MTW on windows 8.1

[Stazi]

Followed the link but couldn't find any patch there. Only the information about the release of it. And how dangerous is it to use it (that is if I find one)? I mean if it doesn't work, will it ruin the game completely?

When you choose "previous version" from the drop-down list Steam starts downloading the patch immediately and it takes a second or less (depending on your connection). It's a different Medieval_TW.exe (about 5 MB) so you probably didn't notice that something happened. Just try to run the game and check if it helps.

P.S. Check your PMs.
