Windows 8 Compatibility

I wouldn't call a game that crashes every time UAC wants something from you compatible. Lucky 2.0 should fix that.

so does windowed mode, fyi.

UAC crashes can be avoided by disabling the 'secure desktop" (called dimming the desktop in win7) which causes UAC prompts to appear on the normal desktop instead. The secure desktop makes real, official windows prompts and warnings easier to distinguish from fakes by placing them on the dimmed screen which only the OS can access. But largely because it's on by default, i've never seen or heard of any malware that makes fake UAC prompts appear.

fyi maybe people should stop talking about stuff and present it as facts when they never did it themself?
IT does not. At least not on Windows 8 and that's what we are talking about.
I'm running it in Windowed mode and it crashes with that stupod device lost error message everytime I try to run an executable.
If you are talking about a third party windower, thats another topic and you should have specified that. I'm talking about the integrated function to run the game in windowed mode.

Hmmm, I haven't had an issue like that in ages. Perhaps there's a rescource conflict with that executable you're trying to run.

Really? I'm having it everytime I download something and execute it. UAC brings up a blue bar asking for execution of the file and you cant use any other interface till you answer it. It's no problem with installed stuff.
On windows 7 I deactivated UAC, but Windows 8 needs it activated or a lot of stuff doesn't work anymore.
