AOE3 running after exiting the game

Post by sc »

Steam version of AOE3. Running latest patch of windows 10. I've had aoe3 installed on this pc multiple times over the last 5 years, np.

Since I reinstalled 2 months ago, I've had an issue where aoe3 keeps running after exiting the game, and I have to use task manager to shut it down.

I've verified the file integrity on steam several times, each time receiving the response "1 file missing which will be reaquired". I've reinstalled a couple times and no dice.

Next plan of attack is reinstalling with a registry wipe inbetween.

Anyone ever deal with this before?
