On Windows 8, the wifi is very buggy. Your best bet is to reboot and restart the download. Then just let it run and do nothing else. After you load 8.1, it will be night and day with the wifi

I've played it on xp to 8.1 it's worked just fine. I have also played for a few years and still finding new things. Have fun !

Someone downloaded 8.1 for me and had no problem, but the fact remains than Windows 8 in any form sucks. I've had it for several months now and I still hate it. I've had every version of Windows since Win. 98, and this is the only one I've hated. Getting 8.1 does help some and so I'd say it's worth doing, but the OS is just in general a total mess, IMO.

I haven't updated to 1.1.4 yet. It is currently running at 1.1.3. If it doesn't work after update, what shall I do?

I have W8.1, have no way of knowing how it does on antiquated systems. Suggest you contact the game maker for that info.

That's exactly what I had. Nopes. It should work flawlessly. May be your download was corrupt. Did you proceed as was mentioned in the link?

AHA!! Figured out how to upgrade 7.5.0 to 7.5.1.... I had issues with ipersistfile being read only and the install crashing.THE SOLUTION: boot your PC into safe mode, use the Windows "program access and defaults" routine to do a clean removal of 7.5.0 and then WHILE STILL IN SAFE MODE, download 7.5.1 and install it. Install then works like a charm!AND 7.5.1 is also working beautifully. It is a good release!BE SURE all your music libraries and squeezeservers are updated to the SAME version, or unpredictable things can happen!

It depends if you opened the file (not extract it). I have had lots of problems with my game as well

Tried deleting non-English voices to make more space, but it didn't work for me. Still getting error messages while updating. This is a serious hardware problem (lack of sufficient memory to install updates). If it updates the map, there is no space for the application, and vice-versa. This is ridiculous!!

Make sure you run ALL the SW updates (including BIOS) and Windows updates before updating to 8.1. It will take a few reboots and rechecking updates. When you are sure you are done with all required updates, go to Windows App store and download 8.1 update (very slow) to install. It works fine if you follow this instruction posted on Samsung.

I agree with Donna. The ONLY way I could make this error go away was with the 1.5 patch. Just look for it in Google, download, and you'll be fine

What specifically are you having trouble with? I have found the game to be very playable and steam to be a good resource.

There is a Games for Windows Live update that Microsoft has available on their website. After installing the game Windows 8.1 gave me a dialog box that said there was a known comparability issue and provided the link to the download within the dialog.

I'm using windows 8.1 pro and the game performed very well no problems. I hope you enjoy the game as much as I did!!Hope this helps.

It took me several try's for the download and installation process to work properly. For some reason it almost stops downloading early or is interrupted and misses things. Colonization is downloaded first, I figure. If you delete everything and install again from Amazon it will eventually fall into place. Extremely frustrating but it will work. Amazon should let you use the same code for a few days. They let me anyway.
