Hello everyone I'm new to the game and I tried playing online for the first time but it seems I cannot join anyone's game in the lobby. It says failed to join. I get this for everyone's game that I try to join.

Looks like you''re having a router config issue.
Check Veni''s ESO guide at the port forwarding section, that should solve your problem.

www.portforward.com. Hopefully you have a router blocking you. Sometimes apartment buildings with built in internet can make connecting to games on eso hard or impossible :(.

Musketeer925, I and others put together an AOE III FAQ but I can no longer find it on the MS site. This long thread from the old Agecomm is somewhat convoluted but it contains all of the relevant information.

There's on topic on ageheaven aswell that could work I think. It's a scary issue, because there is a chance it's borderline unfixable. Small chance though.

Getting stuck at one part and cant get past it.

I have been following this
http://portforward.com/english/routers/ ... es_III.htm

When I type in my IP address into the search it brings me to this screen
https://mediacom-prod.clearaccess.com/p ... 5933FE18C6

and the usernames and passwords listed do not work.

You need to find out what they''ve been set to for your router. In most cases, it will be written on the router somewhere.
