    Age of Empires II Multiplayer Problem

    For some reason I can't seem to connect to other people's games. I've turned off the firewall and everything. Does anyone know how to solve it?

    Aye, direct ip. No games show up when I copy/paste the ip address.

    Well, I have a problem whenever I CLICK on Multiplayer. Just clicking on it makes the whole game crash. I play single player with no problems, I have the original CD and everything. Does anyone know what's going on?

    Try forwarding your router's ports.

    What?

    Would a router cause this problem I'm having? I mean seriously, just CLICKING on the Multiplayer button on the main menu, you know, the shield with the swords, makes the game crash. Rarely the little list of options like LAN and Direct IP show up, but I can't click on them.

    Would some corrupted file cause this problem? It's possible that there could be some corruption, the CDs are pretty old and scratched up, but I've played the single-player campaign for awhile now and it hasn't had any problems.

    Its definitely your router. I have this issue. Two solutions: play at gameranger or bypass your router temporarily and connect directly to the modem. Where are you attempting to play?
