SOW & 8.1

Post by Don »

I had no problem running SOW on 8.0, but with 8.1 it's a different story. I get a computer message "This app can't run on 8.1. For a version that can, see your app manufacturer." Certainly this is a problem that will be faced not only by SOW, but also by Waterloo. Is there no solution?

Without going into my intense dislike for Windows 8 and all its permutations, try downloading and re-installing SOW from scratch. Here is a something I found which I'm posting "as-is". Not sure if he's right but it's worth a shot.

Thank you very much! It was exactly the case that the SOW files from Windows 8 were corrupted. A fresh reinstall after completely dumping the old files has restored the game . Now I have only to download the mods.
