Hello guys, i tried to play recently with some friends but whereas i could play with no issues before, the game crashed right after the intro !
I tried nearly everything from updating my video drivers (AMD Radeon 550MX and Intel UHD), loging in and out of steam, reinstalling the latest vc_redist, changing the drive where is the install, reinstalling the whole game, disactivating intro and steam overlay, launching directly from exe…
Only when i directly launch it with the executable as an admin do I get “SteamAPI_RestartAppIfNecessary()”. Strange part is i get that before the intro even finish and the game crash.
Logs show an : Exception type 0xc0000005 occurred at 00007ffe18bc42f0, causing the crash
Please be my savior so i don’t have to do a complete system install…
Could you try to launch the Steam client app as administrator and then use the verify game files integrity functionality of the Steam client.
Also if installed make sure Xbox Companion-console is signed out and it might be worth to manually check for MS store updates although you do own the Steam version.
I own the MS store version, so it’s a bit difficult to debug your issue.
I think that regardless of the used version you should be able to find the latest log file below the following folder: C:\Users\<YourUserName>\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\logs
If you could upload it here or post a linkt that could be helpful.
Which antivirus application and Windows edition do you use?
