Custom Campaigns not being removed from Game Cache/Memory

Age of Empires: DE I - Report a Bug
1

Game Version:

  • Build: 27374
  • Platform: Microsoft Store
  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • Gamertag: replaceme

Issue:

When I play a campaign all the way through, I delete it out of the folder. Months later when I want to replay these campaigns, I put them back in the folder and load up the game. When I go into Custom Campaigns, it shows that they have already been completed. I figured it would start from the beginning map like I have never played it before.

  1. This is famous problem
  2. You have old game version (27374). Current version is 38862

  • Cache won’t just get deleted because of file removal. The game stores information somewhere else (don’t know really where). Personally, after reading your topic, I don’t think of it as an issue, since you’re not exactly deleting the memory cache, but the scenario/campaign files only.

  • If you are using Microsoft Store version, and have build 27374, open this link.

Cheers, and I hope you have a better year.

Currently downloading newest version hopefully. Thanks

I’ve played tons of older maps in DE. When I remove them and want to play later, it doesn’t start all over. Progress from previous time of playing is still there. How can I clear the data from these maps in order to start fresh.

You mean, not being able to start scenarios from scratch, after doing saves? Like this?

not like that. Let me see if I can explain better.
