Ok, I want to give a bit of an update to this complaint. After more tweaking, I finally got the game to come up with more than just the box, but I'm still having issues. The links that are supposed to be in the lower left are in the upper left before I put my username and password in, then part of them jump to the lower right and the game gets a spinning wheel in the top right showing that it is trying to update. And then it stops, but doesn't give any error messages or indications on if the wheel not spinning is good or bad. I can't update the game so I can't play. I also have no way of knowing if there are some stray files that 8.1 tried to install that is preventing the game from acting properly.
