OS for Eq
Created a new computer wanted to know If anyone is running EQ with windows 8? Is there any problems with it running an older game like EQ?

I have ran it on win8 but not recently, I think I was using Rain of Fear client too
iirc just ran it as admin (was a zipped eq folder not an iso install) so was p easy to set up at least for a more recent client. Could always do a "run in compatibility with" win7 or xp or something would be my guess. admittedly I haven't had much experience on a win8 comp I usually run 99 on my winxp desktop but can confirm I've at least ran an eq client on 8

Win8 and never crash. I often DC when zoning and stuff, but I don't think that's Win8-related.

So in order to play I need to run in compatibility mode?

Ran just fine. | ||
