1. Turn on DirectPlay in Windows

   Open Control Panel › Programs › Turn Windows features on or off › Legacy Components and tick DirectPlay. Windows 10 and 11 ship with it off. Every player has to do this, not just the host.

2. Join the LanOrbit room, then start the game

   DirectPlay enumerates adapters at launch. Starting the game first means it never sees the virtual one.

3. Create a multiplayer game

   From the main menu choose Multiplayer, set your name, and pick Local Area Network (TCP/IP) as the connection type. Then Create.

4. Set the match and wait for the lobby to fill

   Map, resources, population limit and game speed as usual. Everyone in the room sees the game in their list.

1. Confirm DirectPlay is enabled on your machine too

   Same Windows feature as the host. Without it the game list is always empty and there is no error message to explain why.

2. Multiplayer, then Local Area Network (TCP/IP)

   Enter your name and pick the same connection type as the host.

3. Pick the host’s game from the list

   It appears with the host’s name. Click it, choose your civilisation and team, and wait for the host to start.

Probleme și rezolvări

The game list is empty even though everyone is in the room

DirectPlay is not enabled, or age2_x1.exe is blocked by the firewall on Public networks. Fix both, then restart the game — not just the menu.

The game appears but joining times out

DirectPlay uses TCP 47624 for the initial handshake. Some antivirus suites block it silently. Add the game folder to the exclusion list.

Everything runs, but the match stutters for one player

AoE II is lockstep: the whole match runs at the pace of the slowest connection. Check that player’s ping in the room and consider a closer node.
