General information

Availability
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 saved games. If a projectile (arrow from archers, ships, towers, siege weapons) is "flying" through the air while saving a game, the saved game becomes corrupted; loading it will crash the game.
Skip introduction videos
The introduction videos can be skipped by adding a space and NoStartup to the end of the game's shortcut.[1]
Game data
- You will need to backup all of the above files and folders to have all of your player data and progress.
- Game settings such as resolution, audio volumes, and game play speed are stored in the registry instead of a config file.

Issues fixed
Game uses weird colors
Playing the game on a modern version of Windows may cause it to use weird colors. Repetitive red and purple specks in water and marsh areas are the common issue. This can be fixed by downloading and using DirectDrawFix.
