The Witcher 2 on Windows 8

bump for the sake of mutual curiosity

I dont see why it wouldnt work but I dont have the game or windows 8 itself so I dont know

simple reinstall witcher 2, before uninstall turn off UAC and turn off smartscreen...
compability exe change to windows 7... every game working on windows 8 unless batman:AC need update GFWL and turn off physc-X.

I have the Steam version running on Windows 8 x64 and I don't have any problems with it. Didn't need to flip any compatibility mode or anything. The GOG version (we get both anyway) should be no more of a problem than the Steam one.

Shouldnt need compatibility mode at all as it works fine on Win7, it should work fine on 8. Havne't had any problems with games on windows 8 if they didnt have problems on windows 7.

I'm running The Witcher 2(purchased on steam) on Windows 8 Pro x64 and it works nicely. My only issue is that I cannot figure out how to add a Witcher 2 tile to my start screen.

You know what I'll tell you this, I played this game on Windows 8 x64 and there was no problem with this game. :)

Would I need to have played witcher 1 to understand witcher 2

Your problem there is Windows 8 crapware, just like Vista is it a money making stepping stone created for noobies to waste money on... I suggest formatting and downgrading your OS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0fsyb-ttcw

I'm sure it would work, I haven't had a problem playing any games with Win8 so far. In fact I think I could play more games than I could using my last OS.

I have windows 8 64 pro and have had absolutely no problems getting anything to run. (just need to use "run as administrator" more often than in win7
