I am getting very annoyed with AoE online.i used to just play it single player got bored so i moved onto the online aspect.i registered in the zone.com and went to play. i joined a game and it said host launching game then a new screen came up saying starting multiplayer game.after about two minutes it said "failed to launch game"and i went back to the lobby.i thought it might have been my firewalls so i turnned them off abd tryed again,the same thing happened(unfortunatly).i turned on my second computer and tryed to play online using the IP method but everytime i said to join game it would say "joining game,failed to join" i am really annoyed now because i was lokkin forward to online-play.does anyone no the problenm or can anyone help me?
