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.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If your issue is resolved, follow the how to determine what is causing the problem section in KB article to narrow down the exact source.

  • 12.5.1 iTunes crashes when you play on AirPlay

    Hi all...

    Since the 12.5.1, update any when I play music over the airtime to one of my devices AirPlay after ten minutes or so, iTunes hangs on my iMac. I have had three accidents on three times when I played the music in this way, since the update.

    Of course, I could use some advice on how to approach this. It is even possible to go back to my old iTunes?

    Furthermore, I played music over airtime all the time before the update with iTunes ever crashing. In addition, a few anecdotes:

    • iMac is connected to an Airport Extreme via Ethernet
    • Airport Extreme is plugged into an Ethernet hub
    • The Airplay device is a Pioneer receiver, connected on the same hub Ethernet (two different Pioneer receivers in two different places)

    Hello Brent,.

    Thank you for your participation in the communities of Support from Apple.

    I see that iTunes is leaving after an update when you play songs to AirPlay devices. Let's try some troubleshooting steps to help isolate and resolve the cause of the error.

    If you haven't done so already, don't forget to restart your network devices and receivers of the AirPlay. For AirPort Extreme, I suggest a "soft reset" for now as mentioned in resetting an airport station base FAQ.

    Then try the AirPlay test in safe mode and a new account on your Mac user. The following steps can help to eliminate software conflicts in your user account and can give us an indication of the additional troubleshooting steps to try then.

    You can use this Support article as a guide to complete both of these steps-How to test one question in another user on your Mac account.

    When it comes to tests in a new user, you need to import a few songs in iTunes for testing library. Here are some links to help with the signing in music Apple or download past purchases:

    Download your latest purchases

    Turn on iCloud music library

    Best regards.

  • New Satellite L50T-A196 is overheating eapecially when you play

    Hello

    My Satellite L50T-A-196 stop only after overheating, especially when you play (for example, civilization 5 or Football manager 2014). This occurs during the use of the normal laptop.

    I'm not blocking the fans; in fact, I always lift the laptop in order to ensure that they are not blocked.

    What I ve realized that I also installed NVIDIA and Intel graphics cards, and I can't make the NVIDIA one by default. I don't know if this is related to the issue or not m.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    > What I ve realized that I also installed NVIDIA and Intel graphics cards, and I can't make the NVIDIA the default

    It's very easy.
    Right click on the desktop and select Nvidia Control Panel
    In Nvidia Control Panel on the left choose 3D-> set PhysX configuration settings

    Now in the main window, select a PhysX processor you can choose between Nvidia Gforce, Intel GPU (part of the CPU) or Auto Select.
    In case you want to use only nVidia GPU, choose Nvidia Gforce
    In case you want to use only Intel GPU, choose CPU
    Apply the settings

    Then click on manage 3D settings and here in the main window, you will see two tabs: global settings and the settings of the program.
    In the global settings tab, you can choose the favorite graphics processor.
    In the program settings tab, you can choose the GPU for a single application. For example, you can choose the GPU to be used while playing a special match.

    Hope this helps to choose the right GPU and to avoid overheating.

  • Problems of keyb/mouse on A30 - 921 reactions when you play

    OK, pretty much since I have received this laptop I had a problem with the keyboard or mouse when you play. Everything works very well, and adults in general unless you're gaming.

    The keys in the game (say HL, HL2, Quake II, GTA, etc) are used to 'paste' in a direction for a second or more, or they have a slow reaction, as with mouse clicks. You could be market forward on the left and then hit to walk upright, but he would continue to walk forward and left for an extra second or two and then go right. I formatted the computer with the recovery disc and the error remained. I then formatted with my own clean copy of XP pro and the problem is STILL there, it must be linked to the material and not related to the software. I even tried an external USB keyboard and he did the same thing.

    I have a feeling that its to do with the use of RAM or CPU, but can't be sure. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A30-921, and the shared video memory chip RAM - the video is an ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility. You can choose to use 64 MB of RAM or 128 MB of RAM, the two are still the problem.

    I am at my wits end with this, because the problem causes a lot of grief when playin fast movement of the FPS. I tried to email Toshiba and they just told me to ring customers, and I don't think they won't be of any help. Its really annoyin me since I've had this laptop partly for the reason of the game.

    If someone has an idea, it would be much appreciated.

    Specification of the laptop:
    Toshiba Satellite A30 921
    Intel Pentium 2.8 GHz processor
    512 MB OF RAM
    ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility (UMB shared 64 MB or 128 MB)
    40 GB HARD drive
    FireWire/LAN etc.

    Thanks for any help guys.

    Hello

    I asked my friend on his opinion because he is a maniac in the game what he thinks about. This laptop you is certainly not a game machine, he said. You must set the graphics settings. HL and Quake II should in his work but HL 2 has to complex graphic applications and it will not work properly.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio X 500 - blue screen or system crash when you play

    I have problems with my new laptop.
    The laptop is a week and I get frequent blue screen errors and system crashes when you play.
    At this time I only tried to play a game: World of Warcraft.

    I have run on:
    The original that came pre-installed graphic drivers.
    The latest updated drivers from the Web from Toshiba site.
    The latest drivers for laptop on the Nvidia site.
    I also removed all the drivers and allowed Windows update to find it's own who have a different version again.

    In these four cases, drivers seem to work fine for a while, but will eventually stop responding and the system crash when I start to play a game.
    It happens shortly after the start of a game and other times it can happen after a few hours of game play.
    Sometimes it will result in a blue screen, sometimes the game will change from windows with the error message on the display driver does not.

    I also did a clean installation using my own copy of Windows 7 with the amount of the absolute minimum of software installed to rule anything that might cause a conflict which was preinstalled.

    I also tried to run to run the game in compatibility mode, although I had no problem with my laptop last run the game in Windows 7.

    The windows event log always indicates a problem with the graphics.

    Did someone else has similar problems or found a solution?
    For a laptop that is announced for the game, I would have thought that this kind of thing would not be a problem.

    Hey,.

    In my opinion, it has something to do with the display driver or the graphics card itself I always use the most recent display of the official website of Toshiba (NOT nvVidia) driver because they are pre-tested. If you install the latest driver from Toshiba.

    After this also make sure that you use the latest version of the BIOS. You can download on the official website of Toshiba too.

    I put t know how long you have your laptop, but it should be cleaned from time to time (3-4 months). Therefore, you can use jet of compressed air to blow off the dust.

    Check it!

  • All computer crashes when you play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (Blue Blue without seeing screen?)

    When you play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 , my laptop Toshiba Satellite A215-4757 freezes (sometimes after about half an hour, or sometimes less than 5 minutes).  The game has worked until I upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (earlier version of windows: Vista Home Premium 32-bit .)  As far as I know, all my drivers are updated and regular, programs such as Firefox and Outlook will work perfectly.  I'm not sure my other full-screen games, as I have not tried to play them again.

    I have the game in compatibility mode for XP SP2, but before that I did, the same error occurred.

    The error when I finally force close and turn on the computer named blue screen (although when the computer froze, there was no blue screen, just the image of the frozen game, and the sound was still running like nothing happened.)  I don't remember the other information contained in the error.

    Chronology of the error:

    • I opened the game and it loads fine.
    • I go through the menus and select the park that I want to play and it loads fine.
    • I'll be working or seeking / everything I do at the Park, when suddenly it freezes.
    • I turned off the computer and turn it back on.
    • Startup takes a little longer than normal.
    • Windows opens the error message (which I don't remember the details.)

    More precisely what I mean by freeze (obvious, maybe, but just try to be specific as possible):

    • No mice.
    • Without ctrl alt del ability.
    • No capacity alt tab.
    • No windows key capability.
    • Necessary to force to stop with the button on the computer.

    Any suggestions?  Also, I'm not sure what other information you need to know, so if there are more details, just ask.

    Thank you.

    Hello coasterfreak220,

    Unfortunately, Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 is not compatible with Windows 7. You must have the Windows xp mode in order to install and run it.
