Blitz3D mouse touch screen error

Community Forums/General Help/Blitz3D mouse touch screen error

Trying to run Blitz3D on a win8 tablet
but get mouse exec error every time
whether the program refers to the mouse
or not. Anyone know a work around for touch
screen compliance, I know dev is stopped on Blitz3D
but an update to make it touch screen compatible
would be most welcome.

Thanks

FWIW: B3D has had a known issue the old XP tablets for many years as well, and for that the "fix" was to turn off pen/touchscreen support to get it to run.

Given how long that problem has existed, I'd doubt a quick fix...

Thanks.
Turning off the touchscreen is definitely not a consideration(though I DO appreciate your input)
I took back the offending Tablet(Acer W3 8")and got 11.6" touchscreen netbook instead which also has a touchpad that functions as a mouse.
I'll install Blitz in a bit and let you know if it works. I'm assuming it will in this case.
EDIT: Of course it works.
If easy enough to remedy with a patch it might make Blitz3D a more attractive choice for the mouseless...I think we'll be seeing more
8"/7" win8 tablets.
