Game Error On Launch (Win 7 x64)
Running win7 x64.

Clicking 'play' in the Steam library window does nothing. It just says 'preparing to launch' and nothing happens.

On manually running the .exe I get, "AoEDE_S.exe - Entry Point Not Found" "The procedure entry point MFCreateDXGIDeviceManager could not be located in the dynamic link library MFPlat.DLL."

Am I missing some dependencies here...? MFPlat is the 'media foundation' for something or other, I had issues with that when I was trying to run I think it was Resident Evil 7 on Ubuntu through Lutris.

So my guess is that the game's trying to play a movie or something and it... can't do that. So the game doesn't launch.

Uh, help? I guess?

I refunded the game since I don't plan on downgrading to Windows 10 any time soon.

I encourage other users to do the same, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Anyway, bye.

There are games that still support Windows XP. And then there's this game. What a waste.

I spent hours trying to fix this. I found a Steam user with the answer that finally worked. My short video shows exactly how to do this: https://youtu.be/h1Ei5HeDx8U
