Hi, my steam version of aoe 2 is running perfectly online and offline.
When trying to start the game in voobly by hosting a room. i'm getting the error: "Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and drivers are compatible with DirectDraw".
I installed new drivers, tried 32bit rendering, offline resolution and my game room settings are like this: [You must login to view link] , but nothing seems to work for me.
It's rly frustrating..

updated yesterday and i tried all options various times with all combinations possible. still getting the error.
im using directx11 on win7 with ati radeon 5800 hd. i rly have no clue why its not running cuz i updated everything. the game path is correct, but it simply wont start with graphic card error.. would love to play over here but seems to be impossible -_-

i dnt know exactly where the error was but apparently it worked out when i deleted aoe, compatibility patches and voobly. then reinstalling. I guess it was a pathing error, since i had compatibilty in steamapps/newfolder instead of being installed directly in path. who knows. However im super glad it's working now. Thanks for your fast respond. You're keeping the community up. rly nice guy :)
