uninstall the game, and make sure the game folder is empty, then reinstall and patch to the latest version and then see if that fixes it.

won't effect saves as a uninstall doesn't remove the game save folder

I uninstalled the Win 8 updates and the program works again in SP and MP. I rather now have security updates installed though. I have a good anti malware program though.

It sounds like you might need to do a video card driver update to keep up with the W8 update.

There are no updates for my video card. I guess I have a weird configuration. Anyways I put tthe graphics setting on my card from undefined to high performance and there seems to be no problem now.
Thanks guys,
