blood 2 is a lithtech engine based game.
and all the lithtech engine based games have issues in windows 8. due to that fact that microsoft changed code in directdraw code and among other things.
so even if you tell the game to run in hardware mode. its actually not even using hardware mode. its using some kind of stupid software emulation that games dont like. and compatibility modes dont fix it.
thankyou microsoft for fudging up 13 year old code.
P.S
microsoft tech wont even listen, they say something wrong with your computer.
so this problem isnt going to be fixed anytime soon.
this game runs solid 60fps in windows 7
in windows 8 it run 11fps
I like having new stuff, but this really puts a wet hanky over the whole thing,..
