game crashes on windows 8.1
Good day friends,
I subscribed to get some advice for running this game on my computer.
my computer has windows 8.1 pro installed.
I purchased the complete edition from steam and although the game would run fine, my computer would crash haphazardly in the middle of gameplay. monitor would go black (no signal) and i have to do a hard reset
on the computer.
then I tried locating the aoe3.exe file and trying to run it in XP compatibility mode but that did not help either.
I was wondering if anyone else have had this problem and how you solved it.
I can not install windows xp because my graphics card does not support win XP drivers (GTX 970)
Please let me know
Thanks
Aladdin

I'm pretty sure it doesn't come from your OS. I had windows 8.1 and no problem with it. Even with a cracked version it worked. Now i have windows 10 and it's still ok.

That is interesting. I never had any problems with my computer though, all other games run fine only this game crashes it.rikikipu wrote:I''m pretty sure it doesn''t come from your OS.

I have Win 8.1 and it works perfectly. Normally, Steam has set the exe to run in compatibility mode for Win XP SP3. If not, do it yourself.

Thank you for your help anyway. I am going to install a dual boot of windows 10 and 7 today, I will let you know if the results change.
when the screen becomes unresponsive (monitor tries to read signal from DVI and HDMI and still fails) that usually indicates a gpu driver crash. why it happens is beyond me.

ok. so I formatted my hard drive. installed a clean copy of windows 10. reinstalled drivers and AOE3.
I started the game and everything went smoothly. played for about an hour.
came back a few hours later: game crashed within 5 minutes in the exact same way as before. lol
I give up gg
back to rome 2

Hey guys thanks for all the help.
I wanted to let you know I solved the problem and hopefully if others have the same problem can read this post and resolve their issue.
first of all I installed windows 10 and installed the latest gpu driver.
then the vanilla worked fine but the Asian Dynasties was a pain in the neck because my screen would turn black and game would freeze and come back with a message saying "graphics driver has crashed and recovered" or something to that effect.
I looked it up and somehow this helped me fix it: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2665946
I used the manual regedit fix.

are you kidding, you still need to do manual regedit fixes on nvidia cards?
