Age of Empires 2: AoC expansion

Hi ambientmf,

Yea I've tried all of those, it seemed very random at best.

The way I'm getting around this now is, once you're in game and the colours are screwed, push F10, go to options, then change the resolution to 800x600, then change it back to 1280x768. For now this seems to be working.

Also, you need to have the resolution screen from windows open too. hah.

Hello,
When I try to play the AoE with other players, somebody always loses connection. Sometimes it's another player, sometimes I fall. But the problem is when I try to play under Windows 7.
1-With some players and me under vista everything runs OK.
2-With some players without me, they can play OK.
3-With some players and me under Windows 7 we can never play.

Note> the other players always play under windows xp

The problem begins when the game starts (when the game starts on the map)

I searched in whole Internet for a solution and I found one

Go into task manager select the processes tab and end explorer.exe then alt-tab back into age of empires
Note: this will make your task bar disapear and any open folders
To restart explorer open the task manager agian in the aplications tab hit new task and type explorer in the box
The colours change because of the Aero theme's poor handling of colours


Edit:
You can also make a batch file with the following lines and place it in the same location as your age of empires 2 executable

taskkill /F /IM Explorer.exe
age2_x1.exe
Start explorer.exe

People posting fixes here are true heroes!

That's what we are for

I too had this problem, and found no acceptable solution until this morning....

Go to http://www.ageofempires2.com.br/?pag=download-aoc-janela
and click on "faça o download aqui" to download a mod. Unzip to your Age directory and launch AoC.exe.

This will run Age of Empires 2 The Conquerers in a window!

When you configured that windowed mode patch, are you able to play the game in full widescreen?

Here's the original source for that patch, btw: AoC VEG MOD 2.0beta (new: windowed mode, configs) - Age of Kings Heaven Forum
