New issue 127 by Stak...@hotmail.se: Windows 8 - malfunction
http://code.google.com/p/quadra/issues/detail?id=127

Hello

I am trying to run this program. (It worked fine on my windows xp). But
now when i try to run this on my windows 8 it's not working. I have tried
to compability settings which has proven useless.

The error message i get says: Generic DirectX error
and the other one says: CyberLink Power2Go does not support the current
screen resolution and DPI setting.

Is there a way for me to make it work?

Hmm, that's a very strange error... "CyberLink Power2Go" is supposed to be
some DVD burning software?!?

I don't really see why this should interfere with your video, but from what
I'm reading on the Internet, it's because this software has a fake video
driver to allow capture of the screen while playing DirectX games?

You could try uninstalling CyberLink Power2Go from your computer, and see
if it works after?

We're working on a new version of the game that uses completely different
graphics code, and shouldn't have any problem (in particular, it will keep
your current screen resolution and DPI settings, but uses the video card to
stretch the image to full screen, instead of changing the screen
resolution).

I'll close as "cannot reproduce" here, but if you have more information,
feel free to add it to this bug report, thanks!

Hello,

I run into the same issue (or almost) :
What I do : Run the game (C:\Program Files (x86)\Quadra\quadra.exe)
What I get : The screen goes black for like 1 sec., I can see briefly that
the resolution changes, and the program exits with the error "Generic
DirectX error".

I run Windows 8 64bits, with an Intel i7 and a Nvidia GeForce (with the
appropriate drivers I think).

Note that I don't get the second error message about Cyberlink Power2Go,
nor do I have any Cyberlink-related stuff.
