When trying to launch the game from Steam or where ever, something seem to be happening, but nothing actually opens. No start screen, no nothing. The game was working perfectly before the update.

:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
I click the play button in Steam. I wait the game to launch. Windows seem to be loading something. After a few second of loading, nothing happens. Steam also don’t recognize the game to be playing anymore.

Hi @MrSorbias and @BicolorStar73 !

Could you add here the mdmps and logs of the day where this happens? Logs could be found here: “C:\Users\USER\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\logs” and have this format “2022.01.20-18.28.40” and mdmp like: “AoE2DESteam-58115-2022.01.19-15.05.33.mdmp”

Thanks!

I think it’s not creating any new files to that folder when ever I try to launch AOE 2 DE

Also reinstalling the game doesn’t solve it either.

Go to “My Computer” and click on your C folder.

In there, click on the Users folder.

Then click within your user.

Go to the GAMES folder.

Then go to the Age of Empires 2 DE folder and you should see the logs folder within it.
