514316 2007-01-09 20:19:00 Roughly every 10th time i play age of empires 3 the games crashes. This very consistent and has been happening for a long time now. I now have the expansion and play that however the exact same thing happens with this as well.

If anyone has any idea to what could be causing this that would be great as i dont really have much of a clue at all.

514317 2007-01-09 20:24:00 Hi Jason. What do you see on the screen whenever the game crashes? Does this problem apply to Age of Empire 3 only? Have you tried reinstalling the game?

Cheers :)

This only applies to age of empires 3 and the expansion pack. What happens is the game window minimizes and then i get the typical windows error message saying that there is a problem and age of empires needs to close or something along those lines. The message also has an option to send an error log and to debug.

Yes i have reinstalled the game more than once.

514319 2007-01-09 22:44:00 Hi again. What Operating System are you running? Could you please provide us the vital statistics of your computer as well? It seems that Windows XP is the only Windows OS that is supported for that game.

Cheers :)

Are those what you were after?

514321 2007-01-10 02:20:00 Update the graphics card driver.


Age of Empires III may close back to the desktop if the antialiasing mode is enabled. To resolve this issue, turn off antialiasing or set it to application controlled by using the video driver control panel.

Patch the game.

514322 2007-01-10 03:09:00 My graphics card driver is up to date and the game is patched.

Anti alialiasing is turned off as game runs to slow with this on.

514323 2007-01-10 19:23:00 I have noticed that the game only crashes in long games where i have been playing for at least 40 minutes. JasonF (11755)
514324 2007-01-10 20:31:00 Can you advise any other games you run that don't cause this problem. Greg (193)
