Sound Crash On Windows 8

[Charlie Love]

I've noticed a problem with this and several other Vlambeer games that use really low bit sound clips and music. It appears that Windows 8 must have dropped support as games will crash if certain sound effects are played. I've messed with Game Maker and I can prove that games will crash when true 8-bit sound effects are played (at least as far as Game Maker games are concerned).

Yeah, Hotline Miami has the same problem. That will be fixed eventually but I don't think we can expect solutions for every indie titel that is affected so let's hope for a general W8 patch.

i have the same problem

[Mallivex]

Yeah I have the same problem, game runs fine until the new enemies come in on the 4th or 5th battle then killing one plays no sound and crashes the game. Hope this is fixed soon :)

Windows 8 64 bit always crash

[TZer0]

Same here. Win 8 64 bit - crash in the exact same spot.

This game was made with Game Maker 7/8/8.1, and Windows 8 does not completely support Game Maker games made with previous versions from Game Maker Studio.

same problem here, my game crash when an enemy touches me

[Titoncio]

Maybe the game have not fully support to Windows 8. We only can cry :(

[SpeckObst]

Still not fixed. Really wanted to play it. Somebody know if at least the other games in the series run normal on win8?

[Thot]

Played Serious Sam First and Second Encounter Classic, Serious Sam 2 and Serious Sam 3 (plus Jewel of Nile) so far and it worked fine on Windows 8.
And i can confirm the problems with this title (Serious Sam Random Encounter) too. Didn't try the other titles yet though.

Isn't there any fix for this problem? I'm having the same issue with Vlambeer games and the recently acquired games at HB Mojam 2 :\

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I just bought this crap, Serious Sam Random Encounter, and it freaking crashed after playing a few rounds. . . HELP @_@
After reading the forum, I DON'T THINK THIS WORKS ON WINDOWS 8!?
SOMEONE FIX THIS GAME!?

[Cosmic-Col]

i know how u feal oi master ninja

[Dirty Johnny]

has someone tried all the compatibility modes?

[eyethree]

Let me preface this by stating that this fix seems utterly bizarre, but it worked for me:
I switched it to run in Windows 7 Compatibility mode, turned off the Steam in-game overlay, deleted my game file (although I had nothing to begin with), switched to windowed mode and did a speed run through the first area just to be past the boss.

Everything is still running fine and no crashes yet.
