Peter1944 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Hello I just want to know how the game deals with windows 8 before i buy it. I tried downloading the demo but it didnt work on my system after reinstalling it a couple of times. Also is there a way of buying the full game + expansion packs in one? Thanks for your time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 When this question has been asked before, (prior to W8.1), people have averred that it runs fine. A recent thread makes me think the latest update borked something, but there are workarounds. To date there's no way of getting the whole CMBN family in one bundle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada Guy Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I have the entire gambit of games and Win 8 works fine. Win 8.1 borks everything. Do not update if you do not have to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSX Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have the entire gambit of games and Win 8 works fine. Win 8.1 borks everything. Do not update if you do not have to. Win 8.1 plays CM just fine, but in had to submit a ticket to have the DRM recognise it again. Win 8.1 does Bork loads of things in windows, including Microsoft products for me. Outlook and IE don't work properly, not to mention half my other programmes. I would have thought that microsoft products at least would have worked! Needless to say I haven't updated any other PC to 8.1. CMBN does work OK though, although my performance seems to have dipped slightly over win 8, especially in the larger scenarios. Not sure what's going on there. Strangely my 8 year old laptop gives decent results with the game, occasionally eclipsing my 2 year old PC. Weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Guy Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yes, I had thought that at least my MS products would work properly. I am giving myself self-exile until my class is done Dec 1st. then will look at my ticket and get things fixed up. I told my boys to hold off updating (and my oldest will not even think about moving from Win 7). What a crappy product to release though. makes me think of moving to Apple if MS does not get their act together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
