I also got a few bugs when I recently reloaded the game onto my Windows 7 laptop to play some multiplayer. But it was still playable, so I didn't bother looking to see if there were any fixes.

What do you expect from a game that was designed for Vista and GFWL.

There's 2 ways to fix that but was OS specific to XP and Vista as far as I know. You might be screwed for 8.1 though as there's no known public patch yet.
