Can you run Blockland on Windows 8?

So before I upgrade to Windows 8, I just wanted to make sure if Blockland can run on Windows 8 or not.

Nobody has reported any problems with it, you'll be fine

Only issue I could think of mainly would be the generic video drivers installed, but otherwise it should perform like normal.

Just be sure to get Windows 8 Pro, not Windows RT.

The general rule is, if it runs on Windows 7, it'll run on 8.

It will work as long as you install a Windows 8 driver for your graphics card.

If you can't find the proper driver, try these official driver detecting links.

I ran it without a problem, if you're upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8 on any mainstream brand and model computer, you shouldn't have a problem, Pacnet2012 is just trying to be something important.

The general rule is, if it runs on Windows 7, it'll run on 8.

The general rule is that if it runs on Windows 95 or later, it'll run on anything that is Windows 95 or later.

I have actually had to get new drivers for all the machines I upgraded to Windows 8 before Blockland worked due to the "Blockland Display Initialization Failed" error, and some people might need it or not.

Because the incompatible Windows 7 drivers were removed and replaced with Microsoft's generic drivers which is what I said at the beginning of the topic?

I upgraded to windows 8 and Blockland gives me a BSOD a lot when i'm hosting.

[Heitmeyers]

I know I haven't posted in a while, but if I just bought this laptop, will I need to download any video drivers, or will I be able to start playing Blockland?

[KoopaScooper]

Not likely, but in the case Blockland says "No suitable display device detected" or something along the lines, download this, run it, and you should be fine.

will I need to download any video drivers

"Not likely" was directed towards this, my bad for not including the quote.

Solved. Now locking.
