Windows 10 age of empires 2, small black screen and will not start could not initialize graphics system. make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with directdraw.. Age of empires 2 hd edition not starting up hi i pre-ordered this game on steam and this morning i installed and went to play it and the launcher started and just crashed. i went to start it later on in the day and it didn't even load the preparing age of empires came up for 3 seconds and closed.. Compatibility mode should not be not necessary to run the original aoc on windows 10, as it runs perfectly by default. if you have issues running the game, update it with userpatch v1.4 and it should work without any further changes..
