when I play AoC with the 1.5 Mod my screen looks like in the attached file. I tried a lot of stuff but its still there.
- It only happens when I play in full resolution of my monitor (1280x1024) or if I go for multi monitor
- it only happens with the 1.5 patches, 1.4 works perfectly fine
- i bought the HD version, but it is still there
- I tried all the various settings (32bit, etc...) nothing helped
does anyone may be know why that is?
any help highly appreciated!

First, how did you install your game ? Please post a game diagnostics there. (Go to your lobby. Options->Game Diagnostics and click Begin Scan . Screenshot or copy/paste here)
Also, try to use those recommended settings in your room

Let me know if that works.
I tried with recommended settings, which made the purple glitch go away. However now my multi mon isnt working correctly (see screenshot 1) - the bar is still streched out but for some reason nothing is displayed on my second monitor. I also attached the logfile at the end (it is in german, I hope that is not a problem..)
@Gregstein
I tried it, it looked like screenshot 2 (a tiny window, but at least without graphic glitch - however when I switched back the problem was still there...
thank you guys a lot for your help so far!

Please enable this feature "Span Game Across Multiple Monitors" as it is in the screenshot :
Also, make sure your second monitor has the EXACT same resolution as the first one in order to have an optimal result.
thank you again. I did - however it is staying on one monitor. Both Montors are the same with the exact same res.
Strangely enough, even when I do not click any of those two settings as in the screenshot 2 , the game still looks like in screenshot 1.
I left all the other settings as recommended.

From the screenshot 2, the two first settings should be enabled in your case. Also, after launching the game, go to Options and check if you can select your native resolution.
Give me your feedback after that.
EDIT : Please make sure you correctly enabled the feature as it won't work if you don't.

As stated here, it should work with that.
thank you again. When I went to settings in game, I could only select the resolution for one monitor (1280x1024) but not as before 2560x1024. After doing so, my game switched to a normal look on one monitor.
I had both options ("Span game across multiple monitors" and "force desktop resolution") turned on.
So as of now, even when I relauch, with the multi-mon options turned on, the game is shown compelty on one monitor and I cannot choose a resolution higher than that anymore.
I checked my monitor preferences, my left monitor is set as the primary monitor within the windows display settings.

In your Voobly game room, 'Render in 32 bit' needs to be enabled.
Switch the command bar position to center.
If it still does not work, swap the primary and secondary monitors and try again.
