Anticheat and Windows 8

[Vigilante]

Just figured I would go ahead and post this. Not sure if there has been any further development time spent on R1Q2 or if there will be in the future, but I wanted to let you know that Anitcheat does not work in Windows 8. R1Q2 will run as long as anticheat is disabled. I figured I would go ahead and get this out there.

Yea
No fun in Windows 8 ans servers with AC.
any workaround? Compatibility doesn't help.

R1CH please help. r1q2 always chrashes with message

Code:

Quake II Fatal Error
recursive error after: Reflib FreeLibrary failed

[SquiSHeR]

Here is the screenshot. Error occurs as soon as r1q2 tries to load anticheat.dll (windows

Looking at where this message comes from it looks like it might be a secondary effect of the game client shutting down. The message is coming from the video DLL code, probably during the shutdown process after the anticheat failed. Other than this clue, only R1ch can debug this since the code that actually deals with anticheat is secret.

same problem to me. I wrote already email to R1CH about this, he doesn't answering or just ignoring me/us!

One of our players, Cartman[CAMP], at acmectf.com has got it working.

The steps he took to get to this point:
- Completely disabled UAC.
- Updated video driver with graphics card GPU manufacturer's driver (nVidia). MS drivers shipped with Win8 apparently do not support openGL.
- Applied all updates to Windows 8. Note that there is a new update to Win8 that was just released this past weekend.

Good luck.

WORM, not for all it works. I have full updates and newest drivers, still no joy.
Although sometime you try and there are no problems.
Also I noticed if you are connecting to a server that has low ping for you it loads ac and then you can connect to wherever you want.

found out that R1GL is a problems root for me, not anticheat. With default opengl it works.
