Keep your fingers crossed. Windows 8 isn't released so there fore they don't have to support.it.

Anything constructive or actually useful to share? No? Come back when you do.

Anyway, it seems to be something in the TL.exe file after all.
It seems to be the signature attached to it. I am almost done re-patching and will be trying a new, edited TL.exe file.
Let you know if it works.


Try this:

Open an Elevated Command Prompt and type the following commands, then reboot:
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON

To turn it off again, use these commands:
bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF

The last patch mentioned changes to the abuse filter.

They may have accomplished this by adding new detection strings for macros, hacks, etc and the game is failing a security setting in Windows 8.

Note: You do NOT want to have testsigning off for an extensive amount of time. It is a feature of the new built-in security for Windows 8.


And on a personal note...I hope Windows 8 is never officially supported by any main-stream games. It looks and feels like an ugly, broken version of iOS for desktops. But I do hope that you get it working again.

I also had no luck getting Tera to run after turning off those security checks. However, thank you very much for the tip.

I can't say I love what MS has done with Metro in a desktop environment, I have however found it incredibly easy to ignore in 99% of my day to day computing. And while the desktop side of Windows 8 hasn't improved in huge ways over Windows 7, there are some nice little touches and improvements everywhere.

That was sound advise, however, it did not work for me either.
I tried several older .exe files and nothing worked, either.
I'll keep poking at this tomorrow. Good night!

Unrelated, but I wonder if this is why my Kaspersky has been alerting me about Tera.exe every time I opened the game today when it never did so before. o.0

It might have hooks or something that it is picking up as harmful.

Also having the same issue using Windows 8 and trying to play TERA.

I can log into the launcher but when I press play it appears as though nothing has happened although TERA.exe and TL.exe are running in the background.

I did a Live Chat with a GM and got this response;


GM Lord.Game.God: I also see Windows 8
GM Lord.Game.God: is that correct?
Twinkleboy .: Yeah
Twinkleboy .: but it has worked on this machine from CBT1 until now
GM Lord.Game.God: TERA is not supported with Win8 yet
Twinkleboy .: and i have the game running in Windows 7 compatability mode
GM Lord.Game.God: the new patch has caused an error
Twinkleboy .: Yes
GM Lord.Game.God: We are working to get the game compatible with the Win8, it is just not there yet.
GM Lord.Game.God: I can send your information to the developers to review to help get a new patch that will let TERA and Win8 play nice together.
Twinkleboy .: That would be awesome mate!
Twinkleboy .: I haven't had any issues from Closed Beta Test 1 up until last night
GM Lord.Game.God: We are aware of the new WIn8 issue that has been popping up more and more recently, and are working to get it working smoother. Win8 is still beta and it is tricky when rolling out patches for a Beta OS.
GM Lord.Game.God: You may want to try compat mode or sue wins 7 for a little while while we work on this feature.
GM Lord.Game.God: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Twinkleboy .: No :( as I own no other operating system I guess I may not be able to play for a few months, should I unsubscribe until I get a notification that a patch is ready?
GM Lord.Game.God: We do update teh patches every week, so hopefully we get this fix sooner than a month.
Twinkleboy .: That would be great as I am totally going to be sad not being able to play with my friends until then
GM Lord.Game.God: Sorry, but your Info will help to get this fixed.
GM Lord.Game.God: Thank you for all your patience.
GM Lord.Game.God: Have a great day.
GM Lord.Game.God: Bye.

You silly skinny jean wearing hipsters, lol.

None of you are very technically sound if you are running Windows 8 as your primary OS. Load it up in a VM if you want to use/test it.

Thats what I think using a Beta OS as main is pretty stupid, its beta for a reason a critical flaw could pop up and crash your computer

It could, that's part of the fun!
But if you don't use it as your main OS how are you going to thoroughly test it!
