    okay it seems that windows 8 breaks compiling your maps with hammer, I get an 'access is denied" error when vbsp tries to run. so any mappers thinking about updating your OS, don't fucken think about it.

    Whilst I can think of multiple reasons why Windows 8 sucks, that error isn't anything to do with it, I've had that on XP, Vista and 7 at different times.

    And why did you find it necessary to make a thread about it? Who the fuck honestly cares that you installed an operating system that is still under development and had problems running applications? Thanks captain obvious hammer which is meant for windows xp/vista/7 had issues on 8, great, amazing, thanks for wasting 50 kb of the internet.

    :headshot: My Bios/Post/raidcontroller bootup takes 40 seconds, windows 7 itself boots in ~20 afterwards.

    awesome, you can waste your time toying around with two broken GUI Concepts fighting each other, faster than I can boot up a working OS on a proper computer.
