[LovingWindows]

Just an update for anyone that plays Warsow and gets the Failed to load UI DLL message.

Edit your Warsow link and modify the following:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Warsow 0.6\warsow_x64.exe" +set fs_usehomedir 0 +set fs_basepath "C:/Program Files (x86)/Warsow 0.6"

Change it to +set fs_userhomedir 1 and Warsow will load correctly.

[Geezanansa]

(tell me if you want somthing tested)

digidragonZX could you test Call of Duty 2( using ver 1.2 ) and MotoGP 08? please
They will not install on my system at present and it would be good to know that it is currently doable. Thanks in advance.

 

[Geezanansa]

would like to confirm windows compatibility manager is now handling compatibility problems and I now have

Call of Duty 2 (1.2) and MotoGP 08 running on Windows 8.

How are you getting DragonNest to work?

The hackshield stops it from working on my (and AFAIK everyone else's) version of Windows8...

Same with xtrap and gameguard games....

How did you manage to get PWI to work I can't for anything the texture on character's and other bits of graphics fall out and get worse the longer I play. Could you provide me with details on what software you have running I have all the flash player and DirectX installed.

Got these two working from Steam.
