Not sure what the official term for this is, but every few minutes or so AOE/ROR freezes for about 2 seconds and then starts up again. Oddly enough, this seems to be happening more after a fresh install of Win2K.
What causes this? Is it just a game bug or is it something that can be controlled? I shut off NAV autoprotect, ran AdAware--basically the only two things that would affect any serious background activity that I can think of, but it doesn't seem to help.
Thanks

Hmm, tricky.
Try disabling as many programs as you can (and maybe turn your screensaver off?). If not, try a reinstall.

I got that too, mate, its called the music change lag--all you have to do is delete all of the midi files in ur aoe folder, but beware, you will be without the cheesy midi ingame music :P
