DrMonaLisa: If you have problems with Empire Earth 1 on Windows 8 / 8.1, please check out this guide:Hopefully it help you to solve all the problems with the game. FWIW I had the horrible screen glitch issue and none of the fixes in the above link worked for me. And a few days ago, I did fix it at last, and it was by accident while trying to fix some other thing with my drivers. Sorry for the long post but I've been through a lot with this issue and I feel the more information the better.I have an Asus N750JK laptop with Windows 8.1, a NVidia GTX850 and an Intel HD 4600. Both graphic drivers were apparently updated to the last version, or at least that is what both the Windows device manager and the Asus product page said.If you go to my specific laptop model page in Asus (N750JK), they say my latest Intel HD drivers are V10.01 (Updated 2014/07/04), BUT if you go to this other page:there is another version of the Intel HD driver, Version V10.01 (Updated 2015.02.03). Now, all I did was uninstall the old driver and install the new one.
Then run the game using the Intel GPU (not the NVidia one) and there you go: the game runs flawlessly without any video tearing or weird screen stuff at all.Notice that I had to use these specific drivers because Asus laptops apparently need custom Intel drivers provided by the vendor, and indeed I wasn't able to install the Microsoft generic driver, it didn't let me and redirected me to the Asus website instead. But I guess the version numbers are right whatever the specific 'flavor' of the driver installer.That is all, I hope this helps some of you.

But I guess the version numbers are right whatever the specific 'flavor' of the driver installer.That is all, I hope this helps some of you. Can you tell me how you did that step by step. I had a problem with both Empire Earth and Empire Earth Art of Conquest in Windows 7 Pro. Both games had no text and Art of Conquest artifacted (bad graphic glitches).
I have a Geforce 780ti. Down load a program Called DDU version 17.0.6.6. It uninstalls all the drivers for your GPU. Download the latest drivers from your GPU site (I think this might work for AMD also and put them on your desktop.
Download the patch from NEO-EE to play on line. Uninstall and reinstall the games (or just EE) ( with any update patches from Sierra). Install the NEO-EE patch. Uninstall your GPU drivers with DDU. 6.Reinstall your GPU drivers from your desk top.
Empire Earth and Empire Earth Art of Conquest will work perfectly. If you reinstall the games and uninstall and reinstall the drivers for you GPU and then the NEO-EE patch it will revert the games back to the problem you had in the first place, you must install the NEO-EE patch after reinstalling the game or games before uninstalling and reinstalling your GPU drivers.
You can try this method on 8, and 10 it might work. This method did not work for winxp home as far as Empire Earth Art of Conquest was concerned.
Empire Earth worked fine in WinXP without this method. Riekopo: Where exactly do you install this patch? The installer says the game is not detected. I installed the patch manually, but I'm not sure if I did it right. The game still didn't work though. I need assistance. It is probably too late for you but I found the solution, you need to place the NEO-EE.msi file into your empire earth repository.
If you have the gold edition from gog, you need to place it inside empire earth gold edition (in your gog library). It is the folder where you can see two subfolders: EE and EE AoC. I did a bit of digging and here's what I found:The NeoEE.msi contains a binary called PAYLOAD (.exe):PAYLOAD (.exe)SHA256: 19943fe1b6d22d2b585d130da4808ee82485f41b96a76a69ccd3fb2c5847012dVirusTotal: Detection ratio: 39/68Digging more into that PAYLOAD exe, it contains more files, one of them being 'New Project.res' which is really a 7zip file. There are many files inside this 'New Project.res' 7zip file, but the interesting one is authtools.exe.Authtools.exe seems to be considered bad because it tries to connect to VBOXSVRdotovhdotnet which is considered a malicious site according to some. See here (bah, I'm not allowed to post links): threatcrowddotorgslashdomain.php?domain=vboxsvrdotovhdotnet as this site says 'Most users have voted this as MALICIOUS'VirusTotal shows a bunch of.exe with porn filenames (example: WhateverPorn.mpg.exe) that also connect to VBOXSVR.ovh.net.So as much as I'd like to play Empire Earth online with friends, I can't trust this. If the author can explain why this tool is needed, or better yet, remove it, then I think the anti-virus community might not see this installer as bad.

Art Of Conquest Guide
Work on Art of Conquest began in early 2002, with a planned release date later that same year. The developers decided 'the game won't be present at, because of the tight development schedule and the fact that Sierra didn't want the developers to be distracted by creating an E3 demo.' Beta testing for Art of Conquest began on August 5, 2002, and consisted of a single multiplayer map that could be played through all 15 of the expansion pack's ages, allowing players to try out all the new features of the game. Art of Conquest was included in the release of the Empire Earth Gold Edition, which was a re-release of both Empire Earth and Art of Conquest.

Reception. Review scores PublicationScore7.8 of 104.5 of 55.2 of 1085%The overall reception of Art of Conquest was lukewarm. Averaged it at 66%, and averaged it slightly lower, at 63%. IGN, who gave it a 7.8 out of 10, stated 'While it's a solid game, there's just not enough here to compel me to reawaken the substantial addiction the first game generated.
Whether or not it's worth it for you to pick this one up depends almost entirely on how much you enjoyed the original game. With so few significant changes it plays almost exactly the same. For those who couldn't get enough of Empire Earth, the expansion should be a perfect fit. Just don't expect the breadth and scope of the first game.' Finally, GameSpot gave it a 5.2 out of 10, and said 'Ultimately, The Art of Conquest doesn't add enough to make much of a difference.'
A notable criticism from GameSpot was regarding the way Space was implemented in the game. Spaceships were only available on certain maps and the gameplay was very similar to water—a dock-type building is built and spaceships travel much like naval ships. Other reviewers found fault with the game's price of 30 USD.
The IGN reviewer said 'I like Art of Conquest enough but it just falls short of being worth the $30 price tag.' Art of Conquest's music was never released as a soundtrack CD, but the music in the game received critical approval, receiving 7 out of 10 from GameSpot. Described the sound as 'convincing enough, with realistic battle noises throughout the game's various ages.
Each type of attack makes a particular sound and, after a while, you can develop a good sense of the scope of a given battle just by listening to it'. IGN gave the sound 7 out of 10 overall, but did have some criticism, remarking that 'A few glitches detract from an otherwise sufficient soundtrack. Voices are decent and the music is good. On Monday November 3, 2008, at 7pm GMT, the WON servers, dedicated to the Empire Earth and Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest online game-play system, were permanently shut down by Activision.In France, the game sold 50,000 units by March 2005.
