Hog4PC and Windows 8.1

I cannot get Hog4PC to launch on my Windows 8.1 machine. I get the standard startup window and can launch existing or new show, but then I get stuck on the small "Hog Control System" window.
("running
launching playback process"
launching the desktop process")
The actual desktop or screens never open. All firewalls are off, only 1 LAN is enabled.

I've had it work on this computer before. It opened about 5 times without issue, then this problem started occurring. I have been unistalling and reinstalling over and over everyday for weeks without any success.

Anybody experience this? Any tips?

Thanks

  • Your problem is not a Windows problem, it's about Hog4 PC and the Windows firewall don't get along. You have to set some firewall rules by hand.
    I have that same problem at the moment, setting up a new user on a 8,1 machine, my bad luck is I had it running but do not remember the exact rules to alter any more.
    Same thing is on Windows 10, Hog4 PC also stops at the "Starting DP8..." line.
