Ca't access AOE 3 WarChiefs campaigns through Asian Dynasties

Anonymous

I used to play AOE 3 on my windows XP. Recently, I upgraded to a system using Windows 8.1

First of all I could not install WarChiefs until I manually created a folder in programdata folder in c drive.

I installed aoe 3 updated it. Next, installed Warchiefs updated it. Then I installed Asian dynasties and updated it.

Now I can play main campaign and WarChiefs campaigns by warchiefs (aoe3x.exe). But I can't access WarChiefs campaigns or Civilisations through asian dynasties(aoe3y). I can only access the main and Asian campaigns.

Please don't waste time on suggestions like reinstalling "as admin" etc.

P.S I also get a message that I am using a 32 mb graphics card while its NVIDEA 2GB

Hi Deva,

I understand it’s frustrating when things do not work as expected.

This issue could occur if the game is not compatible to Windows 8.1, the game was released on year 2006 where windows 8 was not even launched.

I suggest you to install the game in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

Refer the link below to run the game in compatibility mode.
