Does BF3 work with Windows 8?

Considering buying BF3 but does anyone play it with windows 8? Are there any problems that occur with win 8?

  • I run bf3 on win8 with no problems whatsoever.  The majority of issues people have had seem to have come from upgrading rather than opting for a clean install

    Battlefield 3 was released long before Windows 8 came out and is therefore not fully compatible yet as far as I understand it. You will however most likely be able to play it anyway although you might run into some issues including bad performance. But I think it will run it, yes, I was able to play Battlefield 2 on Vista and had a few problems, but I could play it.

    But don't take my word on it.
