wairuakaha Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Has anyone managed to run SWTOR on Windows 8 successfully? I tried and only got as far as the SWTOR window that gave me the option to hit 'Play' or 'Exit'. I clicked 'Play' and failed to get any response or proceed any further (i.e. the game did not proceed to the usual loading screen / sequence). Looking forward to reading about the experience of others who have tried especially since alot of machines sold off the shelf today come with Windows 8 pre-loaded. Cheers!

Infernixx Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Mine runs fine. But if you're having issues, run it with Win 7 compatibility and run it as Administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cortal Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 there was a thread before (i think from last year actually) of someone asking if windows 8 was any good for gaming bottom line, it is, the whole thing is built off windows 7 so you get all the normal and old functionality anyways, i've been running windows 8 for a long time and been play tor on it as well, there was a slight performance increase overall (5-15 fps) and haven't had any issues (other than the normal bugs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if this comes across like an annoying noob question but how do I run my present Windows 8 "with Win 7 compatibility"? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Should be able to right-click on the executable icon for the game and there will be a box to check under Properties and then the Compatibility tab.

Shukan Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 I am running Win 8 and SWTOR with no issues. You might want to run it in Win XP compatibly mode for better results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
