InCrYsIs Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) There are various threads on Windows 8 but I want this one to be specific to games. I am getting ready to install Windows 8 at home and my 2 primary uses for home PC are school and GAMING. So what I want to know in this thread is what games have you installed and played on Windows 8 that have been problematic. Now I don't want to see 10 year old games. An example of what I am looking for is "I was playing Borderlands 2 on Windows 7 and it was fine I installed Windows 8 with all the latest drivers and now it crashes or locks up etc." Games I will be installing once Windows 8 is installed: Battlefield 3, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3, Borderlands 2, Fallout New Vegas, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, Doom 3 BFG I will report back if I find anything. This also would include any issues with Steam or Origin. Edited October 30, 2012 by InCrYsIs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephilumos Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Running Windows 8 Pro and I've got the following installed: Diablo II Guild Wars 2 Dishonored Terraria Deus Ex: Human Revolution Amnesia: THe Dark Descent Borderlands Batman: Arkham City Dead SPace 2 Fallout 3 Fallout: New Vegas Skyrim All are running flawlessly. The only time I had an issue was with Dishonored. I tabbed out a few times and started getting a stutter every time I moved the mouse. Issue was resolved by re-installing the latest drivers.

bp9801 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Saw this over on Reddit yesterday, seems like a pretty neat way to go about it. The first comment has the XDA post about it. I'm a little tempted to pick up W8 Pro for $30 or so $40, more likely just to have for when I want to try it out. I got W7 that way and didn't install it for nearly six months, so I'll probably do the same with W8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already know in advance I won't be using my G930 headset until they release drivers for it but I have a backup plan for that. The fact that Logitech didn't get drivers out for their flagship headset baffles me. I did a pre-install checklist and that looks like the only issue as of now. I think my games will be fine but you never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
