So ive played this game since 2008 only recently about 3 months back i bought it on Steam.

tho sometimes not always but sometimes Desktop appears and then that msg Age 3 has stopped working.(then turns of).

 

Ive uninstalled the game reinstalled it still same issue from time to time. should i now uninstall Steam then reinstall Steam ?

I can play any other game fine. Hmm i wonder if it's a Framenet upgrade i should do or not. Not sure Advice please.

 

And as Normal thanks in advance. Always appreciate your feedback.

Please add more information in your original post so that we can assist you.

  • Are you running macOS or Windows? What version?
  • When does the error appear? At launch? After playing the game for a bit?
  • Do you have mods installed?
  • Has this issue happened since you bought the game on Steam?

Please quote or mention me if you would like a timely reply. Thank you!

This is a common bug with the re-released AoE unfortunately. I received a refund on the game after suffering from about 6 crashes in under two hours!
