Try reinstalling the games. There aren't any issues I'm aware of running them on Windows 8.1 and if they aren't loading then I would first look at an issue with the game files.

windows 8 is better for gaming. Have you updated your GPU drivers? this is probably whats causing the issue.

All three , 7 , 8.1 and 10.

The OS version is not the issue, be it 7/8.1/10.

You have other issues going on.

I agree ^

these two games were installed in seperate folder program files (x86)

I've gamed on all three , with very similar results , no issues.

I've just reinstalled Windows 8.1 after a long while and all my games are working fine.
Besides, in my case at least, whenever I install another OS over some other one, I keep my games installed, I never reinstalled them. I simply make sure I install the latest video driver and all the redist files and directX 10 before I play them. It always works, no fail.

PS: I have a folder I called 'Windows Reinstall Pack' on my c:\ with all these files and all the essential ones ready to install them whenever I move to another OS, no matter which(Win7, 8.1 or 10).
