    Default Any1 running PSO2 on Windows 8?

    About to buy an ASUS tower with decent/good specs but unsure about the Windows 8 that comes pre-installed. Does this game run better on Windows 7? Heard that some games are unplayable on it like BF3. Thx in advance.

    Same, I've had a much better performance boost with it on Windows 8.

    +1 to the "Windows 8 runs PSO2 way better than Windows 7" camp.
    About the only thing you can hate is the Metro start screen...
    I don't need a signature pic, I would end up changing it all the time.

    I'm surprised to hear that it runs better on Windows 8. It has a higher FPS or something?

    For me and others yes. I've noticed about 10-15+ better FPS. It's also allowed me to play Vindictus reliably again .

    On higher end PC's it might not show, but the reason is because it removes the Aero effect, which actually took more resources than most people would think. Not to mention an upgraded engine. Provided you don't keep 50+ apps open like I did, nearly crashing my computer. >.>

    I heard Microsoft was going to try to go the xbox route with windows 8 and package every game you could play on PC for a MSpoint equivalent.

    Good thing they didn't take the pants on head retarded approach.
