thank you for this program, it works for me but i still have annoying problem, my screen freezes sometimes at AOC launch then I cant do anything as my mouse and keyboard still frozen so i just reboot however when it happens i can hear sounds in background and all stuff else still working, the reason is most likely my ati card 5850, my OS is Seven 64 bits, i have got some troubles with this card when i used to play AOC on XP and i had just disabled my DirectDraw to keep my game working fine.
Any suggestion please?
Regarding ATI, you may try to revert graphics drivers back to Catalyst v9.4, as that one used to work fine.
But just to let you know, there is a known bug with Windows 7 and DirectDraw games which causes them to freeze randomly, anywhere during the game (with sound still playing in the background). It can happen at the very start of the game, while some hours of playing, or not happen for months. Maybe disabling DirectDraw might help here, but it is operative system related bug, not graphics card one, and for know it can`t be completely solved.
When i clicked @ patch registry told me "successful patched" but the game didn't opened by itself, could be the reason smthing abt permissions on the OS? i mean, im new, all my life was XP whore, i don't understand much with 7, help plz.3) Click Patch, select your game executable (usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II\age2_x1\age2_x1.exe) and click Open.
can anyone confirm this?In the German community some people said Windows 7 SP1 fixes the bug.
I can confirm. When I tested AOC without SP 1, my game would often freeze/crash. Now it's stable and I haven't had a single freeze occur on me. I am a Winamp user myself.can anyone confirm this?In the German community some people said Windows 7 SP1 fixes the bug.
im still on vista basically cos of aoc. w7 freezes whole time with winamp, and i really need to play with music!
