Windows 8.1 Pro & EQ
 

Has anyone tried playing EQ on Windows 8.1 Pro? Well I have...

For many months now I've run EQ on Windows 8 with no problems at all... last night I "upgraded" to Windows 8.1 and now EQ is BROKEN! When EQ starts to load to the character select screen... BOOM! I get a memory related error and EQ closes.

Anyone else have issues with 8.1?

Yes

Is there a way to restore back to 8.1?

Aww shit. I always fail at search!

Yes! That's the error I get!

Yeah you can restore back which is what I'll be doing tonight....

Please post after to let us know your results.

Friend of mine did computer share with the guy in this thread: http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...d.php?t=126758

He tried the compatibility thing, and it didn't work on his PC. That guy is currently playing the game, but on a different PC.

I will be anxious to hear your results.

I've had success with this. The game is now loading without crashing. Thanks pal!

Despite it working. Def going back to win7 pro... way better drivers all around for my juicy box
