    OG Age of Mythology on Windows 10 - Ways to fix some campaign cinematic issues

    Posted: 16 May 2021 11:30 AM PDT

    Hi all, I have a few things I wanted to add as a comment to How to play Age of Mythology The Titans on WINDOWS 10, but the post is archived so I figured I'd make a new post. These are some extra fixes you can add to the game to make the campaign experience a bit better and, if you've played the game in the early 2000's, closer to what you remember :D.

    Game runs too fast

    If you have a modern machine from post-2006 with a dedicated graphics card, you may have noticed the game runs animations way too fast. This is because you're achieving FPS values, probably in the 100s if not 1000s, the game never accounted for. This results in especially poor "lip sync" when watching the in-game cinematics during the campaign. To fix this, follow these steps:

    1. Download the latest release of d3d8-wrapper from GitHub, you'll want to download d3d8.zip: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/d3d8-wrapper/releases
    2. Extract the zip's contents (d3d8.dll and d3d8.ini) to your installation of Age of Mythology. For me, this would be at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\.
    3. Open d3d8.ini in a text editor and change the line FPSLimit = 0 to match the refresh rate of your monitor. For those with 60hz monitors, you'd set FPSLimit = 60. Since my monitor is 144hz, I've set this value to FPSLimit = 144.
    4. Save and close.

    Animations and lip sync should now be fixed!

    Subtitles in cutscenes are hard to read / letterbox is gone

    When playing in a widescreen resolution, like 1920x1080, the black boxes at the top and bottom of cinematic cutscenes seems to completely disappear. This is probably because the game wasn't originally designed for 16:9 aspect ratios hence why you need to supply xres,yres launch options to achieve it. This results in hard to read subtitles during cutscenes. To fix this, follow these steps:

    1. If you don't already have one, create the file user.cfg in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\startup.
    2. Open user.cfg in a text editor and add the following line: LetterBoxAspectRatio=2.5
    3. Save and close.

    Note: You may have to play around with the value of LetterBoxAspectRatio if you're using a resolution other than 1920x1080.

    The cinematic letterbox should now be visible!

    Cutscenes are too zoomed out

    If you're an old person like me, you'll remember cutscenes looking a bit more zoomed in then they do now on a modern widescreen display. My guess is that the cutscenes were never tested against wide screen resolution monitors similar to the above explanation. This breaks immersion since the camera may unintentionally show stuff not meant for the cutscene. To fix this, follow these steps:

    1. If you don't already have one, create the file user.cfg in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\startup.
    2. Open user.cfg in a text editor and add the following line: fov=19
    3. Save and close.

    Note: You may have to play around with the value of fov if you're using a resolution other than 1920x1080.

    Cinematics should look close to what you remember!

    Let me know if any of these instructions are unclear and I'll update them accordingly.

    Treaty mode vs AI?

    Posted: 16 May 2021 12:51 AM PDT

    I dont play hardcore pvp, I just like to play a round against the computer sometimes. And lately I've been playing treaty mode but have noticed the AI tends to just sort of give up and not even try. Even on titan with mr. Monday, only occasionally does the AI do anything.

    Anyone else experiencing this?
