Been playing without problems untill today when i deleted some rundll32 stuff(the good one is safe, i followed a tutorial). After this I tried joining 2 games and the game would just not start, went to game folder and tried to run age2_x1.exe and it did nothing. After 1h of google search i found a fix by renaming age2_x1.exe to LITERALLY anything else, even age2_x2.exe works.
Now the issue is that when i start the game via voobly it creates an exe with the name "age2_x1.exe" and tries to run that one, which won't start because of the name.
Short story= if i rename exe it works, but voobly wants that exact name, so... ideas please?
Thanks!

If you don't trust running this bat, what you need to do is to rename the file "gameux.dll" in "windows\syswow64\" or "windows\system32\". In order to do so, you need to:
1) Start a cmd shell as administrator
2) cd to the corresponding folder (syswow64 or system32)
3) Get ownership of this file by typing "takeown /f gameux.dll"
4) Get permissions to change the file by typing "cacls gameux.dll /E /P %username%:F"
5) Rename the file by typing "ren gameux.dll gameux_dll_bak"
6) Close the shell by typing "exit"
Remark: All commands have to be typed in of course without apostrophes "".
Hope this helps
