Has anyone run WITE or WINTPAE? Are there posts that address this? Thanks.

I wonder how many people will try to run x86 apps on Windows RT. Clever ploy from Microsoft, but this time one Windows != Windows RT, even though they look the same. To answer the original question, the game should run on any Windows 8, except the RT, which is on ARM processor and requires apps crafted especially for it and published through MS app store.

I have been running both under Win 8 Pro 64 for the past month or so with no problems whatever.

Hi my friend is having difficulty with it. He thought maybe it is a Windows 8 issue, but some of you seem to have no issues.

Is there any potential problem with high dpi displays?

There should not be any problems with high dpi displays. My copy works great at 1920x1200 and I have run it on a higher def screen just as a trial.

Been running on Win 8.1 Pro for a few days with heavy play of the GC. No issues at all so far.

As a rule of thumb, if it works on Windows 7 it should work on Windows 8.1 as well. Actually, 8.1 is better interms of backwards compability because Aero UI was ditched. I have numerous games that wouldn't run on win7 but they work now like a charm.
