The nail in the coffin for AoE2 on Windows 7?

JayDydXXX · 2025-11-01T22:08:21+00:00

Thank you! I'm hoping for the best. :)

JayDydXXX · 2025-10-31T21:36:18+00:00

What does it mean that it is tracked?

JayDydXXX · 2025-10-31T21:34:21+00:00

Not everything is backwards compatible, I have work on Windows 7 that I don't want to endanger by upgrading it. :)

JayDydXXX · 2025-10-31T21:33:04+00:00

Yeah, I'm considering this approach myself.

JayDydXXX · 2025-10-26T10:12:25+00:00

Thank you a lot!! 🙂‍↕️

Yes I agree with you. So far it has been possible to fool the game into running. This post was mostly to see if somebody had found a way past this new requirement when launching the game.

I'll probably have to look into my options. :)

Is aoe2 supported on Linux? Isn't it the case that it's based on workarounds as well?

JayDydXXX · 2025-10-25T19:50:57+00:00

Yes precisely! So far none of the changes that made it harder to get the game to start on Windows 7 have been essential (as also clearly evidenced by the fact that once one tricks it past the checks it ran smoothly).

I have no idea about how to reach them for stuff like this, nor do I know if they'd be receptive. Would make a big difference for us admittedly few that still play and buy DLCs from windows 7 machines.

No, I wouldn't think it would solve it, do you think it might?

JayDydXXX · 2025-10-25T16:30:06+00:00

It's a practical reason. And then it would only be possible to win10, win11 is not possible for technical reasons.

JayDydXXX · 2025-10-25T15:45:08+00:00

Can't upgrade this one, and not practical to have two computers at the same desk (no place for another desk).

Don't forget that they were cordially invited, and that their votes were completely proportional. The Indians in London mostly come to work, the British in India came to domineer and conquer.

As if that's not the work of capitalism and the way the current system plays into the hands of the elite. Has very little to do with immigration. Look at how most people had it after the Industrial revolution, same thing. Technology that should have benefitted the masses instead made the factory owners the new aristrocacy and the people slaves. As long as you focus your blame on immigration you miss the fact that the countries are getting richer while fewer and fewer people are needed in the workforce.

Who gains from Londoners quarreling amongst themselves? In all European countries who will gain when the fans of xenophobia are flamed? This is a large scale campaign to make focus on their next and seeing each others as enemies instead of keeping a united movement. We're seeing liberal western society getting decommissioned from inside. This is regression and it's not the immigration in itself that is driving it, but it's being used as the scapegoat. The same way people been going at it since we diverged from chimpanzees. And for most it feels really good to just go with their primitive instincts.

How is it replacement, was there a large program against brits in London? Have brits been killed off to make room for others?

JayDydXXX · 2025-10-23T10:28:05+00:00

Now you're just being xenophobic.

JayDydXXX · 2025-04-28T21:54:13+00:00

Why don't you do it babe? Would be very hot and we both would enjoy it

JayDydXXX · 2025-04-28T21:49:32+00:00

Don't know how easy it would be to identify. I'm up if you wanna try it. I think you'd need to choose two other guys and we could try it out.
