@pauljazz24. This is my old computer that got ruined by the 8.1 update. I played Island Paradise on med setting, FPS never went over 40, no overheating issues, played for about 2 months before my save files got bigger and issues started. I have to say this cheaper lap top did ok considering how messed up the game is

    did your pc come with windows 8 and you switched to 8.1? It is possible that is your problem. Some people have issue with video problems changing form 8 to 8.1. I will not let my ASUS change to 8.1. --My HP got all messed up from 8 to 8.1. Why I went out to relpace my HP with a windows 8. As messed up as this game is, it played better on 8. Windows 8 from my observation is more stable than 8.1 on gaming

        I had no serious problems that could not be fixed playing this game on Windows 8. Leaving out bugs and issues EA has not fixed. Its possible the ASUS on 8.1 does not work with the game. Some computers with 8.1 work on this game and some do not. This game was made on vista. Realize that they now need to make the game work on XP ( now gone) Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and 8.1.  Years ago we all had one OS. Much easier to make a game work for only one OS. Especially games made on XP. XP was so stable!
