After almost a decade i return to this wonderful game and forum thanks to self-isolation and the sudden interest of my wife on playing aoe together. So i took the dust off my old cds and i wont say it was easy but managed to install a functional game copy in both of our Windows 10 personal computers. The problem we have been experiencing though are some large grey squares graphic glitches that appear suddenly on the screen and start expanding. The only i can see in these squares are units but no "ground" textures.
I've tried almost all possible combinations pf compatibility, screen resolution and color configuration but still happens. Im starting to believe my old cd wasnt in good shape but i find it weird its the only problem i have,besides some occasional lag. Does anyone have another solution?
Ps:I thought on downloading the upatch hd with the hope my graphic glitch gets fixed. But I'm concerned we wont be able to play multiplayer which is the main idea, or that the game experience changes too much. Any feedback on that will be most appreciated.
