I am having the same problem. No overlay for PR on Windows 8. I start PR Mumble before PR and as an administrator.

No, actually only PR, mumble and windows but not mumble w/overlay. So still problems with mumble overlay in windows 8. Also I haven't activated windows 8.

I think the overlay problem might be a driver or similar issue. Basically, i had issues with overlay and windows 7. But a simple restart or reinstallation of my GFX driver/programs made it work.

Hm, maybe. But I installed FRESH copy of windows 8 then Vcredist and 1) BF2 ; 2) PR ; 3) Map pack, Falklands, Vietnam ; 4) PRmumble ; 5) teamspeak and then I tried the game, it worked but no mumble overlay then I installed video drivers, thought that maybe mumble overlay has some conflict with windows video driver, but no, still didn't work.

Any news on this? Are there people running PR on Win8 NOT having this issue?

Update:
Okay I reinstalled windows 7 from scratch. Not just for this as I have a linux server running FOG (free Opensource Ghost) and wanted to have an image uploaded anyway. I might post a thread on how to install FOG as 45 minute image download is way faster than a 4 hour Windows install. I love how much faster apps pop in Windows 8. Used to have this lag when Alt+Tabbing out of game. Not anymore. Anywho.. So I upgraded to Windows 8. For some reason I cant do a clean install as my DVD drive wont read very far into Windows 8 disk I burned. So I did exactly as before after mumble (and overlay) and PR installed and working. This time with upgrade off and overlay did not work. I worked up from 2005 to 2010 installing vcredist_x64 C++ libraries and service packs from saved files. That didn't work. Let Windows upgrade only 2010 C++ libraries. Nope. Upgraded my video drivers to newest Windows 8. Still not working. Made sure I ran mumble and PR as admin with different compatibility settings (Win7, XP, Vista). Nada. I need to think more on this.

Good work DDS, would love to help solve this problem, but don't have time to install windows 8 again and stuff, because I need to do clan stuff daily. Main reason why I rolled back to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit was that overlay was working, it might seem funny, but I can't play without it. So thank you DDS. MAYBE one day I'll do this again and help you out, but yeah Windows 8 is best so far but its performance.
