Age of Empires 2 no longer compatible?
I've been searching google for the last few hours and have come up with nothing as to why AOE2 no longer works with windows.
Here's what happens.
My friends and I select TCP/IP (the non-LAN one) and I host. My friends can see my game but when they try to connect, it always gives them an "Unable to join game". When they try to host, same result. I know my ports are forwarded, I've got the DMZ set to my computer. My firewall is off. Why can't I connect to my friends?
From my research it seems to be exclusive to Windows 7. Windows XP machines can play the game(lost) between each other. One of my friends is using Windows XP, one of them is using Windows Vista and the other two are using Windows 7. We're all pissed that this game isn't working. Also, from my research every post I've read anywhere was never successfully answered. I intend to, hopefully, fix that with this thread.
Would it be best if I somehow call their tech support? It pisses me off that this old, great classic won't work with my computer, and it is still being sold in stores, but Ensemble Studios was disbanded!
