Cant start empire earth 2 expansion

Post by Mr.Dave »

Hello EE2 Community.

recently I downloaded EE2 and the 1.5 patch.
when I tried to start Empire earth 2 is started nice and clean no errors. but when I tried to start Empire earth 2 age of supremacy.
I got an error and it didn't start ( see crash report below for more information). I tried searching the internet but I couldn't find anything.
I also installed it on my brothers and fathers pc but, they did not have any trouble with both the games.
anyone who has a solution for me?

Thanks for posting about your problem.

We figured out on the Support Chat that Windows Defender (built-in Antivirus) causes this problem. It sometimes prevents programs from writing files to the Documents folder.

If somebody else experiences this problem, please try the following steps:
1. Go to your Documents directory, and make sure that folder "Empire Earth II The Art of Supremacy" exists. If it doesn't - please create it manually.
2. Try to start EE2: AOS Singleplayer game. If it still crashes - temporary disable Windows Defender.
3. Add the whole Empire Earth 2 folder (the one with installed game files) to Windows Defender exclusions. Please follow: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hel ... -antivirus

Have a nice day.
