Win 8 Windows 8 And Project Reality (Mumble Overlay Fix!) - Page 5

Did anyone else give a try getting mumble overlay working on Windows 8?

LITOralis.nMd · 2013-01-24, 02:29

I honestly do not think it is coded to work, regular mumble requires the dll libraries from 1.2.4XXX Beta to get overlay to work on windows 8. PRmumble is not going to be updated to 1.2.4 any time soon. Mumble switched audio codecs after 1.2.3 , it is a big job and the PRmumble Devs are not particularly active.

Don't put too much time into this unless you can get the dlls from 1.2.4XXX beta to work with the 1.2.1 mumble that PRmumble is based on. THat probably requires actual coding to make thew 1.2.4beta dlls backward compatible to 1.2.1

No PR then. Not gonna revert to W7.

You won't play PR just cause you can't have the overlay? Come on temexter!

Installed Win8 here and PR mumble doesn't seem to join channels (im in root). Ran as admin, different comp. modes (xp, win7 etc), disabled overlay, nothing seems to be working. Any help?

Well at least we know now perhaps why it doesn't work. I'm not all that concerned with Windows 8 honestly. And with 1.0 on the horizon I want to be ready to rumble.. Wish I was smarter than a third grader and knew how to program.

Hats off to all of the PR team.
Next time I donate I request a small sum is used to buy you all a cold one on me.

Cuz I'm that kinda guy!

Meh, I've experienced reduced CTDs after getting everything sorted out for Windows 8 (took some time, but it was worth it). I'm content.

Ohh no. That's really disappointing. I am not rolling back to windows 7 as I like the performance of Windows 8 etc. Playing without mumble overlay is a major handicap.

Really too bad.

hope they can sort mumble out for windows 8 i dont have seven its new and came with 8

Maybe it's easier to backport the "fix" to the current PR mumble code base?

If this really is the fix (not sure), it doesn't seem to be too complex unless there are more dependencies or the PR code branch is extremely different.
