Hi everyone

In addition to my crackling sound in the background of playing Age of Empires 2 I'm also experiencing characters and units disappearing right in front of my eyes along with the game crashing randomly. Mostly when I have a lot going on in the screen at the same time.

Is this a problem with directx or is it computer related. I only have a pentium 2 300mhz processor but i do have an ATI Rage 3D graphics card and 512mb of RAM.

Any help would be most appreciated cos I can't find anything about this problem in any AOE 2 forums.

Thanx

Mark

You could download the newest drivers for your video card at ati.com and see what happens.

I have had the same problem with age of the empires. I had a 366MHz. I upgraded to a P4 1.5GHz (Overkill) and kept all my old cards. Having said this, I would say it's likely the CPU Speed. You could try Conrol/Alt/Delete and stop all other programs except for Explorer and SysTray, before starting your game. Also be sure that you are not running from the CD.
