I installed Bulletstorm on my Win 8 PC the other day and while it installed, it hasn't been launching for some reason. Whenever I try to launch it nothing ever comes up. I tried launching it from the Start Menu, Game Explorer, Steam, and the actual exe but nothing worked. I even tried launching as admin but it seems to refuse to launch. Any Help? It's the boxed version btw.

Try using compatibility mode for Win7.. Or use whatever the system recommends for the .exe. ;)

Running in Compatibility Mode for 7/Vista/XP doesn't work, my system recommends running it using Compatibility Mode with Windows XP SP3 but it still doesn't work.

Hmm... What happens when you delete the game and install via Steam download instead of DVD?

I haven't bought it on Steam, I just have the DVD.

Bulletstorm requires "Games For Windows Marketplace" to be active in the background. Make sure your account with them is running. I am playing Bulltetstorm in W8CP and GFWM starts automatically when I open the game. Check your account.
I actually see improvements in this game and many others under W8CP compared to my previous W7U.
