Games that work:

-Battlefield 3

-Cod black ops 2 (do not ask why i have it)

-Crysis 3

-Alan wakes

 

Games that wont work:

-Just cause

-Just cause 2

-Far cry 3

-Far cry 2

-Far cry

-Burnout paradise

 

I would love to say that "Damn you EA", but 2/3 EA games work.

I have latest non beta drivers and i am using Windows 8.

Also i have 8350@5.3Ghz, 16GB RAM and Gtx 650

i do not have 7/vista.

Obviously, otherwise how would you run them in compatibility mode. 

 

Find the shortcut or application you're trying to run. Properties > Compatibility > Under the Heading 'Compatibility Mode' tick the box 'Run this mode in compatibility mode for:' > Select Windows 7. If that doesn't work, select Vista SP3.

Try running them in compatibility mode. Right click the Exe, go to properties, then compatibility and choose Windows 7. If that doesn't work try something lower like Vista.

You can always Google each game and why its not working, e.g <GAME> crashes on startup,or wont start and so on, you'll find answers much faster than you would asking on the forum.

i have tried that, many guys have same problem, but there is no answers

Hmm, weird, can you post your pc specs? And if you are using multiple monitors try disabling them, see if that will work.

I have 2-monitors and my specs are in my post.
