AGE just shuts down when I try to set it to my aoe2 folder

For other games it either works or gives a file doesn’t exist error but for aoe2 it just tries to load after selecting it and shuts down

Perhaps I need a newer version of the editor? Any assistance asap would be appreciated

Are you using AGE included in the game client under “Tool_Build” folder or a standalone installed one ?
The standalone version sometime cause issue with the built-in version so rely only on the officially released version in your Tool_Build folder.

Can you screenshot your loading settings on your AGE ? (by censoring your username of course, it’s what comes next that is usefull)
