Hi people. I have a weird problem: my Age Of Empires: The Rise of Rome crashes when I try to load a saved ramdom map game. I have the latest patch installed.
Hoping for a solution. Regards

Yeah, the patch is the issue. If there are projectiles in the air when you save the game, the game will crash when loaded. Only way to prevent it is to play unpatched, which should not be preferred.

In case you have the collectors edition of the game, you can downgrade using a custom patch I made which is available at the Granary.
It is a bit of a nuisance to downgrade the game specially if one got used to the quite useful idle villgar key (.). However it is safer this way because it is a worse nuisance to have a game crashing. It is a pity ensemble studios never fixed this issue.
