Darkwind
Windows 8

Installed Windows 8 and now I can't get Darkwind to work.

I get the MSVC whatever complaint (downloaded C++ and that didn't help).

Reinstalled and that didn't help.

The farthest I've gotten is logging on and then getting a message that says there's an error allocating virtual memory.

Any insights?

Anyone running under Windows 8?

Seems to be working now. Not sure if this is what did it, but I added C++ 32 bit (already had 64 bit)

Win 8 = pure garbage for a laptop or desktop... also way too restrictive...

I'm pretty sure Darkwind is a 32 bit game anyway? May have had something to do with it.

it's not 16 bit? Maybe if everyone puts in their 2 bits worth, it will add up. B)

Now the game regularly crashes after an event. Anyone have a fix for that?

Having the same problem. Windows 8, and game client crashes after ending any event.

It does that on all operating systems to varying degrees

Oddly, my client crashes less often now. Didn't do anything I know of.
