Windows 8 and SWTOR

Has anyone heard if(or when) SWTOR is going to be patched/fixed/whatever so that it works with windows 8?

Every post I've read says that performance is HORRIBLE on windows 8. Thing is, all the shops I go to only sells computers with windows 8 OS. Which is understandable...

I'm currently playing full time on my laptop(windows 7). SWTOR runs really, really smoothly on it. The only issue I've had is random bugs screwing up my launcher, forcing me to run the repair tool or completely re-install the game. Irregardless of how well it plays on my laptop, it's xmas soon and I want to buy myself a brand new desktop to replace the old one that went to computer heaven last year.

I know I could buy windows 7 online, but I really don't want to keep myself downgraded just for this game.

Windows 8 ingeneral i bad for most games and performance. i would upgrade windows 7 if thats what you have is where you should stay.

So windows 8 is the new vista?

its pretty bad for gaming i had it on one of my harddrives i had to wipe the thing to bare bones and install 7 again. It didnt work well with wow ether crashed it alot. tera, league of legends, any game i really played on pc wouldnt ope or would crash with 8

I'm not going to change to windows 8 until they make me.

its crap IMO. & to me has had the best performance on games since xp.

Bioware barely has SWTOR working for Windows 7.

And you want them to improve its performance for Windows 8.

See the issue with swtor on windows 7 and people complaining that it doesnt work is surprising because its not a huge percentage like you think it is. I run s Dual core processor and Radeon 5770 HD and 6 GB of ram, a bit sub par from other machines and i run swtor on high at 60fps on every planet and every time.

Thanks for answering. I will just buy windows 7 online then.

Honestly, I buy computers for gaming. If they don't work well on it, then it's not for me.

Besides the bugs and sever overload stuff, it runs fine for me. No lag at all.
