    Hi guys,

    When I try to run KAG.exe on Windows 8 just after 5 seconds Windows informs KAG had a problem and it's closed.

    What it should be?

    I don't have any problems playing on Windows 8, so I think you have another problem.

    Try running it as an administrator? The message said that it failed to write that kag news file, which means that the kag folder is probably somewhere in the program files folder, and therefore locked down.

    If that works, right click the kag folder on your hard drive, and change the permissions for it and all subfolders so that your user account has full access to it.

    p.s. If Windows 8 winds up not working for you, I believe that you can still find OEM copies of 64-bit XP floating around on the intertubes.

    You should try to reinstall your graphics drivers as they're not working at the moment.

    Yeah, apparently the video driver thing is an issue too. If you just upgrade to windows 8, it doesn't bother installing new drivers for you, and you have to get a new set.
