True, my graphics are also messed up when playing this game on windows 8. It is unplayable.

That sucks guys. My EE seems to be working thankfully. I guess the Intel HD graphics 4000 update did fix its problems, though it still has a couple of minor issues.
I guess we could go back to Windows 7 if possible, if we're able to....

SOLUTION
EE and EE AOC seems to not work on Windows 8 because of Direct X problem, being not fully compatible with Windows 8. In my case (along with many others), when the game starts, the on-screen graphics go crazy and it's hard to impossible to click on anything.
All I did to get the game to work was install the Direct X and download the latest version of Direct X, then download the latest version of CCleaner, run the cleanup and the registry cleaner about 5 times each until EVERYTHING was clean, and both games worked fine after that.
Hope that works.

Empire Earth works on windows 10 just because of the desktop view. Empire earth doesn't like the tablet view of windows 8 so all is not lost.

Long time since anyone posted here but hey its a good game!
the solution posted by e10hs:
"Guys, i'm bringing some good news...
Actually i created my account at this forums just to tell u that there is a way to fix this on windows 8:
you need to edit a registry value (winkey+r, type 'regedit' and press enter):
change:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SSSI\Empire Earth\Wait for VSync"
From 1 to 0.
Also, change
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SSSI\Empire Earth\Rasterizer Name"
to:
"Direct3D Hardware TnL" - copy the exact text wihout the "
that's it, it will work!"
I did that today and it made my game work normal and not freezing.
