Get it. It seems to be only people using Vista (eww) and XP (made dated OS) that are having problems. Everyone else seems to be fine.The_Lost_King said:

On the steam store page it says: "This game will unlock in approximately 2 days and 15 hours".
If it works for you, then i am clueless since the game hasn't even been authorized to be played yet until the 9th, I pre-ordered mine and it gives me error "Failed to start, Contact Steam Tech support". This is a old school game i used to play when i was a midget teenager years ago. I have the original version in my old pc storage that looks so outdated lol. it runs with no problems. I'm Sure on April 9th it will work for most of you. If you are asking for a refund then look at the facts...: the game is "locked" right now, if it works... then perhaps you used an exploit or got lucky.... Be patient for a few more days, then you can try again, and if it isnt working still, then you have consent to complain.

Oh good, I have windows 7 x64 I'll get it when it goes on sale for a little more. Summer sale will be good.AzrealMaximillion said:
There's no exploit to get the game working before the 9th. Those who pre-ordered before the 5th got early access is all.MrJinglez said:
Dont pre-order, solved.
The only game that for now was justified for pre-ordering was Bioshock Infinite (although I didnt) because even if it sucked you would also get 2 other games that were really good for a nice price. All the pre-order incentives that AOE2 had was the 10% Steam Sale... 10%... couldnt you wait?
Also, its usual that nowadays the first releases are all filled with bugs and shit, just give it some time.

They have recently released a patch which will hopefully fix the windows XP problems, not sure about vista though since the small forum thread giving a small detail about the patch only mentioned XP.
Be nice if they got better frame rates for it. It is almost like they didn't even touch that side of the game. Or maybe that's just limitations of the old engine they used?
Hope they can fix the achievements too because they just don't seem to wanna trigger. Managed to get 5 pop up all at once after a nice 2 hour battle with some friends.
Sure they will brush up and fill in the cracks to get it to run better when it is officially released and more people will be playing.

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and haven't had any problems running the game itself.
I did run into some strange multiplayer issues when trying to play with @TheSaw: and @TimeLord:, though - apparently it doesn't approve of Time hosting at all. He kept being kicked and stuff.
I'm hoping that's an issue on their end that they're intending to fix. Hopefully. Maybe.
