Question AOE 2 Definitive Edition keeps crashing to the desktop ?

[muratt1989_]

Hey lads,

Ive built a new PC. These are the specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Yv3jN6

Since I want to use all the benefits of my pc and make it sweat a bit firstly I opened AOE 2 lol,

But interestingly Ive got a message from the game that says tampering detected. It was possibly because of my antivirus programme (bitdefender). I gave the game some expections and tried to play the game again. Afterwards, the game just crashed to the desktop. No error, no nothing. This happened I believe 4 times in total. Lost my rank as well

Never seen such thing before at my old pc.

The BitDefender Exceptions that Ive given.

There is no open steam overlay option as well. The GPU driver is up-to-date.


I really wonder whats going on with this and little bit worried this issue might contine with other games.

I tried single player just 5 minutes ago and it crashed again. I have updated the GPU driver after I opened this thread, uninstalled and downloaded the game again but this. Anyone? It happens like after 10 minutes into the game. I checked both the cpu and gpu temps and they were 61 and 50 respectively.

Ive also found the crash log but have no idea how to interpret it.

If you have XMP enabled disable that, I would also make sure there isn't any other weird setting in the bios that could cause issues.
The x3d CPUs are pretty sensitive to ram overclocks and can take damage if the bios isn't up to date or if you overclock.

Otherwise AOE games are really stable so it should work fine on a new OS.

Thank you for the answer. I had a problem building this PC up cause apparently my mobo was faulty. Everything was great after I changed the card. So, a friend help me to build this pc at the second time. He changed the ram settings before I installed the windows from bios. The ram speed was 4400mhz and he told me exactly like this: your rams are underworking, this number should be 6000 and then I guess he overclocked it. The rams are: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory. Can this be considered as overclocking?

And im just checking the bios. The rams are at 4800mhz. I dont know how that happened.

Not only can but it is by everybody.
Also if your CPU gets more than 1.3V on the soc (the part that has the memory controller) it can get permanent damage.

I dont think I have XMP. But isnt that the rams default speed is 6000mhz for this issue. It possibly got back to 4800mhz after I updated bios.

The max ram speed for your CPU with two ram sticks is 5200
If your friend put it on 6000 with settings that were too high then it might already have done some damage so that the bios after the update couldn't hit 5200 anymore.
Or it's just a bad default setting and you have to tune it manually to get to 5200.

How can i know if is there damage or no? Beside this gaming issue? It might be something else.
