Hey,

I think I posted my thread in the wrong place before.

I am looking for assistance getting AoM EE compatible with Voobly. I found the compatibility patch and followed this thread to try and troubleshoot it myself. (https://www.voobly.com/forum/thread/355225)

I followed the steps listed that from that thread and Voobly is saying everything looks good. Of course, I own EE on steam and discovered Voobly is the best way to play so here I am.

I noticed running the compatibility patch creates the AoM folder inside C:/ Microsoft Games / Age of mythology folder when following the instructions. I am not sure what else to try so I am reaching out for suggestions. I did not get prompted to select a file path the second time I tried join the AoT lobby in Voobly, even after I uninstalled it. But again, the message says it checks out and it's patched to 1.03. Could the file path be the problem? What other information can I provide to help figure out what is happening?

Also, I did disable anti-cheat mode to see if I could at least get the game to launch; was not successful.
I appreciate your time looking into this and any assistance you can provide.

From the other tread I read, it was advised to use the Microsoft Games directory, but my system looks like it selected Voobly>gamedata>AoMt which I suspect is the culprit. I do not know how to change the directory Voobly is looking in. There seem to be no option to change it.

Updating as I go, I found the rockalldll.dll from the original steam folder for AoM and put it in the Voobly directory for the "patched" voobly version. When I tried to launch again, it said granny.dll was missing this time. I repeated the same process and found the granny.dll and dropped in the voobly directory. Now its mss32.dll that is missing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I was not getting these errors the first time around but have been since I started trouble shooting.

If it's a bad install I don't know what else to try. I uninstalled AoM from steam, deleted the Age of mythology folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Age of Mytholog. Then deleted the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology. I even uninstall Voobly to run a fresh start up. I open steam and run the game once. Then I run compatibility for EE, then patch AoM T for 1.03 standalone. Run Voobly and get those errors.

When I install Voobly and update the patch for AoM it created C:\Program Files (x86)\Voobly\gamedata\aomt. When I run the compatibility for EE it creates C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology.

There is a documents folder that was named C:\Users\conno\OneDrive\Documents\Age of Mythology. I renamed to AoM.

Trying to provide as much information as I can.

Hi there,

I've just installed Voobly to try to play AOM there instead of the steam version. I do not have the game file though. Is it possible to get this somewhere?

Edit: I thought you needed the original game .rar but missed the compatability patch. After following some existing troubleshooting threads it works now. Thank you for all previous communications!

Glad to hear that you found a solution. Welcome to Voobly and enjoy your games.

Miko, I am having similar problems as OP.

Once I re-download on steam I do the compatability patch. Then when I try to start on Voobly it gives me the 3 missing files error. I tried to copy and paste them but that also didn’t work.

Hi WarEagle14,

Thank you for contacting us and I'm sorry to hear you're having problems installing the compatibility patch. Could you please share some screenshots of the error messages you are receiving?
