Windows 8 supported?

from Elemental Forums

I've been watching Das24680's Fallen enchantress play throughs on youtube, and the game seems pretty good. I'm just wondering if FE supports windows 8 because (http://www.systemrequirementslab.com) reckons it doesn't. I also checked the FE website and it doesn't say if windows 8 is supported. If this game works on windows 8 I will definitely buy this game and help you out with good input on the beta hopefully  :grin: .

Yes, it runs on Windows 8. And will be supported on the release version of Windows 8 when available. The website will be updated in the coming weeks.

Make sure you don't use the video drivers that come with Windows 8. I had terrible problems with my games, including FE.

Like the image below by any chance? Because that's what I'm enduring at the moment. How did you solve it? (I downloaded the game several hours ago and I've been trying to figure out the problem and how to solve it)

Who in his right mind would like to get Windows 8?

Windows 8 is the very early and busted alpha of windows 9. :D

Gotta get the newest video drivers. 

I have an nVvida card and I got all kinds of weird corruption in my various games (including FE).  nVidia has an updated driver on their site.

Well I naturally updated yesterday but today I've found out AMD hasn't yet released any support for the radeon 4000 and older (I have an ancient 3100). So I'll have to wait until the Windows 8 retail comes out in October. I guess I'll host a virtual windows 7 or make one of my drives windows 7 until they decide to support my card.

 

The fact I played the game 8 hours straight even with choppy graphics is a testament to the game though. I also hope you use the money from my purchase to buy Kael a beer (big fall from heaven fan).
