It will, but you should run it as an administrator, otherwise it will freeze up periodically. As an admin, this only happens once in a while. (Turn computer off when it does, remember anything not saved in the game will be lost). Still worth it, though.

Not sure....... I have had numerous problems with Blitzkrieg II. I have windows 7 and no problems with it.
1030777
Yes! But not all of the new Win8 functions work. Not a problem though. The game plays better on Win8 than the older platforms.

The game would intermittently freeze and at times would not respond to commands. I gave up

I have windows 7. The game will sometimes crash. Go right into the start icon.relaunch the program. It will take you where it crashed you will not lose any progress

Yes, it will run on Windows 8. To get Blitzkrieg 1 and its expansion packs running, all you have to do is go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Blitzkrieg Anthology\". Then, go to the folder called "Blitzkrieg I", and then go to the "Run" folder. Then, look for the application known as "game.exe", and then right click on it. After that, go to the Compatibility tab and click on the check box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)." Then, click on the check boxes for "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" and "Run this program as an administrator." Then, go to the "Blitzkrieg I Burning Horizon - Rolling Thunder" folder, and go to the "Run" folder, and look for the "game.exe" application, and do the same thing. Now, Blitzkrieg 2 and its expansion packs may work without any changes, but just in case, go to the "Blitzkrieg 2" folder, and go to the "bin" folder. Then, right-click on "Game.exe," and go to the Compatibility tab. After that, click on the check boxes for click on the check box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)." Then, click on the check box for "Run this program as an administrator." That's all. Thank you for your time.

It could run on Windows 7 64 bit however this product sent to me was absolute junk. It never worked. BEWARE.

I honestly don't know because I have windows 7. It does say on the box that it runs with windows 8, but I just don't personally know for sure.

Yes,it will run on 8.1. See http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/Home?Language=en-US

Yes that's what I ran it on. You may have to run it in Windows XP Compatability mode which is easy to do.
272071
Yes, it will. I had no problems running it on Windows 8, or the 8.1 upgrade either.

yes it will play on 7, 8, and 8.1 any problems with the game will not be operating system related.
1936260
Yes. My friend played it on windows 8. If any problems arise, you can always right click the game and go to "properties" and find the ability to run the game as an ealier edition of windows. Also, check out aoe2 hd. You might prefer it. Good luck.

I believe it will run on Windows 8 but you have to run it as administrator. After the program runs and loads you maybe asked if you are the administrator. If not right click on the program start icon, select security, and you can become the program administrator there. In all fairness be advised I have no experience with Windows 8 but do have some programs even on Windows Vista I run in Administer mode.

It runs on 8.1 I just played it yesterday. For games that have issues you can always right click on the .exe file and set compatibility mode to a earlier version of windows (If your using a PC).

Yes... Currently running it right now on Windows 8. I believe we are running it in XP compatibility mode. I should note that I am using a Windows 7 emulator on that computer as I have found Windows 8 not conducive to being productive. The emulator just gives me back my start menu and multiple windows on screen, but it's still Windows 8.

Yes, I can play it on Windows 8 with all the latest patches. If I remember correctly, tho', you need the origin libraries/app installed as well, but I could be wrong about that.
