Many guys have problem with running gunz on windows 8... and they were right.. i also tried gunz running on windows 8 but it crashed unexpectedly when i pressed start game in any game mode.
Can anyone tell the fix ?
n sorry that i cant give mlog coz i formatted the pc to windows 7 !
well gunz is very old game i guess areia gamers should fix it
btw you can run the runnble on any mode you wan't right clicks propoties ... (or w/e)
Compatibility tick v on run this progrem then try windows 7 or something
Freestyle hasn't even fixed it yet so don't expect a fix so soon.

i dont know wtf is problem but i think this fix should go with realspace source.
@Military recently i saw a post on FGunz web bout compatibility of windows 8 ... not sure.
1 more problem i noticed in WINDOWS & GUNZ . Shotguns go smoothly and get perfect bullet out of gun in WINDOWS XP but same shotgun with same xml's used on windows 7 (Home/basic/professional/ultimate) give hard delay..means bullet doesnt come out as fast as it comes in windows XP ..
conclusion: Gunz should be fixed with OS compatibility ..
just check out my readings :
Windows XP : Gunz performance - Smooth
Windows 7 : guns and sword delay too much
Windows 8 : TOTALLY CRASHED LOL
MLog wouldn't be of much use, the only aid it could come of is to point you where it's crashing and start to debug it. Who knows, it may be a bug in the compatibility section of DirectX 9.0c for the DirectX 12 SDK (ffs, don't install DirectX 9 on a Windows 8 computer).
As a heads up, it may not be a bug. I remember being a part of a topic in the XNA MSDN forums about Windows 8 and compatibility. A lot of game developers, and even companies, are resenting Microsoft for Windows 8 due to the nightmare it is to create games for Windows 8.
No understand? Windows 8 is aiming (but backward compatibility is still their!!) for recent applications and games using newer methods, API's, interfaces, IDE's, etc. I guess they're getting tired of legacy.
Right i guess... But my point is , Microsoft wont stop on their basic old feet (XP , 7 and old functions) .. they will improve their OS's more than this.. so rather than discussing on OS we can search an alternate option for modifying source with latest microsoft builds... I liked your directX point.
the big problem is that, gunz developers never thought about OS's development / compatibility. Gunz sorce will be useless when microsoft launches further version of windows. May be some program will be running quite well but we cannot judge gunz here. Because Gunz already started giving problems regarding 64 bit also.
FIX for this problem: Code something unbelievable or wait for MAIET to make for us LOL.
My expectations of solution on this is from: PenguinGuy , SecretsOthepast, Reco , omar , Jacob, Mark and MATEUS :)
Please share somemore info on this topic!
You had a typo. :] I won't be touching GunZ again, I'm just back because I got a couple days left to kill.
About x64 compatibility, there are certain things that isn't accepted. For instance, inline Assembly: Intrinsics and Inline Assembly (C++)
I will not list everything because frankly, I don't care. :]
Like Travis , I'm over with developing GunZ , also not that experienced.
Too early to bother yourself with Windows 8.
Early thinking is best dude... i think its too late. Windows 8 is launching in october. soon ppl will have win8.. so we have to start a project on win8 gunz source now -.-"
Took a while for us to start using Windows 7 even after its release.
Disagree
Things arenbt same evrytime..may be win8 will be totally different..??
lolDisagree
Format C and install something other than Windows. Pretty much solved 99.9% of all my problems.
How about this? Why not just stop what you are doing until Win8 is fully functional? Or just give up since Gunz is really damn old for Win8.
