Guest Budious Posted November 16, 2001 Share Posted November 16, 2001 When engaged in a large battle say maybe 50 or more troops vs 50 or more enemy troops, the game will casually crash out back to desktop. The game is no longer running in any form, no swbg.exe or whatever filename in Task Manager process tab, but the music continues to play. Additionally my desktop image looks grainy like its been converted to 16-bit colour. Sometimes this can happen 20 minutes into the game or I can fight for hours and it happens after about 1.5hrs. But overall it's a common issue on my system, as well several people I play with on the zone have this problem, we have also tried playing by IP and the same problem occurs. I have played AoK alot and do not have problems with the original game engine doing this so I think it must be something LEC did... PATCH PLEASE!. I have a dual boot system between Windows2000 SP2, DirectX 8.1 Final and Windows XP Pro. The issue occurs under both operating systems. Other people who have said they have same issue are also using Windows 98 or ME, so is anyone else having this as a common issue?

Guest rejtable Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 I had the same crash once. I had been playing for about 2 hours, and was finally about to win a game (I'm new to the AoE world). Game crashed to desktop, thanks for coming out. Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
