Hi all

I was just wondering if anyone knows if T3d will work under win 8.1?

Basicly I was wonder if anyone is using it yet I was thinking about upgradeing my T3D system from win7 to 8.1 but I wanded to make sure it would work first thanks

I had T3D up and running on my Surface Pro the other day, 8.1 is not an issue for it. You may need to use the development branch though if you're using VS2013 or just wait for the 3.6 release.

I apologize for not getting back to you ss promised? I didn't realize it would take over 30 minutes to unzip and install. I had to go to bed that night and work the next morning. I needed sleep badly!

But I see that several other people have answered your question.

Good Luck!

T3D 1.1 (and presumably later) will work under 8.1 although you may get a complaint about the OpenAL audio driver being missing and the DirectX version being mismatched.

Downloading and installing the driver and any pre-8 DirectX clears it up.
