Empire Earth Gold Edition

Downloaded Does not work Disappointing

I got this some years ago when the gold edition first hit the shelves. It has surprising graphics for its age and some very unique gameplay. Most RTS games almost require that you build and attack quickly. This game seems a little more focused on building your infrastructure properly and you really get the feeling that you're at the command of an actual army. The contest is to see who can manage their army the best and make good use of tactics instead of just who can get a group of shock troops into the enemy base first. This is really a joy to play with friends over a network and can take span hours of gameplay on just one map. If you liked Age of Empires you'll love this.

Bought and tried to play what many say is the best Empire Earth. Problem is it has not aged well. Both on an AMD laptop and an IntelCPU /Nvidia GPU I get the same issue. Click and/or hotkey a building the game freezes and locks me out of the computer. It probably is just Windows 10 being Windows 10 at the moment so I am not going to harshly judge it. I hope in the future this issue will be resolved or I am just going to have to find my old Windows 7 disc and a throwaway computer to use to play this on... At least the Manual was an interesting read. TL;DR: Windows 10 users should Buy and beware. Go back to Windows 7 if you want to play this game.

I would like to give it 5 stars.. but when i start the game and let my civillians do something it freezes. is there a patch or something?

The game is wonderfull, an absolute classic BUT it doesn't run on win10!! I've tried all the tinkering with compatibility mode and all, and the game sometimes work sometimes doesn't... so I can't really play it.
