but i cant play with my friend i cant even refund this now

[Fedomar]

both have the steam version? if so you can rollback the version to v1.10 and you have a big chance it works better for you, since the old version was working fine...

quit game, open steam, press games (top) then view games library, then right click rise of nations, properties and select the beta tab, then select v1.10.
When both do that, you both will be in the old version of steam.

Tho it doesnt work for people on xbox ofc

the 1.1 version dosnt work for him

You can try these steps... check if the game starts between each...
it is good to have steam off even from systray in between, just to make sure.

1. Have you tried updating your graphicscard driver?
2. Reinstall the visual basics files which come with the game:
default location inside 2012 and 2015 folder of:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rise of Nations\_CommonRedist\vcredist
x64 and x86 depends on your Windows installation (eg. 64-bit or not)
3. Make sure your virusscanner and/or windows firewall aint blocking the game
4. Have you tried lowering the setting of your graphics to say 1024x768?
you can change that inside the rise2.ini file, right click open with notepad
default:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Games\Rise of Nations
5. same rise2.ini file you can turn off the intro
SkipIntroMovies=1
6. press windows + e, then right click computer/this pc, select properties
advanced systems settings, click the box settings, then select "data execution prevention" tab
select turn on DEP .. except and browse to riseofnations.exe in steam folder:
default:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rise of Nations\riseofnations.exe
IF it doesnt work, set back the option to the default you had.

Hope it does any good...
If so please say which step helped... or leave a comment and we try further.

ok at 6. it said it needs to be run with active prevention so i cant add it to the list

[Fedomar]

Ok, crap that first 5 didnt work out....

7. Well guess it doesnt make a difference, but can you try to set riseofnations.exe (and patriots.exe) with admin rights?

Default install path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rise of Nations

right click both files, properties and you can select the tickbox "run this program as an administrator".
8. If that doesnt help, maybe try to set it to compatibility mode for windows xp sp3 orso.
Guess that would not do the trick, but cant think of something else at the moment.

[Dentist [2 RANG]]

admin and compatibility mode didnt help to

Hey, i have the same problem on win 10, i already tryed to instal vc reddist x 64 and 86, 2015 and 2012, it didnt work, already try to exe in compatibility mode with win xp sp 3 and didnt work too, already try to eddit the file on %appdata% / microsoft games / rise of nations / rise2.ini on different ways but didnt work too, now im trying on downgrading the version of the game and try to install in on a virtual machine with win xp, seems like at the end we ll need to refund the game lol

[PARZE]

Sorry to hear so.
At the moment i have no idea why it aint working.
If you have an old computer around, try it on that machine. I am pretty sure, it has something to do with the stuff already installed, but that sounds easier then it is... and it aint much help.

I had no idea this was an option. Thank you! This worked for me.
