=== Lag when the music changes ===
 
While playing Age of Empires the games freezes for a second every time the background music track changes.
 
Disabling the music via settings or command line is the only solution.
 
{{ii}} This occurs only when using the MIDI music. Some versions of the game with CD Audio don't have this issue.

Improvements

Patches

Age of Empires patch 1.0c

The latest patch for Age of Empires is 1.0c.

This file is the same one as Rise of Rome patch 1.0a; downloading one of them will update both games.

Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome patch 1.0a

The latest patch for Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome is 1.0a.

Age of Empires: Rise of Rome 1.0a suffers from a serious bug in game saves. If a projectile (arrow from archers, ships, towers, siege weapons) is "flying" through the air while saving a game, the game save becomes corrupted; loading it will crash the game.
