Which Versions do you have crack, original or steam?
With CD and Crack, it can happen that Twc doesn't get recognized properly. A reinstall of all three games might fix that.
Like harcha said install the original first then twc and last tad.

You want to install TWC before you install TAD. However if you get the complete collection (steam or DVD), there shouldn't be this problem.

I know that there was one pirated rip which installed a sort of complete game but had this problem.

Yeah, the game is also currently on a -75% sale on Steam, so you might want to take advantage of that @kia_wp . Steam installation would fix your issue and you could create an ESO account to play multiplayer properly.

Yes but I understand if people wanna wait now. Probably best to save your money now and buy the definitive edition once it's out.

I think that makes less sense than it seems at first. You'll likely get a discount for owning regular AoE3 on Steam, so it's basically a freebie to buy it on sale now.

I don't think they will give you a discount. There was a discount with Age of Empires 2 but there was already a remaster from 2013. So they probably felt bad about selling you the same games three times. Remember there was no discount for Age of Empires 2 HD. Though would've been hard to control who already owned Age of Empires 2 because there was no steam version. Well we will see. Would be nice for sure.
