Hello,

I and my brother are trying to play "Age of Empires: Rise of Rome". We have version 1.0a. We use laptop and PC which are connected to Internet via our home router.

We start a game (two of us together with some AI's) and after 1-2 minutes the game freezes. The music and sounds are playing, we can click but nothing happens. I can see my brother's messages in the game but he cannot see mine. When he leaves the game, the game continues without a problem. I tried to play only with AI's and everything is OK (I've played a whole game of about 30-40 minutes).

What can be the problem?

Best regards,
Stanislav

hi
i assume you mean at voobly?
have you forwarded any ports on the router? port 16000udp to one pc, say port 5000udp to the other?

Yes, I meant at Voobly. Both PC had NAT Traversal settings "Port 16000 UDP". We tried changing one to "Port 5000 UDP" but the problem still exists.

edit: Now we managed to play 2v2 (vs 2 AI) without a problem. Is it possible that the problem occurs when there are more AI's?

edit 2: We made another game 2v3 (vs 3 AI) without a problem.
