Heres the solution of all problems of windows 8 !!! :)))

First you have to delete the 2 settings documents in your cossacks 2 battle for europe folder.
Then you have to change your log document to "Read-only".
And then start the game^^

which documents?

[debux]

same question: which documents? or did you mean the 2 "settings" files?

[Captain_Jozef]

I think he means the files that start with the word "settings".

"Scroll down the list of files until you find 2 files that start with "settings" in their names, Delete these files, and *ONLY* these 2 files". https://steamcommunity.com/app/4890/discussions/0/846960628380041311/?l=spanish#p2

They advice too about not use the compatibility mode. About the slow motion problem, it remembers me the old times when we migrate from ms-dos to NT and a lot of games where "reloaded" adding a ddraw.dll file (games like HOMM2, Warhammer Final Liberation, Cossacks, etc), and personally i remember a ddraw.dll file solved my slow motion problems in those 3 games i mentioned. So it means you need a ddraw.dll file. But im not a game designer, im just an old gamer, so i could be wrong, you should check by yourself in old cossacks forums, maybe youll get a light about:

Hope the info help someone. Sincerly, an old gamer...
