Week 7 - Problems encountered with Crysis

Below are a few images of problems we encountered when trying to debug our code. We thought it might be user access issues so we ran it in Administrator mode and changed our security settings around but unfortunately we were still encountering the same problem. We also thought it might be an issue due to the fact my laptop was running Windows 8 therefore I changed the compatibility to Windows 7 and we are still getting the errors. After all these issues we went back to basics and double checked all our paths for the editor in properties > debugging. After about a week of having errors. 

"Unfortunately CryEngine doesn't officially support Windows 8. The reason for this is that Windows 8 has differently-named and / or differently-functioning DLLs to Windows 7, so when CryEngine goes to find a DLL it needs and crashes, the DLL in question is either not there (as is the case here) or doesn't function the way CryEngine thinks it should (this is usually the case when you get a stack trace when crashing). From what I understand, you'll need to manually put copies of each DLL CryEngine says is missing into the Bin32 folder. That should let it compile." Steve
