Windows 10: Age of Empires 2 Definitive

This MS Store download of AoE2 Definitive Edition (released November 2019) is unplayable because the opposing side (AI) surrenders randomly, sometimes even before there's been a conflict. AoE 1 Definitive Edition played fine.


Windows 10 Home fully updated.

i7 CPU & 16GB RAM.


Anyone got any ideas?


Thanks.

Age Of Empires The Age Of Kings Multiplayer Crash

Hi,



This issue might happen if the Windows Firewall is blocking the game from connecting to the LAN.

I suggest you to add the Age of Empires the Age of Kings, to the exception list of the Windows Firewall and check if the issue is resolved.

Follow the steps below.

• 
  Press Windows key + X key and select
  Control Panel.
  
• 
  Click on View by in the top right panel and select Small Icons.
  
• 
  Find and click on Windows Firewall.
  
• 
  Click on Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall in the left panel.
  
• 
  Click on Change Settings, find and check the Age of Empires the Age of Kings box for both
  Public and Private Columns.
  
• 
  If Age of Empires the Age of Kings is not listed, then click on
  Add and select the installed path of the game.
  

Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us for further assistance on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.



Thank you.
