Hey everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed the holidays and hope the new year has been a good one thus far. I apologise for not replying or getting in touch sooner. I tried enabling and disabling Hyper-V which didn't affect anything and at the time I had every C++ redistributable package known to mankind as well as .NET packages and DirectX installed.
But in the end, I decided to go back to Windows 7. For a few reasons:
- Other games like Max Payne 3 wouldn't even let me sign into the Rockstar Social Club (I wasn't the only one with this issue)
- Games for Windows Live wouldn't appear after an update with regards to Batman: Arkham City (again, not the only one with the issue)
- Off course, BC having low fps issues
- After thinking about it, other than a little bit of a performance boost and a few things like the Ribbon UI, Task Manager - there is no real reason for me to have Windows 8. I bought StartIsBack to replace the Modern UI/Start Screen which was/is M$'s main pitch for the OS.
After going back to Windows 7, any and all of the above issues were resolved. I've been enjoying Max Payne 3, Games for Windows Live works and I'm getting decent fps in BC again (75fps, unless there's a way to turn off v-sync that I'm not aware of).
