I'm trying to play Fallen Earth but,it keeps acting up and crashing. I don't think it can run on Windows 8. If someone could help me solve this problem it would be GREATLY appreciated!

If you go into your SteamApps folder and right click on the .exe file, you can run it in compatibility mode for any OS.

When i go into the game folder there is no .exe file, but that's the only game without one, all my other games have one. should i re-install the game?

First off, which game is it? Secondly, Make sure you're in the folder Steam > Steamapps > Common > "Game name" > Right click the application file and set the compatibility mode. All steam games come with this file.
