My motherboard is pooched so I need to get a new machine. I can only get a machine that has win8.1 and was wondering if 1.15.2 will run on it


- I know those voices in my head are not real, but man they have some good ideas.

- I never killed anyone, but I have read a large number of obituaries with great satisfaction.

- If I cannot make it to your funeral, I will certainly send a message indicating my approval.

- Time is money, so I decided to sell my watch.

I'm not 100% sure if it will or not. But I am pretty sure everything is compatible. I have ran both 1.15.0 and 1.15.2 patches successfully on Windows 7 , if that helps any.

I'm not sure of the differences between windows 7 & 8 ,but hopefully someone with Windows 8 will respond to give you a solid yes or no answer.

Yes, it runs fine. Installed it today.

You just need to go to Control Panel / Programs and Features / Windows Features / Legacy Components and then add DirectPlay.

Win 8.1 x64 here.
Cheers.

I have installed 1.15.2 on WIn 8.1.
I have a problem with warning/status lights panel and MFDs in Ka-52 cockpit:
1. MFDs are blank - do not work in cockpit view
2. All panel lights illuminated - can't see what is turn on/off.

All other helos cocpits work fine.

Do you have any solution for this?

Thnaks.

I've run it on Windows 10, so it should work on any version.

I can't run EECH in Windows10, after installing the GoG version I get an error message telling me I'm missing directplay which won't install

Ah, give me 5 minutes till I dig out the answer. I think I had to install an older direct x version... BRB

Thanks Messyhead but sorry, that didn't help.(edit - The first time...)
So I re-downloaded the installer and extracted it to a dedicated folder, ran the installer and it's all good. Many Thanks.

I'm glad that sorted it. It should probably be added to the install instructions for Windows 10, I'll try and remember to do it. Can you do me a favour and ping me in a week if I've not updated the instructions?

Actually, that happens alot with zipped files. Hit the set-up exe from within the zip and you think yeah, it´s working. But then you get problems. I always extract to, then install these days.
