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

8.1 here, updated from 8.

Every other game runs perfet smooth maxed out.

Come on, should we now downgrade pcs, mess up our rigs because this developer IS NOT ABLE to do its super-well payed work?

    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!

      XP stable??????

      The most unstable messed up OS ever, after Win98.

      So EA sells full price games that cannot be played anymore on modern rigs.

      THIS IS FRAUD

        Never had a problem with XP and even all the microsoft tecs love XP. Your the first person I have encountered that had XP issues.

        No the game right now is only supported by XP,Vista and windows 7. Says so on the web. They are working on trying to make it work for 8 and 8.1. People need to check the specs of the game before buying. I bought the game originally and played on windows 7. Now that I have windows 8 I am doing the best I can to make the game work but I can't blame EA for it since the game was not made for windows 8.
