This is

"How to play PR with Windows 8"

Punkbuster
Basically, you have to download this: http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

And install it.

Then it works.

Mumble
First download and install this: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...redist_x64.exe

Then this: http://realitymodfiles.com/dbzao/PR_...0.0_Beta_4.msi

And install it.

Then it works.

Upgrade
If you upgrade from windows 7 to windows 8. All the files should be there, just create new shortcuts.

Look in Program Files(86x)/PR Mumble And EA Games. All the stuff should be there. Unless you decided to format.

Thanks goes to mr DDS in this thread; https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f11...ml#post1832815

If anyone wants to add anything, ill update the thread.

Steam VS Disc
Use a disc version not a Steam version. It gives an unknown error that crashes PR.

PR Mumble overlay works for me after this:

Guide to fix it:

Shut down PR Mumble.
Go to your PR Mumble folder - mine was in ("C:\Program Files (x86)\PR Mumble").
Rename the file named mumble_ol.dll to mumble_ol_backup.dll (if the fix does not work I recommend switching back to this file)
Copy the file from the link below to the PR Mumble folder. Effectively replacing the file that you renamed (the new file should be named mumble_ol.dll). (If you download the .zip remember to unzip it)
EDIT: See my next post in this tread, new instructions from here.

This worked for me!

If anyone else on Windows 8 can try this fix and confirm it works, that would be ace!

This is the mumble_ol.dll from the latest Snapshot build of Mumble (2013-06-12), the same file is attached as a .zip if my link dies in the future.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d39v61l12tiyv98/mumble_ol.dll

I run PR Mumble "as admin" and with -m startup flag and PR also "as admin".

Moreover Alt-Tabbing PR in fullscreen works for me after closing MSI Afterburner. Works also with MSI Afterburner latest beta: http://download1.msi.com/files/downl...p300Beta11.zip

Seems that AB's overlay causes this. Probably some other softwares' OSD could cause this too...
