Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition completes the celebration of one of the most beloved real-time strategy franchises with remastered graphics and music, all previously released expansions and brand. @Telperinquar said: Just to get in the mood for a AOE reboot I thought I’d try and install the original games on my windows 10 PC, I didn’t get very far, does anyone know if they will work? I have Age of Empires Gold Edition and they work just as well for me on Windows 10 as they did on Win 95, Win 98 and XP. It was Vista and 7 that seemed to have it’s problems but there was still a fix.

It is an error when I tried to play my Age of Empires III game in Windows 10. I have the game which is installed on Steam platform. It is an old game, which is released 11 years ago, or 2005. I played it on Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 7. Now I installed it on Windows 10. It gave me an error and closed.
I checked and fixed the error with two steps.
Step 1. The error of compatible mode.
I located the executive files and change the properties. age3y.exe
It is located on Steam library. Mine is D:steam-games. So the files are in d:steam-gamessteamappscommonage of empires 3bin
Right click on the file and choose properties, click Compatibility tab, make sure choose Windows XP (Service Pack 3) Compatibility mode and choose Run this program as an administrator.
Step 2. Install Directplay in Windows 10
Right click Start, choose Programs and Features, Click Turn Windows features on or off.
Make sure there is a checkmark in Legacy Components, click the + to expand, check the box for DirectPlay.
It may ask for rebooting.
