Anyone got Windows 8 to work with PR?

Post by Agemman »

After a corrupted Windows 7 ISO failing to install I couldn't be arsed downloading a new one, so instead I tried the Win 8 Dev Preview. Everything works fine and dandy, except for PB it seems. Whenever I try to join a server I get booted by PB...

From googling the error codes I've realised that loads of people had the same problems with the Windows 7 Beta and that PB doesn't support any Beta OS. What I'm mearly asking is if anyone has Windows 8 as well and has found a way to make things work.

The only things installed and running are Xfire, TS, Steam, BF2+PR and Mumble. Nothing else as of yet.

Cheers.

Herp.

On a more serious note, i suggest contacting PB about it. cause they might be interested in sorting this out with you. As Windows is a major OS providor.

They will not support any OS that has not been released to the shelves as a final release. So as I am using a beta/dev preview they will just tell me to install Win 7 again :p

There is only one unforgivable lie That is the lie that says, This is the end, you are the conqueror, you have achieved it and now all that remains is to build walls higher and shelter behind them. Now, the lie says, the world is safe.? The Great Khan.

40k is deep like that.

If I remember correctly there was no way to made it work with W7 beta so I assume there is none for W8.
It's completely up to Evenbalance.
