Overview
I create this guide mainly for those users who use Windows 8 and want to play this game, from my experience I can tell you that the game dont run in Windows 8, or at least some users, incluide me around the internet cant run it in this OS. I dont understand really the problem but I read that was because of the new patch who EA develop for the game. Some users tell that the game was running well in the original version without the new patch and i read too that EA end the work with this game and apparently they stop the work in the series. Hope EA make a fix soon for this OS.My fix was the following, if you are not sure… DONT DO IT!1.- I was bored of try everything to run it. I almost bought Win 7 only for run this cool game but I was watching the library and I saw… “CD KEY” in the right side of the screen, so I go to google for search about that and I found that the game can be activated in the Sims page and it gives a copy of Sims Medieval to your Origin Account aswell, so i say, why not.2.- I went to the Sims page, next I enter my acc and next I register the game, i recieve the game in Origin, I was like, awesome!3.- Finally in the Origin account, I start to install the game but I deactivate the option for Automatic Udaptes as I read that the latest udapte doesnt run with Win 8… so all well. Finally after a while and some water, the installation and the download finished… I press in play button and the game runs!, all cool.I just dont know if you would need the key soon for something in STEAM. Im not really sure, I just try this and work, but im not sure if this steps are well or maybe if you do this, now in Steam would be unplayable like with Crysis 2 (If you put your CD key in Origin, a friend tell me that you cant play it in Steam because the key now will be redeemed). Im not sure if this have consequences but I just wanted to play this game and this process works.Hope this guide help to you and if you know something that this guide miss, or something, tell to me!If you found that this guide is not helpful and you know that maybe its a bad process, or you know some bad consequences this can brings or maybe im totally wrong with this process and i just mess my game and my key, please tell me, give me a warning or something here.Sorry for my bad english, im still learning this language but hope my write is understanding.Best Regards for all!
