I knew a few people here like this game, recently I installed it again for fun out of nostalgia.
However, I ran into many problems making it run without graphics errors and couldn't get it to work fullscreen.


In my search for solutions, I came across this portable (95mb no install required) version here:
http://www.aoczone.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2993

direct link: http://veg.slutsk.net/aoe/age_of_conquerors_lite.exe


So far has zero bugs, can run in windowed mode, and allows you to get your game on.
If anyone else has the nostalgia or wants to try the game out, download that.

Love age of empires! Very Happy

If anyone has errors with graphics in game where all the colours are screwed up, oceans are bright pinks and greens etc, which seems to only happen on windows 7 and maybe vista, i found a solution. The only way to fix it that i know of is to start the game, alt-tab and open task manager then end explorer.exe they alt-tab back to the game. That will fix the colour issues. The reason this happens is windows 7 does colours differently to windows xp and earlier which is what these games were made for.

Its a pain in the ass but worth it for me because i couldn t stand playing with colours how they were.

the one i posted has none of those problems guys.
occasionally i got some lag but that's because Winamp was floating behind the windowed game, and they kinda fuck each other up if that happens, so just moved it.

I couldn't get lan to work, something about Win7 having problems connecting to XP, and the other win7 computer i dont know how its set up / whats wrong with it but cbf'd.


Wouldn't take long for people to try out seeing if internet works though. Just make sure you're both using Win 7 to avoid issues I guess.
