I have a problem when using ipx wrapper with Age of Empires 1 The Rise of Rome. I have the Unofficial patch installed. I can see the hosts game on the ipx lobby's list, however when I click join the game freezes for a few seconds then gives the error: "Unable to join game". How to fix this problem with this one game please?

Here is the debug ipxwrapper.log file:
ipxwrapper.log

Nothing in the log there tells me why it isn't working. IDirectPlaySP::HandleMessage() which is the method used to pass a received message to DirectPlay for processing is sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing (never seen that), but the error code doesn't hint at why.

I see you're using the Send and receive real IPX packets functionality. Does it behave any differently if you both turn it off and use the default UDP transport?

I think the log file got lost from your last message? I can't see it.

Yes, I can see it now.

Do you have two Ethernet adapters in the same machine connected to the same network as suggested by the log output? I'm not sure if that could be the issue, but I've never tried it. Might be worth disabling one of the adapters if possible just to see if that resolves it.

Are you using IPXWrapper for AoE 2 as well? If IPXWrapper is working for you using another game I think I'll have to give it a try myself at some point to figure out what is wrong.

Port forwarding won't do anything here, since IPXWrapper relies on all the computers being in the same broadcast domain there is no address rewriting to do.

Hi, I was wondering if you were ever able to find a cure for the age of empires 1 problem?

Hi

Sorry, I haven't been able to work out what the problem is.

I mentioned it to someone and they brought up the remake (Age of Empires: Definitive Edition) saying it is a pretty faithful remake... not what you asked I know, but just thought I'd mention it in case it was news to you.

I can confirm this is happening over here as well for Rise of Rome.
Regular Age of Empires works though (Gold version).
