Yes, it is possible.

Previously, using Windows 7 and later versions caused issues with Warcraft 3, especially after upgrading to Windows 8.1. The problem seemed linked to lingering settings from the older OS rather than just a single game. Reverting to XP compatibility mode helped temporarily, suggesting the core issue was rooted in the initial Windows configuration.

It seems some drivers became upset without any clear reason. I’m familiar with how SimCity 4 behaves, but generally it works well on Windows 8.1—though the terrain often fails to load and it can crash frequently.

Interestingly, after enabling Win 7 compatibility mode through the settings, the application functions properly. It seems the issue isn't related to any hardware problem.

The game might be attempting to access a DLL that is still under development and not yet available for use.

It seems to be functioning now. It felt like a piece of me was missing before, but it’s back.

Interestingly, it used to ignore GPU utilization completely—now it does register it.

When it occurs again, consider testing it in a virtual environment. By the point games become too outdated for Windows, the hardware should be capable of running it in a virtual setup.

It's a 2002 title lacking compatibility with Vista. It seems to be Windows 8.1 rather than something older, as 7 and XP felt similar while 8.1 offers different features.
