Title: Windows 8
Post by: timeisnotlinear on March 07, 2014, 11:30:45 AM

Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I did a quick check and didn't see a thread on it.

Has anyone been running AH on Windows 8, is it supported? Also, what would I need to grab from my current install for when I upgrade to Win 8 (i.e., where is the config file and is that all I need to grab)?

The game works fine on Windows 8.

If you are copying files from one computer to another.  Grab the "settings", "squads", and "ahiiterr" folders from the old installation.

NOTE:  The following files should be removed from the "settings" folder AFTER they are copied to the new installation:  video8.cfg, and world.cfg.

Sorry, confused on the NOTE.

So I'm to copy those two .cfgs over to the new installation, then remove them?

I assume it would be easier to copy the folder and then remove those two files, rather than try and copy everything but those two files.  However you want to do it, just make sure those old two files do not remain with the new installation.
