CiV compatible with Windows 8?

[Civsassin]

Does anyone know if CiV is/will be compatible with Windows 8?

They said it in a vid that they'll make it Win8/Touch screen compatible with the next patch .

I have two computers - one PC and a laptop. Neither is a touch screen, but I am considering upgrading both. Can I do that now, or do I need to wait?

You're buying Windows 8 at launch? I'm sorry...

I'm considering it. I just want to make sure I have no compatability issues before I commit.

100% works no problem. I have been running Win8Pro RTM for a few weeks on a Desktop PC with no issues play Civ V.

However, if you have Win7 and you don't have to - I would strongly suggest you stick with it. It's not worth the upgrade atm IMO.

That's good advice. Thank you. I think I will wait a few months.

It works fine for me. No compatibility issues. I play it on my Win 8 laptop all the time now.

You can run both normal or touch enabled mode for Windows 8.

No issues for me at all.

Will run for me in "compatibility" mode ... but it runs.
