If you clic on wait, nothing happens, even if you wait many minutes. If you clic on it, another window open and tell you that AOE is not responding, asking you to wait or close program. I tried, reset, reinstall, and also some and some services ends and starts, as suggested on some forums, but none worked.Īfter starting the game, AOE III DE logo (small window) comes up, and remains on screen for ever. I have 3 PCs on which I have AOE III DE installed, and I have the same issue on all 3 PCs. That implies it's OK to install it on 2 machines, but that doesn't sound like MS.After upgrade to Windows 10 20H2, Age of Empires III Definitive Edition won't start anymore. BTW, I think Age of Kings was my favorite of the three.īTW, we could play AOM with only one machine having the CD. I had no idea this game could be run that way. Now I'll have to dig out the CD and try this on the Fedora box. Anyway the system requirements aren't very high for those games. I thought I read part of the reason was that people who played Age of Empires were most likely to play the sequels and they didn't want them to have to upgrade hardware to do it.
This is one area where Microsoft really made an effort to get high performance from older hardware. We have a more recent laptop, but the other machine is an Athlon 700MHz with a TNT2 32meg video card and Windows 98. My wife and I played all the AGE games (empires,kings,mythology) over the years. I was even able to play it with copy protection, I thought I'd need a noCD crack, but it wasn't needed. I thought my system was a bit on the low side (graphics wise) as I have a GeForce 5900, not as beefy as 6600 or 7600, not to mention any of the 6800 or 7900 series, but the game plays awesome and doesn't lag. I'm familiar with all the "network" magic to make it work behind a NAT network for direct IP connections on Windows, does Multiplayer work in Linux? I'm not too excited about this game, but I may even get it if that means me and my best buddy can play on-line. Anyone have tried this game with under wine? Anyway, so the game installed apparently "fine" and all, I was actually very surprised to see the entry movie actually play (I had never had such luck in the past with this game), however upon initializtion, there is an error about MSXML not being correctly installed. I don't own a copy of the game, but a cousin of mine said I could use his copy which he is not using for the time being to perform my tests.Īnyway, so I installed it, and after looking at some of the posts over at the AppDB on whinehq, I was kind of expecting the process to fail.
I thought to try my luck with Wine and Age of Mythology (as a close friend of mine has been insisting we have to play it on-line one of these days).
