Will update thread if it does or doesn't.

It gives me this crash even when (in many combinations): deleted and reinstalled, switched to different compatibilities, turning off anti-virus, and turning on/off DirectPlay. Going to try putting the nvcpl.dll from dll-files into AoE3's folder, see if it fixes.

Open NewProfile.xml and fine the line that specifies the optiongrfxres and change the res to say 1024x768. 1A.) Set your screen resolution to 1024x768, then rerun the game. I've checked the log (like I should've from the start) and it says "PreGame 7753: nvCPL is unavailable." Delete the file NewProfile.xml in your /Age of Empires 3 Trial/Users/NewProfile.xml directory.

My drivers are CCC 15.7.1 (I have unrelated issues with Crimson). I was able to run AoE 3 on my HD 6870 back in the days of Windows 8.1, but can't on my R9 380 (windows 10). If that doesnt work, Age of Empire 2 HD is available on Steam, which is fully compatible with Windows 8.1 (I played it just the other day on 8.1 and it worked flawlessly).

I've tried editing the xml profiles to 60hz refresh, 1024 resolution, etc, and also gone through the "How to Fix Direct3D errors" on Tom's Guide. Under the compatibility tab, set it to Windows XP Service pack 3 and see if that resolves the issue. The compatibility is set to XP SP 3, run as admin. Of course I've forgotten it's name, though. If I choose "attempt to run," it gives me the "Direct3D initialization" error.īefore this, I had to download a DLL that was missing. When I click "Play," the "Age of Empires III" logo/image comes up, then it gives me an error saying my machine doesn't meet the system requirements (says I have 0 MB video memory. I'm unable to play AoE 3 (Steam) on my machine. Sorry for reviving such an old topic, but I can't find much up-to-date information on this.
