Does D3 Not Work With Windows 8?(1)Category: Technical SupportDecember-28-2012 9:35 AM PST (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I just got a new computer for Xmas and it's a windows 8 OS. I'm having trouble installing Diablo 3 on it. Has anyone else had this problem or did Blizzard say anything about this?

All of our modern titles are fully compatible with Windows 8. Technically you can get most of our legacy titles to play on Win 8 too, although sometimes it's a little rough. The B.net menus for SC1 are a bit wonky.

Most of the players I've seen with game problems after upgrading to Win 8 just need to reinstall their video drivers. Occasionally they need to uninstall/reinstall the game. Usually nothing more extreme than that though.

As a personal anecdote, I only had one game (not a Blizzard title) that didn't work after upgrading. For that one I had to copy a fix file into its main directory. That's as wacky as it's been for me, thankfully. ^_^
