I can't seem to join games with my friends even though we all used the same installer and patcher and have no issues playing TAD on ESO.

[CelticCrusader]

Ok so when your on ESO does it say crc mismatch ? Or some other error ?

[Sonicrida]

No, it does not say mismatch. I just can't join a lobby with them it tries to join and just hangs there. Could it be a port issue even though I don't have ESO issues with vanilla age?

[CelticCrusader]

There is setion on fixing ftj in this guide http://eso-community.net/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1161

It may solve the issue. I find this strange as you have no problems with TAD. Can you host games and can other people join you ?

the updater seems to be semi broken, the primary source cant be fetched, alternate source still works though

The updater was updated itself. Delete your updater and download the latest updater here http://aoe3wol.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=171
The website has just recently moved to a new domain too.

Hi there, I just tried downloading this mod today. When I try to launch the game, it comes up with the Wars of Liberty logo, and a message box appears that says "Initialization failed." Any tips for fixing this? I'd really like to give this mod a try.

Maybe first check that windows defender or any other anti virus system you have allows the game. Sometimes they can block things for no reason. If that is not the issue then maybe there is a problem with your installation. Sometimes a fresh install of the mod does the trick. Sorry for the extremly late reply, I havent been active the past few months at all.

Uh I got this message;

:"the selected instillation directory does not contain a valid AoE3:TAD Instillation
and the installer could not detect an AOE3 instillation automatically." Then; "please select a different path".

I don't know what that means. I use a 64 bit Windows operating system and have all AOE3 expansions installed. Should I uninstall/reinstall everything?

Also, I have the disc version of AOEIII, not the Steam one.

Basicly all you ahve to do is select the foler where your Age3Y.exe is located.
Before Installing WOL you have to start the Asian dynasties " Age3y.exe" atleast once.

Thanks Dr. Maxy! I managed to get it working!

I installed wars of liberty today and clicked the updater as usual.
When it was installing update 6 i think, it says: "The updater has failed to download update #6. Do you want to try again?"
Also Avast antivirus detected URL:Blacklist to one of the updates, i guess it has to do something with it?

Same with mine. It fiddled with some faction skins.
