Windows 8 and UT99

[UTPe]

Has anyone already experimented it ? are there problems ? incompatibility ? if so, does a patch exist ?

i had w8 installed, ut runned like shit, and coun't fix it, so reinstalled 7...

Doesn't W8 have XP compatibility mode just like 7?

[Raynor]

So far as I've tested UT does not need compatibility mode to run on Windows 8, it works fine with latest OpenGL.

Can't imagine playing UT on a tablet

Why would you want to do that? Windows 8 can be installed on regular desktop PCs as well you know

Are you serious? ...No you can't.

you can on android

[Raynor]

Well, technically you can. For example you could hook up your Surface Pro tablet with external keyboard and mouse.

I played it also on a netbook !

I already played UT in a laptop only using the mouse pad, still owned in SLV servers, lmao
In other servers however, the pad revealed itself to be frustrating though.

The only reason Windows 8 exists, is Microsoft needed a new GUI for touch-screen devices.

During the beta testing loads of desktop and laptop testers were bitching that they don't see the point of it, as it was not "better" than Win 7.
They were constantly reminded, Windows 8 will not benefit you, without an over-lay on your PC screen. It is not aimed at mouse and keyboard users.

Okay i have a issue. I didn't want to create a new thread since i found this one.

I have a Windows 8 laptop Sony Vaio E-Series. I installed UT99 and once i click play nothing happens. I'm sort of a noob so any ideas how i can get it going?

Thanks.
