Windows 8.1 - Client.exe has stoped working
« on: March 22, 2014, 04:25:46 pm »
I just installed Windows8.1 and nvidia driver. All latest versions.

When I start the game everything loads, but before i could even move, windows popup window tells me - client.exe has stoped woring.

I have no antivirus besides the Microsoft build in one.

So far I tried:
- run as admin
- run in compatibility with win7
- run low quality, high,ultra

How to debug this?

(also my Nvidia not recognized, but per other forum posts it is not a problem)

We didn't optimized/tested AWR for Windows 8 yet. When we are done with most important things, we will go for it.

I am facing NO problems with windows 8.1 64bit, in neither of my 2 workstations and 1 laptop!
The 2 workstations: i5 - ati 777 and i7 nvidia N650. Laptop i7, nvidia 740M.
Only issue, but not verified yet, is when i ran the client at FULL graphics, i ended up crashing twice, so i reuced the lvl of detail.
I havent double checked yet though!

Finally I found the reason. Part of the install procedure a popup window for installing Directx for the game. I skipped it because thought Windows 8.1 is already comes with the latest version of Directx.

So if you have the same issue, find the install directory and run dxwebsetup.exe .

For better user experience, client.exe should do an integrity check on startup.
