Hello fellow Wololo-warriors.

After not playing for some weeks I tried to play AOE 2 on Voobly after the last Wololo-Kingdoms patch came out.

From that point on, I was unable to play. The game just says "Unable to join game" after the loading screen.

Game diagnostics tool says everything ist fine. But it is not. (see in german below)

I reinstalled the game according to the known procedures several times, but nothing helps.

I would really appreciate some help. Playing on HD just is not the same than playing on voobly.

Alles in Ordnung! DirectPlay ist konfiguriert und das Spiel wurde auf deiner Festplatte gefunden. Falls noch Probleme bestehen sollten, starte bitte die Lobby neu oder reboote deinen PC.

hi
check you have the latest WK patch.
check your pc firewall and anti-virus still allow the game and voobly through and is not blocking the peer to peer.
if that doesnt help, uninstall the mod, reboot and try. also check the game runs ok completely off of any game site.

I only assumed that it is connected with Wololo Kingdoms. But actually it also does not work before installing WK and just playing 1.4 oder 1.5 Beta. Hmm I also tried to reinstall voobly & AOE, maybe I will try again.

hi
its more likely to be a firewall/AV problem.
if you have the steam version and want to reinstall try this way: : https://support.voobly.com/display/vkb/KB1054+Clean+installation+of+Aoe2HD+with+compatibility+patch
make sure your User Account Control is on.
