I played 1.4 versions without any sort of problems but with 1.5 versions the game doesn't start
and gives me the following error message.
"Couldn't initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw"
I'm running this game, with windows 10, in a 2016 pc that can for sure run the game as I can play Aoe2Hd and 1.4 versions without problems.
Help would be appreciated

I searched the whole internet and you where the only one that actualy helped!!
But I just got a little problem, when I open the game it goes on fullscreen and I get only a corner of
the game screen. The confirm button in the options menu is not accessible so I cant change the resolution.
If you could help me out with this one it would be apreciated.
2. Launch the game
3. Press F10 on your keyboard and click on Options:
4. Select the resolution you desire and press Enter on your keyboard
Hope it helped!
Best regards,
Eric
Non-DirectPlay game path is 'c:\program files\voobly\gamedata\aoc'
Verifying 'c:\program files\voobly\gamedata\aoc\language_x1.dll' exists...
Failure!
The file was not found at the location the registry said it should be. The registry keys need to either be fixed or the game needs to be moved to the proper location.
My suggestion is to use Bootcamp instead.
Cheers
