Well this sucks, purchased 4 copies, One for the Wife, 2 for the kids and mine.
BOTH the kids version come up with the PopCap loading screen (in a windows) and the little flower in the corner it animates for a while and then just freezes.
If you minimize the screen window and then maximize it is just black so I suspect this is the same issues others are reporting. We updated to the very latest NVidia Drivers. (GTX 1050) but still no go. I even updated the sound driver as this is about where the audio would cut in but with no luck.
The wife's copy will not even run despite the specs saying GT 640 is good enough (just) there is no version of the driver available that is supported.
That leaves mine, my rig is running the exact same driver as the kids but on a GTX 1060 and it works. Also the kids have dual core i3 mine is a quad core i5. I could see how this could make it slower but not fail.
So im 1 for 4, not a very good success rate. It looks like all 4 will need to go back as this series has always been our family game. End of an era I guess.
Pen.
