Hi there, I hope someone can help us with this issue. It's something that happens often, but not all the time.
We play multiplayer (2 humans, same team, 2 computer players on the same team too), connecting wirelessly to each other (but it's not AoE online, and we play the first version of the game, gold edition, patch 1.0c). At about the time we reach the iron age or a bit earlier, the game freezes: we can still here the music, and sounds, and when we click somewhere, it makes the usual sound for that action. But nothing moves anymore.
We play on windows, one of us XP the other windows 7; the windows 7 computer runs the CD. We dutifully switch off our windows firewalls, and make sure our anti-virus fire-wall has added AoE as exception.
Also, once one of us quits, the other one regains control (so I guess if there was a way for the other player to re-enter the game that would be a great hack I'd love to know ;-).
Thanks in advance for your help :-)
