Game not running on Windows 8
« on: April 26, 2015, 08:37:06 pm »
Hi!

Using Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 7 I compiled my game and tested it on other machines. It works perfectly except on Windows 8. Whenever I run the game, the message "Game.exe stopped working..." pops up and the game crashes. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Create a debug build and run it through the debugger.
My guess is a driver issue. Is the GPU driver uptodate? Are you running it in a VM?

Thanks for the fast reply!

The driver is updated and I'm not running in a VM, it's in my laptop.

What are the specs? How do other OpenGL based applications perform?

A stack trace would still be the most helpful information. ;)
