AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

After I installed Service Pack 1 my crashing issues went away.

I also installed Start8 to bring a start menu back.

I really prefer 8 to 7 now.

I'm running C3D 2013 SP1 on Win 8 with no major issues (so far). My computer is a 5+ year-old Core 2 Duo 6400 with 2GB of RAM, and Windows 8 (32 bit) and Civil 3D both run great. I upgraded from XP, so going to Win 7 is not really an option. I've been running Win 8 since September, and upgraded to the final version the day it was released. Windows 8 boots up and runs significantly faster than XP ever did on this machine. No way would I go back to XP. BTW, I second the recommendation for Start 8. Best five bucks I've spent in a long time.

Widows 8 x64 + Civil 3D 2012 = no work.

As long as I am using it as AutoCAD, it works fine.

As soon as I start thinking about creating an alignment, crash. Haven't tried anything else.

Then I discovered this topic, so at least I am not thinking about smashing my compiter anymore

Btw, my system is:

AMD A10-4600M with Radeon HD Graphics @ 2.30 GHz

8 GB of RAM

x64 Windows 8

Very dissapointed.

I saw one guy mentioning C 3D 2013 working good on Win 8.

Anybody else with positive experience on that?

autodesk never said civil 3d was compatible with windows 8

[#5]

As this thread has pretty much pointed out:

C3D 2012 & Win8 = not stable & no support

C3D 2013 w/o SP1 & Win8 = iffy & no support (some seem to not be having a problem)

C3D 2013 w/ SP1 & Win8 = works & no support

I've found that the most issues I have with windows 8 and C3D 2013 is working with profiles & pipe networks.

Luckily if I'm going to be worikng on profiles I reboot to a different HD with win 7 loaded.

I've got the same pbromlems. Autodesk Civil 3D 2013 (on Windows 8) is working normally like Autocad. But doesn't work at all with Alignmen, Surfaces etc...

And I think there is only one solution for this problem - uninstalling  Windows 8.

Sad but...

[#8]

This topic has been discussed ad nauseum - but to reiterate: at this time no version of Civil 3D IS SUPPORTED UNDER WINDOWS 8

Can we please draw a line under this topic now......

[#9]

I got it, Windows 8 isn't supported nowadays, but my question is... does anybody know when it's going to be supported? I need this program to an University's subject... so I need it quickly.

But I can't understand why it works in some computers and doesn't works in others. What does it depends?

[#10]

I have no problems on Windows 8 with the majority of what I do.

Profiles, Pipe Networks, Sections are where my problems occur.

I just reboot to a secondary HD with win 7 installed any time I

have to do the above.

HTH

Edit: Profiles work ok. Just did some last night
