Eve may work on 8.1 but the OS might not.
I had experienced the 8.1 bug that would give you a black screen and flickering mouse. Somehow my laptop started in "Refresh" mode, after hours of goggling, and finding out its all because of a MS update. A lot of people experienced that and some solution worked for some and not for others.
Now I stick with 8, and ignore most updates, I have it setup in desktop mode with the Shell Start button, and program that lets me have multiple desktops (like I can on Linux) because MS can't make a very useful feature that Linux and all smartphones have.
I wanted windows 7, but the specs I was looking for when it came were only available with windows 8, and amazon couldn't/wouldn't change the OS ( I asked them).
If it works, don't update to 8.1, the start button is a joke, or a bad troll from MS. |

I would highly recommend going to 8.1 and Install all updates for it, its much much better than original windows 8
Do remember to back up any sensitive files before doing any major changes to your computer. Its always best to be safe!
I am currently running eve on 8.1 using an older sabertooth x58 mobo (not designed for win8) and eve runs just fine, and not running into any issues. Meaning.. If your computer came with 8 then it should not run into any issues so definably do the upgrade. If you do happen to run into an issue, pm me and I might be able to walk u through it. |

Had the same issue it had something to do with the registry settings Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2200. Went into the registry and and made a few edits to it and now its all good. Also downloaded the most recent drivers for the E2200 that came out not to long ago. My comp has been running smooth ever since. |

Your unprovoked hostility aside, I do enjoy the manner of the delivery here where you make a claim without any support to it whatsoever except your own subjective opinion. Meanwhile, from an educated opinion of someone who doesn't call people whose opinion he doesn't like an 'idiot' as the basis for their entire argument...

I haven't had any problems with Eve (or gaming in general) on windows 8 or 8.1 so far.
Trying to do anything other that web browsing (with chrome) or playing games can be frustrating, but I use Linux for that stuff anyway. |

probably more likely because there is no freackign reason to anyone ever use windows 8 over 7.

I work in IT. No not support, Enterprise storage, I love 8.1.
My gaming rig is 8.1 and with Steam Streaming i can play EVE seemlessly at full FPS on my 1g home network on all my linux systems.

No, you are an idiot. W8 UI is garbage, and is designed for people without much of a brain.
This is as nice as I get.

I have had this issue, but only when running EVE and Teamspeak (or any voice comms) at the same time, and i have 12GB of ram.. What exactly did you have to change in the registry? Was it just enabling or diabling a functionality? |

Well, I work in the it community and deal with lots of different companies, not one person I've spoken to likes it or wants it, demand for win7 has gone up. I'm the only one who doesn't mind windows 8 in work, most of my colleagues want it to die in a fire.
edit, eve works well for me on 8.1

I run Eve with windows 8.1, works fine. Windows 8.1 itself is perfectly viable, you just need to download classic shell so that you never see any of the windows 8 bits again. |

I'll wait for Win 9.
Even though you can disable it, just knowing the Metro UI is there, lying dormant on my drive somewhere, is enough to make me puke in my mouth a little.
I used Win XP for nearly 10 years, and I can happily see myself running Win 7 for just as long.

I had no issues doing multi monitors. It was actually easier than Windows 7, just plug and play.
The task manager is actually sorted now by active programs and background applications.
I've seen no extra clicks for anything.
Sure, it's no Google Chrome, but we're getting there.

Kaarous Aldurald wrote:Win 8 has caused me nothing but issues. One of the more hilariously aggravating side effects is their touch screen implementation combined with some of the manufacturer's drivers on my laptop. It makes the launcher utterly unusable(the computer thinks the launcher is on the touchpad interface, and the mouse cursor bounces off that portion of the screen while the launcher is the active window), and has relegated that machine to being used mostly for single clients, while my desktop Win 7 still runs like a dream and actually has a start button.
+1 for Win 7. Quite love it tbh.
Win 8 on the other hand.  My wife has it on her laptop and it is a constant source of aggravation and irritation.

So long as you take the time to force windows 8 to behave less like metro and more like windows the better your experience gets.
So if I force the new OS to behave like the old OS I already run it gets better?

Me and my dad were going to get a laptop for my grandma so that she could browse the web and send emails. We wanted a windows 7 laptop, but all the store had were windows 8 laptops (because microsoft is great company and they want to force their awesome operating system on you). We told the sales person that we did not want windows 8, because we had no experience with it and we heard very bad stories about it. The sales person offered us a 'course' in windows 8, because windows 8 is supposedly very awesome. We told the sales person that if even we did not know how to use windows 8, my grandma at the age of 80 would certainly not be able to use it before she died. We left the store without a laptop and bought a second hand one with windows 7.
tldr: Don't use windows 8 |

Using Windows 8.1 x64 for a while now, not had an issue yet. I run multiple clients on multiple monitors, switching between them is just as easy as it ever was, and they run at the same fps as when I was using Windows 7.
I think all the hate directed towards Windows 8 is due to people not liking change.
People comparing Windows 8 to Vista really don't remember the issues that Vista used to have. |
