I just moved from Windows 7 to Windows 8, but StarCraft Broodwar Original still runs slow and choppy. I suspect it's related to hardware acceleration in DX 5 because the game uses that version of Direct3D. I've installed both DX 5 and 9C, yet the performance remains the same. I don't want to revert to Windows 7 anytime soon.
