1248825 2011-12-15 20:46:00 My computer can't take Age of Empires 3. Every time I start scrolling, It starts juttering then jams for at least 2 secs then the screen goes black and goes to the desktop. I put the graphics on low and the same things happen. Ive tried getting drivers, Defraged and cleaned my computer out. All that made no difference to game play. Here are the basic specs of my computer:

2GB DDR2 RAM, 256MB ATi HD Radeon with shader model 5, AMD 64x2 2.1 GHz, ASUS M2N-MX SE motherboard, Windows XP. I have more than enough of everything to run the game.

Here are the minimum game requirements:

Windows XP-256MB RAM
Processor-1.4GHz
Hard drive-2GB
Video Card-64MB with support for hardware transformation and lighting

:illogical :crying

Please help

Sorry for the title mistake tale means take :nerd:

1248826 2011-12-15 20:51:00 Have you tryed other games? Have you had the same problem with anything else or just AOE 3 mrlooneyman (16628)
1248827 2011-12-15 20:52:00 Sounds like something is crashing. Did you get the video drivers from the ATI site?? For the right card? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1248828 2011-12-15 21:35:00 I have tried other games, they work just fine. It's just AOE 3. Burnout Paradise works good, which is a newer game than AOE 3!
I got the drivers from the ATI website.

Thats a bit unhelpful. What model?

1248830 2011-12-15 23:55:00 I think it is a 3400 or a 3870. Can't access my computer as I am on holiday. ChazTheGeek (16619)
1248831 2011-12-16 01:00:00 Lame card then, whichever one. pctek (84)
1248832 2011-12-16 01:34:00 But it should be new enough to run AOE3, no? Agent_24 (57)
1248833 2011-12-16 20:50:00 Yea it should take AOE3! ChazTheGeek (16619)
1248834 2011-12-16 21:50:00 Have you installed the latest patch for AOE3? Perhaps it is having an issue, not your video card. Agent_24 (57)
