Solutions

• Q: I get an error during the installation that says: 'An error has occurred while trying to replace the existing file: DeleteFile failed; code 5. Access is denied.' or 'Error creating registry key: -//- RegCreateKeyEx failed; code 5. Access is denied.' or 'Out of system resources.'
  
• A: Reboot your PC, then start the installation again.
  
  
• Q: Nothing happens when I start the game, i.e. it crashes immediately.
  
• Q: When I enable the widescreen resolution the cmd window gets full of red messages.
  
• A: You need to install/update '.NET Framework 3.5'. On Windows 7 and later this component installs automatically, but if this didn't happen, follow the steps:
  
  
  1. Press 'Windows Logo' + 'R' keys on the keyboard.
     
  2. Type 'optionalfeatures' in the 'Run' command box and press 'ENTER'.
     
  3. Check if the '.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)' option is available in it.
     
  4. If yes, then enable it and then click on 'OK'.
     
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation and restart the computer, if prompted.

• Q: When I launch the game I get an error: '0xc0000022'.
  
• A: You need to do the same steps as in previous Q&A, but instead of the step 3 you need to check 'DirectPlay' under 'Legacy Components'.
  
  
• Q: I have a multiple monitor system and experience problems with enabling the widesceen resolution.
  
• A: Enable it through the 'Manual Mode' and enter the resolution of your primary monitor, i.e. the monitor you want to play the game on.
  
  
• Q: I’ve enabled the widescreen resolution but it doesn't seem to work in main menu.
  
• A: Custom resolution affects only the gameplay, main menu will be always in 800x600.
  
  
• Q: Why Steam Overlay doesn't show up while playing the game?
  
• A: The game uses DirectDraw for graphics rendering. Steam Overlay works only in DirectX games.
  
  
• Q: Is there a way to use the original music instead of the new one?
  
• A: The original music is a one 30 minutes music file with fixed order of tracks. Every time you will play the game, you will hear the same tracks in the same order. If your match will be more than 30 minutes, you will not hear music until the match ends. The new music is devoid of these shortcomings.
  
  
• Q: When I play vanilla game or patched, the gameplay stops/freezes, but music still continues to play. It stays like this for about 10-20 seconds then it returns to normal. It happens very often.
  
• A: If you have a CD/DVD drive, you need to insert a disk into it, no matter which. For some reason, the game checks for a disc in the optical drive on some system configurations.

@TestACC :ASD 3.0d is the patch/mod. The 12 January 2022 is just this guide. He probably updated the guide recently.

[TestACC :ASD]

Also, the body-text says "Current version: 3.0d September 2021", however the side-bar mentions that "Last updated 12 Jan, 2022 @ 12:20pm". So what's the deal here?

[TestACC :ASD]

Hey there, do you plan to make updates to this mod of yours, or is it considered complete and doesn't need touch-ups/additional fixes? Thank you!

True retro gaming here folks. The most suspicious download known to man, but it's entirely benign and does exactly what it says.

Damn, malwarebytes does NOT like that link

Gonna be real. A russian .exe was not really something I would trust.
This works, my pc hasn't imploded or there isn't an igor blackmailing me for anyting.
I would recommend this patch to everyone.

[tor.anders.b.martinsen]

Desperate here. Installed, NET.framework fixed, but game crashes in standard game. What could be the problem? I love that you made the patch!

[=[DC]= Stickman001]

I am still experiencing the 'Stuck Scrolling' game play issue where the game scrolls to the top left. Has anyone experience this with the patch installed?
I have tried both the original game and clone campaigns, I am using the widescreen option as instructed. I have re-installed the patch with windows-xp option unchecked.
Any suggestions?

@|)in-d1n Thanks very much! That's the best way! I also forgot to ask if the patch would add a unit control group to the 0 number key. In Age of Empires and other RTSs, you can usually use all numbers including 0, but for some reason this game only does 1-9. If you (or anyone) know(s) how to correct this (any updates to this patch?), that would also be helpful. Thanks again!
