Create a virtual machine
Windows 8 includes its own copy of Hyper-V. If you can't get tibia to function in Windows 8, you can enable Hyper-V and create a virtual machine running a legacy version of Windows as a way of running it.
Install .NET Framework 3.5
When you install Windows 8, version 4.5 of the .NET Framework is installed by default. However, older apps often require an earlier version of the .NET Framework. If you receive a .NET Framework-related error, you can go into the Control Panel, click on Programs, and choose the option to turn a Windows feature on or off. Windows will display a list of the various components you can enable or disable. One of the items on the list is .NET Framework 3.5, which also includes .NET 3.0 and 2.0. Installing this component will likely correct the issue that you are experiencing.
Let Windows troubleshoot the problem
Windows 8 includes a utility called the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter that can sometimes automatically resolve compatibility problems. You can run the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter by right-clicking on the tibia client and choosing the Troubleshoot Compatibility command from the shortcut menu.
Trick the application into thinking it is running on an earlier version of Windows
Some applications are hard-coded to look for a specific version of Windows. In these types of situations, you can configure Windows 8 to lie to the application about what version of Windows you're running. Start by running the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter (as described above). When you get to the What Problems Do You Notice screen, choose the option for programs that worked in an earlier version of Windows. After clicking Next, you will have the option of telling the utility which version of Windows tibia worked in. (i.e. win. 7).
Provide the application with extra permissions
Some legacy applications (especially those written for Windows XP) fail to run due to inadequate permissions. Once again, the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter can help. When you get to the What Problems Do You Notice screen, choose the option related to the program requiring additional permissions. As an alternative, you could try right-clicking on the application and choosing the Run As Administrator option (assuming that you have administrative permissions).
Try updating the graphics card drivers and check if it works.
Press Windows key + X and click on Device Manager.
Search for Display Adapters.
Right-click on the Graphics Card and click on Update Driver Software.
np, for anyone else that may have issues with windows 8 you can try the steps above. In this particular case troubleshooting the client seemed to auto fix it.
