RTS-Sanctuary _ Technical Issues _ Can't run Aom and Aom x on Windows 10

Posted by: BSB0708 Feb 15 2017, 06:34 AM

Hey guys
I can't run AOM and AOM X on Windows 10.
AOM EE on steam runs fine.
I tried everything, changing settings to Windows 7 in properties but nothing seems to work.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

What's the error code you're getting?

Posted by: BSB0708 Feb 15 2017, 10:50 PM

Just get a black screen and the game does not start.

Posted by: Mirez Feb 16 2017, 03:29 AM

Posted by: BSB0708 Feb 16 2017, 10:28 AM

this is for graphics bug. It doesn't run at all on Windows 10.
Does anyone else has Windows 10 and is able to run AOM and AOM X??

Posted by: TOAO_ChronoJJ Feb 16 2017, 10:52 AM

I have Windows 10 and never had a problem. so I am not sure!

Did you buy the game or downloaded it?
I bought Aom EE Tale of Dragon that works fine.
But AOM and AOM X from torrent wont work

Posted by: TOAO_ChronoJJ Feb 16 2017, 11:30 AM

I installed AoM cause but downloaded AoT. You could try re-installing, but a google search indicates you arent the only one with the problem.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AgeofMythology/comments/3b8qmn/nonsteamoriginal_age_of_mythology_on_windows_10/

maybe look at that

It has also fixed startup issues in the past. You'll want to do it anyways because otherwise your game looks poopiety so why not just try it?

Even mine did not work on windows 10.
I had aom and aomx on windows 7 and it always seemed to work fine.
But it just does not launch on windows 10. No error message or anything.
I download the game pack from torrent too like bsb0708.

I just googled and found this link.

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/games_windows_10/age-of-mythology-windows-10/c7142024-8298-4060-aeb8-0e77d9d83af7

Please can someone check it out and see if there is a solution to this problem. I just auto assumed it would not work with windows 10 and uninstalled it and stopped playing.

Here is what most guys have to say about the issue
"I guess you are having the same problem as myself and a number of others.
It's the fact that Windows 10 doesn't come with SECDRV.SYS driver, and the one that comes with the game is a 32-bit driver that isn't signed and won't work. This driver is part of the copy protection mechanism on AOM and other games.
The driver was provided with Win 8.1 64 bit, which is why it worked on that platform.
Which all together means that AOM (and other games that use the same copy protection technology) can't work on Windows 10 until Microsoft provide a compatible driver."

But some of you say you have aom and aomx on windows 10 which gives me hope.
Maybe someone here had a similar problem and can explain if there is a fix.

Or maybe you can share your source of the game with us. As far as i know BSB0708 and I use the same source from torrent. So its possible it may work with a different source.

Reading the link you can see about 1000 guys had the same problem when windows 10 came out! Lol i did not even know so many guys played the game.

I'll see if I can find where I got my version from. It's obviously possible to play with Win 10, but I don't know what the difference is with mine, because it required no additional work for me (other than fixing the fog of war issue) . Also I see some people on reddit talked about getting the game to work with a custom no-cd crack. I'll look into that option as well.

Hey I also had problems,

Mirez's suggestion for me was good:

Go to C:\Users\yourname\Documents\My Games\Age of Mythology
Delete Acommlog, logfile and RTS3banglog
Then go to the "Users" folder and delete everything there.

Find Aomx.exe, right click on it and add xres=640 yres=480 to the path. So it should look something like this
"C:\Program Files\Micorsoft Games\Age of Mythology\aomx.exe" xres=640 yres=480"


the xres and yres worked on my one, on the aomxnocd ONLY. Regular aomx doesn't work for me.

I read your post in the other topic. I remember I had the same problem, the cinematics would run and then after that it just hit a black screen.
So I will definitely try your and mirez's solution, next time I install the game.
Also maybe installing and updating direct play made a difference?

Thanks flowers.gif ooh.gif

Alright guys. I finally got the game running on windows 10.
Thanks a lot to Lad_Mirez and AciD_Weasel. You guys are awesome.

This is the final solution for anyone else who might face the same problem.

Go to C:\Users\yourname\Documents\My Games\Age of Mythology
Delete Acommlog, logfile and RTS3banglog
Then go to the "Users" folder and delete everything there.

Find Aomx.exe, right click on it and add xres=640 yres=480 to the path. So it should look something like this
"C:\Program Files\Micorsoft Games\Age of Mythology\aomx.exe" xres=640 yres=480"


After this if you have to fix the graphics(shadow glitch) then see the following video-

To make your game fullscreen see the following video-

If the game won't launch due to the error, "Need Directx 8.1 or later and Windows XP/Me+" You need to enable direct play in Windows features > Legacy Components.
