Yes, BoB2 installs, loads, and runs fine on Win8,
until you have run the 3D world for about 2 minutes,
whereupon you get a crash announcing a problem with
d3dx9.dll, which is a key part of DirectX 9.0c .
We do not currently have a graphics coder in the bdg,
who can track down and fix this problem.
If this is not your experience, I would be very interested
in hearing it. If you are able to run in the 3D for 20 minutes
or more without the crash, this is quite significant, and
suggests we should try to figure out what is different
between your setup and that of others whose programs are
consistently crashing.
