TTDP on Windows 8

Post by WWTBAM »

Just tried TTDP on Windows 8/Windows Developer Preview and it starts. Music works.

Any special settings such as "XP mode"?

Probably. Under the hood it's "just" windows 6.2, i.e. whatever runs on vista or seven will in great likelihood also run on eight.

Nope. Just running as Admin since UAC thinks it is needed. I am running it off of my windows 7 physical disk without changing any settings..

At least if TTDPatch is in \Program Files (or \Program Files (x86)), Admin privileges are required; one of the very first things TTDPatch does is create a copy of GameGFX.exe (or one of its friends) and edit that copy. This is not exactly on the list of UAC-approved activities.
To get a good answer, ask a Smart Question. Similarly, if you want a bug fixed, write a Useful Bug Report. No TTDPatch crashlog? Then follow directions.

It's in C:\MPS\TTWin95 on Windows 7 or D:\MPS\TTWin95 on Windows 8. I suspect if I put it under Documents it would be fine.
