Subset Games Forum

i've seen others complaining of the same on the Steam forums. Seems specific to Windows 8. I'm running WIn 8 Pro RTM, 4GB ram and an ATI Radeon HD 5700. Is this a known issue?

Have you tried the beta that is available on Steam? Cf. http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2707

Also getting this, very disappointing as I was so looking forward to playing the game.

Win 8 RTM
HD 4870
Intel i5 3570K

If there's any more information I can send to help troubleshoot this I will gladly oblige.

Note: Tried the Beta update and while it fixed the white screen the mouse lag is as bad as ever.

Rooah also contacted me via email. He was able to solve his problem simply by completely uninstalling and then reinstalling the most updated version of his video drivers. I do not know how different the Windows 8 interface is, but here are some instructions from AMD in case you need them:

Uninstall them: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pa ... ivers.aspx


Reinstall/update them for Windows 7: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pa ... dows7.aspx

I have tried removing and re-installing all gpu drivers but I'll give it another go just in case.

Some people with ATI drivers have also been able to fix FPS slowdowns by changing some settings within the CCC. For Anti-Aliasing, switch to "Standard" instead of whatever it might currently be set at. Link to an image below, he recommends "Box" but that's provided less consistent results.. feel free to try either.
