Did you use the shortcut on desktop, or launched the game directly from setup after install?

Compatibility mode is not needed, on Win8 game needs to launch with parameter that is added to all shortcuts (desktop, start menu, in game folder etc) but maybe it was missed when launched directly from setup.

bczretribution: After playing a bit by myself with the game running fine I decided to play against a friend. I found in another thread on this forum that to do that we needed to use gameranger. Game ranger runs fine and we can get a game running no problem. however game ranger requires you point it at an .exe, not a shortcut. so this means that i have to play upside down. unless anyone has been able to figure out another way to solve this. alternatively if anyone can tell me the necessary ports the game uses to play I might be able to host a game without game ranger which would also solve the problem.
I'm not sure if this will work, but you may give it a try:
Please download the file here and put it in the game folder (where REBEXE.EXE is).
Try to launch it - if the game starts correctly, you can point Gameranger to it.

I didn't test it though. If it won't work I'll try to think of something else on Monday ;)

darthcircuit: It won't allow me to select it in GameRanger. It won't run anything but rebexe.exe - maybe if you rename the actual rebexe something else, and use the same autoitscript but call it rebexe.exe - then just modify your script to run the renamed exe.

if that makes sense.
I never used Gameranger, I thought it allowed any .exe. If I rename REBEXE.EXE to something different, then compatibility fix won't work anymore.

It's still doable and I have an idea, but I prefer to do it at work, not from home. I'll get back to it on Monday then ;)

Another file to try: >clicky<
- rename or copy original REBEXE.EXE somewhere safe (in case sth won't work)
- download the file from link above and put it in the game folder
- rename [win]REBEXE.EXE to REBEXE.EXE
- try to launch it directly, if it works, try with GameRanger

It's UNTESTED!! So, if you have any saves and whatnot, backup everything beforehand.

Blackvenym: The .EXE posted above fixes the upside down items but the game is now windowed and not "borderless" windowed, (Hope that makes sense) seems playable, only a part of the right and bottom of the window are off the screen.
on Win8, if renamed correctly, should not be off screen. There is a compatibility fix (added during installation via .sdb file) that correct this specific issue.

If the game window is partially off-screen, it means that something went wrong during installation.

feld1701: [...]
What gives you that warning? I can download the file via Chrome without problems and it passes normal Google virus scan.
The file is stored on my Drive and it didn't change since uploading ;)

sidewinderaim9x: First, thank you Thiev for the patch!

I can play in windowed mode and everything looks good except my window is too small and I can't make the game full screen. Right now, it's only taking up a quarter of the screen. Any ideas?
Unfortunately game has fixed resolution of 640x480 and won't get bigger. Best thing you can do, is to right click on the exe file -> properties -> compatibility and check 'run in 640x480'.
