It would make sense if it only extended to mods and tools but it has been stated by other people and more Tec savvy people that not all programs that run on windows 7 will run on windows 8.  Other people from business have said stuff that ran fine on windows 7 does not run on windows 8.

What you say would make sense if it were not the case that such issues only happen to a certain few people and not every user.
There must be something else specific to this case.
By the way, I am one of those savvy people, and of course not always all programs that run on WinY will run on WinX. It happens with every release.
But overtime (mostly even before WinX release) third party software gets updated to support the new Windows release.
Anyway that's usually just a tiny fraction of software, and the even more tiny fraction of software that doesn't get updated... the company behind won't usually accept its blame.

This is not a case of "it crashes at start-up" or "it doesn't run properly", it is a case of just some few people having problems with
some third party software that most other people run without any problem at all in the same OS.

Look, I am telling you all this because I have plenty experience with this kind of problems.
In this case it's just hard to fix a problem when you can't experience it or there is not enough information or can't access the affected system.

Sorry I could not be of more help. Good luck, or simply go back to Windows 7 which is a great OS and a perfectly valid option too. :-)  For now...
 
I hope windows 10 brings back the compatibility but if not may just have to use virtualbox as I cannot get the iso I got to work even when I follow all steps.  I can play ff7 with mods fine that are not used on windows 8 so I'll be doing my editing in virtualbox and playing regular after.
 
i have windows 8.1 and the only issue with gaming is only with Megaman X4 being slow in full screen. ff7 pc with and without mods i havent had any issues with so far
 
FF7 works fine. The issues come in many older modding tools. Most of them could probably be updated to work correctly, but probably won't be.
 
Like I said currently makou will not support the model portion.  I would have to edit every field by hand again.
 
hey

7th Heaven does not want to work on my windows 8.1 desktop computer at all

everytime i start up ff7 on it, it goes to a black screen all day

That looks like a bug in Makou Reactor code. Please inform its developer about it.

Again: inform its developer about its bug.

People! Don't forget to give developers as much information as possible!
As a developer myself (currently not related to the hacking/modding scene), I give great value to bug reports with as much relevant information as possible.
