    Hey @kaidan_trash,

    As you noted, the system requirements do specify Windows 10 as the minimum required operating system to play the game.

    Below that I'm afraid we can't guarantee how well the game may perform, or whether it would even run.

I think this thread should be focused on actually solving OPs problem the proper way (getting the game to run on 8.1) instead of talking about windows 10. I don't have the game so i can't test but where i can i'll try to help anyone whos willing to try.

I agree with you, but it seems ME:LE is 'doze 10 only.  Taken it off my Steam wishlist as a consequence.  Maybe modders will probide a shim library to get it to work on earlier versions of 'doze, but I'm absolutely not using Win10 on my network, therefore I'll stick to the original versions.
