Age of Empires 2 Issues
all you have to do to fix the color display is press the little windows flag button on your keyboard it will minimize to the windows desktop then just click back on the game and the colors should be fixed also I recommend playing on highest graphic settings too. My problem is I can't seem to get the single player mode to work tho. I have the actual game but I used a cracked version so I could play my bro. using lan on comp. upstairs idk what he did now the single player just stops working now any ideas -- Tunguska ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tunguska's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/116332.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...mes/975106.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Age of Empires 2 Issues
Vista Kid;3760390 Wrote: I love Age of Empires 2 (I own the Conquerors Expansion, Gold Edition). Only problem is that I recently got Windows Vista and have been experiencing these three problems: 1) The colors sometimes get messed up and the graphics become skewed. The most noticable example of this is when the grass becomes mixed with red blotches. 2) I'm having trouble connecting online with other players, regardless of their operating systems. My friends and I used to quickly and easily connect together but now the systems (mine and theirs) tend to crash. 3)Regular crashes about an hour or two into playing. A remedy for all or any of these problems would be greatly appreciated. i also have the same problem(i own age of empires 2 the conqurers)......i have two operating systems on my computer, 1.Windows XP 2.Windows vista i had only 95 mb of space left in my comp....i opened my XP and it crashed (blue screen)saying that the errors could be- 1.less disk space etc... so,i opened vista n cleared all my useless data....then around 2 gb was left but then too blue screen comes.... help would be really appreciated.. -- babyman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ babyman's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/122665.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...mes/975106.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Age of Empires 2 Issues
I just bought a new computer with Vista Home Premium, and I'm trying to get it to run AoEII, but after I installed it, the program would open, run for like 5 seconds, and then quit. It wouldn't let me start a single-player game or even create my own scenario. When it gets back to the Windows screen, it suggests a "solution" for why it wouldn't run, which was to try the Compatibility Pack. Tried it. Still didn't run. Tried disabling the INVIDIA display adapter. Still didn't run. Tried installing DirectX9. Still didn't run. Am I doing something wrong?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't think it's an issue with the display driver, but I could be wrong. -- trhale |

Age of Empires 2 Issues
Please help. I just want to play the game I purchased. Have Vista Ultimate, plenty of memory and speed. ATI Radeon Xpress 1150. All my drivers are up to date. The Direct X is up to date. Alt/Tab-ing used to work but no longer does. Its all "toxic waste grass" all the time now. I have Alt Tabbed I have switched from 16 to 32 bit I have run as Admin I have run in compatibility mode for XP I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice. Basically I have tried everything I have read here and any other forum I could find, and nothing as worked. Obviously this is what I get for buying a game that wasn't designed for *edit* Vista. After I bought it, I read this was a common problem and MS was not going to release a patch for it, but has anyone ever come up with anything? Any help would be appreciated. -- Frustrated Gamer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Frustrated Gamer's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/135882.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...mes/975106.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

For those of you who are having problems with the game no starting, try this. If you can make it to the menu screen, go into the options. Change the screen size to the one in the middle, I believe it is 1024 x 768. This will probably work. I believe the problems cames from the newer monitor sizes. Let me know if this works, took me 2 months to figure this out. -- jonesops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jonesops's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/163356.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-v...mes/975106.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
