Hello, I am posting this message on behalf of my 12yr old son. He has explained below the issue he is having with the game crashing. It would be great if someone could advise us how to resolve this problem. (In case it's relevant, our computer runs on Windows Home XP SP3).
I have the collectors edition of AoE/RoR and AoK/AoC. I am familiar with the crashing issue (when using the 1.0c/1.0a patches for AoE/RoR if you save a game when projectiles are flying, the game crashes when you load it)- so I tried the workaround mentioned in the FAQs but it didn't work for me (still had the same issue).
Next I downloaded the 1.0b/1.0 patches from the granary. When I tried to play a single player game in RoR I get a "you must insert a game CD to play a single player game, and then restart Age of Empires" message. I tried searching for a .ISO for the whole game using the 1.0b/1.0 patches but unfortunately I could only see it on "www.illegalfiles'R'us.com" type of sites!
So I am hoping that someone can maybe provide me with a 'legal' workaround for this problem or preferably a .ISO file or the files needed to run the 1.0b/1.0 patches or let me know where I can find such things - if such things exist
Many Thanks
