How to fix Age of Mythology Extended Edition common issues and bugs on Windows 10

1. Game won’t start/crashes

2. Users can’t play online/update the game

3. Game sound missing

Update sound card. As same as with GPU drivers. Make sure that proper sound drivers are installed. Right-click Start and, from the Power Users menu, open Device Manager. Navigate to Sound, video, and game controllers and expand it. Right-click on the main sound device and choose ”Update driver”. Update Windows. Certain users resolved sound issues in Age of Mythology Extended Edition by updating system. Press Windows key  + I to open Settings. Choose Update & security. Click on the Check for updates button. Disable mods. Third-party mods are great, don’t get us wrong. Some of them just tend to affect the game in a bad way including, the in-game sound. Disable surround sound. Other users regained normal in-game sound by disabling Dolby Surround sound and switching to Stereo. Check the default Playback device. Make sure that your primary playback device is up and running. Right-click on the Sound icon in the notification area and open Playback devices. Right-click on the preferred playback device and Set it as default. Look for changes. Check in-game Sound settings. Confirm that everything is properly set within in-game sound settings. 

4. Low FPS

Lower your settings. Even though this game is remastered, it’s not demanding by any stretch of the imagination. However, if you’re stuck with a quite old PC, take these steps into consideration: Disable all graphical enhancements. Lower screen size Set shadow quality to Off. Restart the game. A fresh start is always good. Many in-game problems can be resolved this way. Disable background processes. Some background processes might take a toll on your PC’s performance and affect Age of Mythology. Make sure to prevent resource-hogging programs from working in the background. Disable Game Mode. It seems that the Game Mode feature isn’t providing the results we hoped for. Press Windows key + I to summon the Settings app. Open Gaming. Select Game mode from the left pane. Toggle Game Mode off.

5. DLC Tale of the Dragon issues

Disable mods. Another obvious step. Older mods might lack compatibility with the lately introduced DLC and vice versa. Disable one mod at a time until you confirm the issue. That way you can keep other mods. Install redistributables. With the latest DLC packages, you need to update your DirectX and redistributables, too. Download Virtual Studio C++ and DirectX in order to resolve the DLC issue at hand. Pay a close attention to architecture (64-bit or 32-bit). Confirm the integrity of the game files with Steam. Follow the steps we provided above to do so. Reinstall the DLC. Finally, you should reinstall DLC if none of the previous steps resolved the issue.
