command and conquer the ultimate collections and windows 8.1

Hi

Looking at buying this but have heard of problems with windows 7 and 8.

Anyone have and experience and can say if all the games work ok?

running Windows 8.1 here, they all seem to work for me. C&C4 was a little dodgey at first, but seems ok now.

Works on windows 7 for me, some of the older games need tinkering though due to colour distortion.

How much is tinkering?

A simple patch or a lot of fafing?

I'm on win 8.1 and mate is on 7.

well at first, C&C4 wouldn't start up. I had to mess around with compatibility modes to get it to launch. Once it was launched and I set up my resolutions etc, it seemed to work ok. It did crash a few times in the graphics menu

C&C3 works fine in Windows 8 though. Not sure about the older games, although I know they work in Windows 7

On Windows 7 I kept getting CTDs with C&C3's expansion making it unplayable. I couldn't find a fix.

Ive got the ultimate collection and so far had no problems with c&c original, red alert 2, generals and red alert 3.
