Thanks aoe_scout. I tried that but it did not work for me since I want to hear AOE tracks while playing AOE. RoR tracks still play even when the midi files are renamed with x in the front of it.

Hey so I found my original copy of the game (not gold or RoR)and decided to install it. It works fine up to the point where it tries to start a new game, then it's just stuck on 'Starting a new game' and I need to force shut down my laptop. I tried running in compatibility mode for windows 95/98, running as administrator and also tried the 1.1b and 1.1c patches on this website but it keeps freezing there. Any help?

It appears that it is just Random/Death Match. Custom scenarios Campaign and custom scenarios work fine, and scenario editor also loads but can't save scenarios. Apparantly I don't have enough free disc space?

Hi, big fan of the game and been doing some research on how to update the population limit. I have gone through the site and been directed to the upatch page to download the patch but having some problems. I have followed the prompts on the download page and downloaded the patch. The download comes up as a zip file and when i click on it my computer cannot recognise it. Can someone please give me a simple, easy step by step process on how to do the age of empires ror pop patch? Not really up to date with doing this sort of stuff and found website little bit confusing
Thanks
Nick

Hi I tried this, no luck with changing the limit. I ran administrator as my computer is newer. I think the patch may have worked as i now can play random maps, but i do not know how to change population. The file downloaded comes up as a zip file but my computer does not recognise it. What is the next step you do after you download the population mod? I see people talking about going onto a mod directory but i cannot find where that is. Would me playing the game on a disc have anything to do with my problems
Thanks Nick

I have a new entry that might belong in these FAQs as Windows 10 gets more popular.
Apparently by default in Windows 10, at least from the so called Creators Update (aka. build 15063) onward, DirectPlay is disabled by default on a fresh install. You can enable it in Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows Features On or Off > Legacy Components > DirectPlay
Without DirectPlay enabled in Windows you can encounter errors like "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000022)" or "The ordinal 4 could not be located in the dynamic link library"
aoe_scout, perhaps you can even implement the activation of DirectPlay in the next version of the UPatch HD installer, supposedly it should be possible for installers to request features to be enabled.

Well although aoe_scout may show up, I'd recommend to contact him in his site with these recommendations, maybe he would do something about them.

Thanks! I added this info to the help section of my site. But usually when DirectPlay is missing and you try to run the game, Windows automatically asks you to enable DirectPlay (at least that's what happened before Creator's Update). Anyway, I will see if I can add some check in the installer or something.

Hey Everyone,
I just downloaded my game again. I haven't played in probably 7 years.
Problem is. On my newer computers (i'm on a lenova yoga 3) as opposed to a SUPER old Windows 2000 machine,
All the fonts are showing up as ?????'s like the main menu. is 5 rows of ???????'s in boxes...
What can be done about this?

Not that its an official document, but I included an "AOE ROR Reference" file with the 5thLegacy mod (in the extras folder). It gives a better idea of what each civs bonuses actually do (yes, I did the math). I did notice a few issues regarding the "good" units that some civs get, but the bonuses should be correct as of RoR 1.0.
