Now is the second time.

Hey, man I have the same bug…
how did you fix it?

3

i have this problem too! Just bought the game to play multiplayer, but it will not let me, multiplayer is greyed out. PLEASE HELP!

4

I fixed it just reinstalled the game.
If doesnt work for you, come to discord channel and someone can help you.

5

Reinstalling now, I don’t really know how to use Discord so… crosses fingers it works

6

…it didn’t. Have also tried disallowing, and allowing all settings in Xbox profile, signing in and out of all xbox services. This doesn’t happen with the game I own through Steam, so it must be something with the xbox profile?
How do you request refund? I only bought it to play multiplayer.

7

The solution for me: re-install the game. I hope it works.

And I’m having other problems, but related to the map editor, shadows on terrain editor, but testing and returning the problem “solves”.

hallo ich habe eine frage hat es bei dir geklappt bei mir geht das nicht

Posting the only working solution I found for this, regarding an error code for Xbox Live flagged via a Microsoft forum

Try the solution below, please.

Run PowerShell as administrator, after that, run the command below.

Get-AppxPackage -allusers WindowsStore | Remove-AppxPackage

*Restart your computer after this - It is extremely important to do this

When starting the computer Run PowerShell as administrator again and run the command below.

Get-AppxPackage -allusers WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

*Now try to install the app again, let us know if this works, please.

i have the same bug right now…

lots of chinese players have the issue
some figured to install aoe3de (which is free) once
dont know if aoe3 2007 would work
anyone with this issue can also test since aoe3de is 50gb, aoe3 2007 is 5gb

17

AoE3:DE is free? You mean free trial for limited time, or free forever? Somehow I think you mean the former

Either way, fixing this issue for AoE2:DE would be the way to go. And if that doesn’t work, install AoE2:HD, AoE2:CE, OR AoE2:AoK. Instaling AoE3 is not an answer, and is not even remotely tempting

18

Free trial forever. Three rotating civs, one historical battle and (can’t remember) first scenario of the campaign

If you’re playing on GeForce Now there’s not much you can do as one doesn’t have control over certificates and launching AoE3 is not a solution either.

However, one can:

  1. Report an issue through the GeForceNow Feedback button after quitting the game
  2. Write to support
  3. Post on Reddit and other social media
