Hey guys.
I've got a problem. As the headline says AoW crashs often without any reason in the game. ( I mean, without doing anything special. E.g. just moving a unit, BAM crash ... ) I have Windows 7 so I guess that's the problem, because on my old computer with win XP (sp2) it runs without problems. So I've tried to run AoW in kompatibility ( hard word .. ) mode. I don't know, if it helped but now my own created maps didn't appear on the list ..
Please help ! ^^
Edit: So, if the crash happens the game freezes and when I swith to the desktop there are tons of errors. One I can remember, something like: "exception during draw" . It happens on custom Maps but also on original maps, like after the fall.
OR it just switchs to the desktop and it says "AoW is broken" or something like that ( don't know the english version of it ) And it says it's looking for a Solution for this Problem, but nothing happens.
UPDATE: Okay, even though nobody helped me I'll update the thread for people, that maybe will have the same problems.
To run AoW on Win7 you have to use the Compatibility Mode of Win98. Also you have to install the Game outside of the Program-Files folder , because otherwise you won't be able to see your custom maps - neither in the folder , nor ingame in the list. I actually run the game with administrator-rights, but I don't know if that is needed.
