Hi guys, i'm tring to run gp4 on win8 64 bit.
I used compatibility mode XP sp3/Win 98 on gp4.exe and CSM both but unfortunatelly it seem not work....
I also changed owners attributes on files but nothing happens :(
Have you got the same troubbles before?
Let me know if i must have an xp partition or if i can run gp4 on win 8 ;)
Thanks ;)

It's meant to be on GP4.exe not GPxPatch.

Win 8 has not been out that long, and as you know, even users on Win 7 64 bit experience problems, so perhaps a partition and running bootcamp might well be the solution. Check the FAQ as I vaguely recall pinning something about Win 8 not that long ago.

I used to have the same problem, but managed to fix it!

It's all in the f1graphics.cfg!

I can't remember what the exact line you have to change is, but that's how i fixed it.

I'll have a look now

EDIT:

Found it :)

Change this line:

0 ; [RELEASE] Number of multisamples if available (0-16 :: 0 => off, 1 unused)

Multisamples must be 0, or you will get blak screens.

You can always run in windows mode to get the game running with multisamples, but for fullscreen, it must be 0!
