Hello Samantha_,

To play WK DE, you first need to have normal WK. To get normal WK you need to own Steam's Age 2 HD (2013) + 3 DLC's.

So... in order it would be like this:

1) Buy Steam's Age of Empires 2 HD (2013) + 3 DLC's:

*Once bought, please remove your existing Age of Empires game, following this guide: [You must login to view link].

2) Install normal WololoKingdoms version 5.8.1:

3) Install WololoKingdoms DE:

Can you please run your game diagnostics?

How to: enter any lobby (e.g. New Player Lobby) and look for the Options menu on the upper left part of the window.

Options > Run Network Diagnostics

Copy paste us the results.

Game was found in DirectPlay registry!
DirectPlay play thinks the game is installed at 'c:\program files\age of empires ii hd'
DirectPlay command line is 'Lobby'
DirectPlay play thinks the game exe is at 'c:\program files\age of empires ii hd\AGE2_X1\age2_x1.exe'

Everything looks fine. DirectPlay is configured and the game was found on your harddrive. If you still have problems try rejoining the lobby or restarting your computer.

Hello Samantha_,

You seem to own a pirated version of the game, as your path is the following: "c:\program files\age of empires ii hd".

Please buy a legal copy of it (first step) and follow the Clean Installation guide and you wont' have that problem; the issue is that you can't install the compatibility patch without a legal version of the game.

Let us know how it went.

after seeing the first reply with steps to install. i bought the game from the same link that is given in step 1. for $43.something... 39.99+tax.

and then followed the rest of the steps... how ever when i tried to uninstall the AOE2 old version it didnt uninstall correctly i guess. so i manually uninstalled it after installing aoe2hd. may be thats the reason. cos thats the only thing that i did apart from the steps given.

anyway i think i dropped it. its fine i will play the old version itself.

i purchased the game to play it in voobly as it was not happening i have asked for a refund to steam. and they said they will review and process it. so its fine... sorry for your time

Hello once again,

We can still try, if you want. If you now own the game, then it's easier because Voobly will have to relocate the game files and it will go for your Steam's folder and then ask you if you want to install the Compatibility Patch.

Then you just install WololoKingdoms and after doing so, you install WololoKingdoms DE.

Let me know.
