Hi Mohamed,

Thank you for the reply.

I would suggest you to uninstall the game and install it in Windows 7 compatibility mode and check if the issue occurs or not.

To install the game in compatibility mode, I would suggest you to follow these steps.

a. Right-click on the setup file and select “Properties”.

c. Select “Compatibility” Tab.

d. Place a check mark next to “Run this program in Compatibility mode” and select Windows 7 from the drop down list.

e. Let the game install and then check the functionality.

Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with updated status of the issue to assist you further.
