OK so ive tried running AA3 without starting steam and it started up but it did ask me to start Steam! but as soon as i did it crashed.
Ive done a compatability test and run as if under windows 7 and it still crashes. but only when steam is started. I dont think the prob is a win 8 issue . and never being a fan of Steam (putting difference aside) it still does'nt bloody work.

update your drivers

[Mr Goodnight]

all up to date

[M.C. Knalletje]

Upgraded from 7 to 8 Pro as well, no problems.

that bites, did you try compatability mode

[nosajman]

Right click your game in steam and have it check your files since it's both op systems. Maybe you have anti virus or something mangling it?

[Mr Goodnight]

compatability mode ok. no viruses firewall permissions granted to steam and aa3, really bugging the crap outta me now!

[Mr Goodnight]

If I start AA3 straight from the .exe it starts but asks me to start steam and as soon as i start steam BANG!!! it crashes!

[Mr Goodnight]

OH and no probs running any other game through steam.

You need to find steam.exe and run in capable mode with window 7. Just steam tho. I know sonmething happen to me aswell.

Steam seems to like to cause issues. I wish AA never went to Steam. I know before you could download it from other websites as a standalone, but that was before I had a computer to even support it. THis is my first game I've used with Steam, but I had a friend who bought Sniper on disk, and it required Steam to play! Stupid. Why would you need Steam when you have a disc? Also seems that you got to be online to play completely solo player games unless you put Steam into offline mode and that caused some issues.
