Default D3DOverrider Not Launching [Windows 8] - 12-24-2012, 00:42 | posts: 4

Title say it all.

I am running Windows 8 Pro x64 and D3DOverrider will not launch.

No error messages, I just click and get the spinning wheel for a about a second then nothing.

A D3DOverrider process opens in the background (I checked with Task Manager) but no app.

Tried uninstalling and re-installing and a couple compatibility modes but no dice.
I have done some googling with no success.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks in advance!

For me, while it starts up fine, it does not actually work in games.

Yeah I can't even get that far. I have seen a couple of fixes for that involving using Windows 7 compatibly on the .exe you are opening.

I just need to make Metro 2033 playable.
