• When you play Age of Empires II - enemies don't get a lot of resources or troops

  Hello. I've been playing Age of Empires II for years. I've seen a lot of strange things happen in the game, but it's just weird. Enemies in my game are piling up is no longer. They do gather resources, age upward and form a few units, but they seem to stop when their population is around 40. This problem has been ongoing for the past year or so. I played Age of Empires II on this same computer for so long, and I don't remember changing anything whatsoever. I even played a quick game of regicide this morning. The army combined all four of my enemies was probably about 60 units. When I landed in their territory, they sent their troops individually, not in any kind of training, kind of like when the British attack in the first scenario in the William Wallace campaign. These enemies had advanced through the ages, but they had almost nothing stronger than an England. The Koreans built two turtle ships, the Chinese have built about six Chu-Ko-Nu, but that's all.

  It gets stranger, too. My brother played on this computer several times. When he plays, he has epic battles where more than a hundred homes get involved sometimes. I played just after him. I imitated his style of play on the same exact scenario has not yet changed a single parameter. Again, it is lamentable. I tried all sorts of difficulties and still have nothing. I completely uninstalled the game (the expansion and Age of Kings) and all its software related and reinstalled. Still nothing. I tried this patch and still got the same results. Someone knows how to fix this?
  Thank you!

  I remember this question, about 6 years ago when I was actively playing the game on a daily basis. There is one thing that I can say, and is getting a mod HERE. Places like Age of Kings Heaven have very well HAVE mods. Link to mods HAVE here.

• Age of Empires 3 does not start on a vista machine, get this error "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error."

  I'm trying to play age of Empires 3 on my computer running windows vista Home premium and the program does not start. I get the error message: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error." I tried many suggestions from Microsoft (resettlement program, reinstall in safe mode, update & reinstall the drivers for my video card, the compatibility issues with vista, updating and reinstalling directx 9.0 c, install vista service packs 1 & 2) but nothing has worked so far. I was able to play the game on the same computer with windows xp installed (it's a different hard drive that is not in the computer, and everything is the same) and it worked fine. My computer is old enough, but like I said the game worked before installing vista. ASUS A7N8x deluxe, AMD Athlon xp 3200 +, ATI radeon 9600, 2 GB OCZ ram that all suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

  Hi Raygun55,

  Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!

  This problem may occur if the Microsoft DirectX file that is mentioned in the error message is damaged or is not copied correctly.

  I suggest that you copy the file manually by following the steps and check if you are able to play the game without any problems:

  Manually copy the file

  To do this on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps:

  1 insert the disc 1 CD for one of the following games into the player from the computer:

  o Age of Empires III

  o Fable: The Lost Chapters

  o Zoo Tycoon 2

  o Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends

  2. click on start to reduce this includes this image and then click Documents.

  3. Locate, and then click computer.

  4. search and then click on the CD drive.

  5. Locate and then click the following folder:

  CD player :\ DirectX9

  Note In this folder path, the CD player represents the drive letter of the CD drive.

  6 double-click on Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x86.cab, right click on d3dx9_25.dlland then click copy.

  In Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends, double click Aug2005_d3dx9_27_x64.cab right-click d3dx9_27.dlland then click copy.

  Note Use the Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x64.cab file for the x 64 version of the Windows operating system.

  7. find one or more of the following folders, depending on the games that are installed on the computer:

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft: Age of Empires III

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2

  By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise of legends

  Note In these folder paths, drive represents the letter of the drive where the game is installed.

  8. right click on the folder of the game which is the part that is installed on the computer, and then click Paste.

  Note If you have installed more than one game on the computer, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other games.

  You can check the link for more information: error message when you try to start a Microsoft game: "the file d3dx9_XX. DLL was not found": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910813

  Alternatively, you can try to install the game in XP compatibility mode and check if you are able to play or not.

  Right-click on the game > click Properties > click on the Compatibility tab > select for XP compatibility mode > click OK.

  Let me know if it worked.

  Great it works.

  One sure way to test long term if you need a file/folder is to rename. Simply add any text, three or a 1a is very convenient, in front of the name of the folder to make it invalid, and if nothing goes wrong on a given period of time you can feel more at ease remove it.
  By renaming retains the file in its original location, there is no problem it astray, forgetting where he's going or remove it from the trash too early.

• Don't play age of Empires 3 on the Satellite A200-1DN

  Hello
  I have a Satellite A200-1dn with 1.5 GB of ram and an intel gma 950 / 945gm express chipset family.
  The problem is that the age of empires 3 requires a minimum of 64 MB of video ram. Mine is 32 MB.
  I've heard from the dvmt (dynamic video memory technology) and I was wondering is anyone know how to change it to the max?
  I heard that you can change CMOS, anyone know how to acess cmos? My bios version is 1.30. max dvmt may go up to 224 MB of video ram, that would be great.

  Please answer soon, thx

  Hello

  Generally, a user must read the MANUAL before asking these questions. But while you already here I can tell you how to access:

  Press F2 right after the power of the machine (when you see the toshiba logo) whereas there should be the option you want / need.

  Did you already check if you have the latest version of the bios installed? It would be a good idea to do so:

  Hope you can get more video ram, my friend :)

• Satellite Pro P200: Cannot play Age of Empires, because DirectDraw

  I just replaced my old laptop (a ps210e) with a 15th Satellite Pro P200.

  I can't my old age of Empires II game to run--the error message is "cannot initialize the graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw. »

  Google told me that there is utility to run to test this called dxdiag and I ran it and it says allowed to DirectDraw acceleration (as well as many other things).

  So, what should I do to get the Age of Empires to run?

  Moreover, is this an official forum of Toshiba to get technical support, or simply a community of user group? I couldn't find anything on the Web of Toshiba UK site actually contact the Toshiba direct technical support.

  Thank you

  Stand by. Have you Vista preinstalled Satellite Pro P200? Did you check the minimum system requirements for Age of Empires?
