I'm having issues. It will not run the game, saying my Direct3D cannot initialize. Anyone else having these problems? I'm running a 6800GT on 77.77 forceware drivers.

Is this not a thread about the AOE3 demo? Seems like a damn good place to ask about it. You said yourself, everyone posts in here about Software. Apparently this is the place to get answers.

I love you Nik.

Its too bad the demo has so many problems. I wonder if something is wrong with the demo itself, there is no reason for seemly everyone to be having the same DX error.

just finished the single player, it seems pretty good. I thought the exploration of the Americas was a good idea and it seems to incorporate a few features which are different enough to warrant purchase (home cities, persistent upgrades, nice graphics)

Eh, I thought it was boring. One of those games that suffers by having too much to it.

It's not me that they're defying. They're defying higher levels of smartness. Yay for high levels of dumbness!

I think the original AOE Trial was my very first trial version of a game EVAR! I was addicted to that game like crack and eventually purchased it, along with the other AOE games (I still need the AOE II Expansion pack :()
