Does MechVM work in Windows 8 64-bit?

Post by Blanchflower »

OK, as the thread title goes, does it work on Windows 8 64-bit? The reason I am asking is because I plan to purchase a new PC with Windows 8 64-bit installed.

Thanks!

It should work from what i remember when I tried win8, but I am not 100% sure it was a while ago when it was a beta.

OK, I finally bought a laptop with Windows 8.1 installed. Previously, I was able to run MechVM on Windows 7 64-bit with minor problems. However, sadly this is not the case with Windows 8.1 64-bit. I am getting a message, "Real MechMV 2 has stopped working.."

The problem is, whenever I start a new mission, the game crashes. This is so frustrating. Please advise. Thanks.

Moreover, I would like to add that when I try to install the Slug's Patch, I get a message stating "Unable to locate file to patch."
