[quote="BRAVE"]I can't get soma running properly on my new laptop wich has windows 8. I have Windows 8.1 Enterprise - 64 bit. Full window doesnt work for me.. can't even get login screen. Already changed resolution and went to 16 bit .. doesnt help. With window mode i can login but when i start playing after like 10 secondes i get a message "myth of soma has stopped working". Had it like 20 times in row now. Internet connection aint the problem cause soma works well on my old laptop wich had a previous version of windows. Been searching on forum quite a bit now but haven't found anything useful so far ... Anyone any ideas what the problem could be and how to fix it? Thx[/quote]

[quote="EVIL_JR"]have you downloaded runtime or might be able to right click icon and change compatibility mode?[/quote]
