So, I decided to try AoS on Windows 8

[Maxxis]

And the aos:// command not working.
*through I can fix that, but too manual*

Did you install it on the W8? The registry should be updated then. If not look at the registry entries in your W7 system and copy them over, that should do the trick I think.

You can launch it manually, for example in command line with "client.exe aos://12345678".
Or use one of the many launcher programs, not sure if they all use registry (mine for example uses a path, since I made it for portable use).

Kill it before it lays eggs! XP was always fine...

Yes, I do. Windows 8 Consumer Preview edition, 32bit.
Also, the commandline is working, through. I will try to find more stuff about W8 and client.exe
//registry is still there, web command aos:// not executes. *tested on IE10 + Chrome*

Was having this trouble also on Windows 8, game wouldn't launch from the aos:// links in browsers.

Copying over the registry key from windows 7 install into the 8 registry half worked. Server links now work in IE but not Chrome. (For those who wish to know, the key to export from windows 7 is under: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/aos)

Not restarted computer yet mind so maybe that'll help with Chrome (dear whatevercreator may exist I hope that fixes Chrome).

I would also post the entire text from the key here but I'm not sure how moderators would look to that one.. first post and all.. :P

Here's a quick fix:
Use Windows+R (open Run dialog), paste the aos:// link.
it works!

For me the game runs with extreme lag...
Does anyone know a fix

I'm getting the same, game is playable but there is certainly lag in general (computer wise not the dreaded network lag :P) compared to same machine with windows 7.

Awesome! Thanks for that, so much easier now and no longer need to use IE :D

I still love my XP...
But that goddamn Service Pack 3 is not compatible with my rig...Damnit!

Also, I heard that after Windows some new family of systems comes...I can't remember what it will be called like, though.

I bet it will be called Doors.
