CursorFX 4 and Windows 8.1

from Stardock Forums

so I just saw that CFX4 is only supported on 10 and 7, did something weird happen in 8(.1) that causes it not to work there?

From what I see, somehow CursorFX v4 don't work in Windows 8.1. It make the Cursor become super-small.

Thank you,

thanks, also if I may ask what special has been done for high DPI support as that is a mentioned new feature on the new version, I have used this on high DPI settings for a long time and the only thing I could honestly think of for better highdpi support is vector cursors so they dont look ugly when upscaling

but it seems honestly very weird that something works in Windows 7 and 10 but not in 8

There are some scaling issues on Win8.  For that, and with the fantastically small install base for Windows 8, it was decided to not support that OS.

kinda sad, especially when CFX2 works and it kinda can scale (increase the size of the thing and/or swap to a cursor with a bigger image) and works flawlessly on 8.1 (okay animation scaling might be nice tho)
