If you manage to bypass the launcher issues, ensure your hardware meets these minimum standards: : 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent.
: At least 1.5 GB (2.0 GB recommended for optimal performance). Hard Drive : 7.1 GB of space, plus 1 GB for saves/content.
: Even on Windows 7, you may need community-made tools like NRaas mods or Lazy Duchess's Smooth Patch to prevent the game from lagging or crashing due to its poor original optimization.
Download and apply the "Super Patch" (version 1.67) manually to ensure the game is updated without needing an online launcher.
