Age of Empires Definitive Edition

-I'm not a Trend Micro representative, but I like to give you some suggestion-

Did you try to set in whitelist the game folders?

Hi Stropenhagen,

As Max said, kindly add the whole Age of Empires folder to the exception list of Trend Micro program. You may refer to this link on how to do it:

Configuring the Exception List of Trend Micro Security software

For you to know the location path, kindly right click the shortcut icon on your desktop then click "Open file location".

Please let us know how it goes.

Hi Stropenhagen,

This is a similar case from: Age of Empires.

Can we try and isolate the problem first? We can disabe the Trend Micro program components using Trend Micro Diagnostic Toolkit and run the game again.

Please press the Windows key (located between the Ctrl and Alt key) and R key on your keyboard to open the Run Command window. Type in "supporttool.exe" and click OK...this will open Trend Micro Diagnostic Toolkit. Go to Uninstall tab and click on Stop All Components.

If the issue persists, that means the issue is not caused by the Trend Micro program. Just in case it worked, please send us a screenshot of the exact error message and we'll try took look into it further. You may then re-enable the Trend Micro program components on the Trend Micro Diagnostic Toolkit and click on "Start All Components".

Thanks!

Hi,

I uninstalled Trend Micro (doing Beta testing) and the game worked.
I have installed the new beta and the game now crashes with the overlay problem.
I had the folder white listed but it still failed.

Thanks
