Age of Mythology - Windows 10

Could you provide the link?

Microsoft made a patch update that you can install for the game to work. Make sure the version of the game you're running is version 1.10. If it isnt, and the game says that you're up-to-date, Microsoft has a manual download patch on their website.

For flips sake Microsoft.....You now the problem. It is th revolves around your lack of functionality to allow older games to be run in Windows 10 because you have not included the correct security drivers.

Sort it out. Many people have paid good money for these games, but YOU have stopped them working

Sort it or give us free versions that do work via Steam

This is the Win10 gaming forum, and unfortunately your fix does not apply to Win10.

This is because DRM Blocking is built into Win10, not installed via Windows Updates.

Win7/8/8.1  can use the commands that enable/disable  the DRM Blocking update.

The update can also be uninstalled.

I left a link to my more detailed post regarding DRM Blocking in my first post on page 7,

and other posters have also described the evil MS has foisted on the gaming community on previous pages.

With Win10 the only fix for games that are affected by MS DRM Blocking malware is to use a noCD fix.

Some games have an official patch that removes the DRM . This is the best option when available.

• When a thread has people posting other issues or the thread gets long, as this one has, the original

issue can get lost in the mix.

eg- Some people have been having issues with Steam, or other download versions. These versions have their own issues, but are not affected by MS DRM Blocking malware.

DRM Blocking only affects disk based games that use some versions  SafeDisk (and maybe SecuROM).

When a game has the  secdrv.sys  file on the games disk it will be blocked.

• There are also various versions of DRM that have an issue with 64bit Windows. Including 64bit XP.

As was explained on page 6. When a game has this issue a noCD fix  is also necessary in most cases.

[ btw -  I had to laugh at the poster who was afraid to use a noCD fix because they had kids using the machine.

As if a PC malware/virus could affect their kids. Cute....

I have about 70 noCD fixes . Most have been on my machines for many years.

The majority downloaded from  the site I linked to on page 7  ]

I actually contacted a rep from Microsoft about a week ago to see if they could fix it. His solution was to contact the developer. Which is exactly what I was doing. Maybe Ensemble will be of more help, and actually remember that they made the game.
