Has anyone else experienced issues with minib3d and windows 8?

I've made some changes to my version, but just want to know if it works for anyone else on windows 8?

Thanks!

I don't have Windows 8 to test myself, but you can say that there is a high possibility of issue if the user has a graphics card that's a few years back (before 2011) with Windows 8.
Your users would need to install their cards' Windows 7 drivers under Windows 8 in a specific manner.

You should always have up-to-date drivers, in any case. I don't think Windows 7 should be a major concern, as according to that first link it is Windows 8 and above, having updated its display driver from 1.1 to 1.2, that produces most of these errors.

I have WIN8 and the few tests with Minib3d I ran worked fine.
