Is it still possible to play AOE2: The Age of Kings over a LAN?
My friend and I still have copies of Age of Empires: Age of Kings and we have installed it both our laptops.
Is it still playable over LAN?
Best Answer
I played the old version of AOE II with expansion for a long time over lan, including Windows 10. The only problems I ever had starting the game (ranging from Windows XP to Windows 10) was administrative rights for the network tool AOE II uses and fire wall blockage for which you just have to say 'Allow' and be done with it.
Make sure everybody has version 1.0c and maybe check compatibility mode.
To be honest, I have more problems with the steam version than the old version for multiplayer. The old version loads multiplayer save games nicely, but I never got that working for the steam version. I also have more problems with network stability when playing on steam compared to the old version.
