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

Re: Windows 8 And Project Reality
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.

Re: Windows 8 And Project Reality
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.

Re: Windows 8 And Project Reality
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.

Re: Windows 8 And Project Reality
Any news on this? Are there people running PR on Win8 NOT having this issue?

Re: Windows 8 And Project Reality
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.

Re: Windows 8 And Project Reality
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.
