There 's no reason it wouldn't. It works on vista, Win 7 so....

I'm using Win 8.1 x64 here, and can't make it run (modded or not): when it launches the "game" executable it gives a generic error (stopped working) and back to debriefing.

I got it to briefly work (some 15 seconds) on software rendering, but then it crashed... I'll test it on my other PC (win 8.1 x64 again) and see if it works. If not, I'll make a winxp virtual machine to play it.

PE expects full rights to write to your HDD. I would install it to C:/PE rather then the default path. You may need to install DirectX 9. Make sure Windows is not using it's "VirtualStore" feature. Run PE's 3D config and try a smaller screen resolution.

I already installed it on a non-default path... Also, DirectPlay was already installed under legacy devices (usual problem with old games o Windows 7 and 8). The funny thing is that, when I installed it on my laptop (windows 8.1, radeon 7970m istead of the desktop 280x - but diferente drivers) it ran ok, both software and hardware modes...

I didn`t test it modded yet, but I think there will be no issue... I`ll try changing the desktop video drivers, but I got the game to play on the laptop, so it`s ok for me as it is!

Do you have the AA settings turned on your Nvidia 280X? Because this is a much older game it may not like the AA. On your laptop with much lower specs I would expect you wouldn't use AA to game.... One thing to try is install the game on a separate partition which I always do with Win 7. I have Win8.1 on my new laptop but I haven't installed yet.

Nice pics Daskal! I seem to remember you. Didn't you ask me for new sounds for the KV-1 for Steel Fury a couple of years ago?

I have this mod installed on my pretty strong new computer but my graphics dont look nowhere near as good as those in the pics. Am I missing something?

Hi MADLOU, did you run 3d control center in the install directory?

Here are my settings, please note that i can not run PE any higher than 1920*1080, I would start there and try higher if you have that capability.

frown nope. I made the object editor able to replace parts of a single tank and Slomo published a Firefly. To make a 75mm M4A4, you only need to replace the turret gun and edit the data file. You can also add player slected cammo and make each 3D model unique for the formation position.

Sorry, "but al is an ass, and al is rude". I am tired of 'you should do/call me when you have' from the general public..

Those Shermans are just the ticket! Or should I say, just the target?

I'm hoping someone can help me. I just bought Panzer Elite off of Amazon.(Wish I would have jumped on it when it was still at GOG)

-I installed the game to my own C:\ location. When it installed, it automatically opened a file destination that had a bunch of files in it including the mod enabler and such. I tried following the path destination that Windows 7 provides at the top but I can't find where these files are and the location is now closed as I closed everything after the installation.

The destination had it as per memory in C:\, Program data so on and so forth. I can't for the life of me can't find where this Program Data location is and I know I've seen it in the past.

-Also the mod says it needs patch version 1.2. Where can I find that? Thanks all.
