Radioactive decay occurs when the nucleus of an unstable atom decays and changes. There are three types of radioactive decay: alpha decay which emits a helium nucleus, beta decay which converts a neutron to a proton and emits an electron, and gamma decay which emits electromagnetic radiation without changing the nucleus. Radioactive isotopes are used in medical scans and treatments but are produced artificially in nuclear reactors since they decay naturally over time.

limitation of certain monitors or some older, lower-end video cards that do not support higher resolutions.
Use ALT+F4 to exit the game, restart The Conquerors Expansion, and then use the Options screen to
switch to a lower in-game resolution.

button, and then click Options). You can also set some of these variables by adding parameters to the
command line.
Command Line Parameters

2. In the Target box, type the name of the parameter after the existing command line text. For example, if you
add the parameters NoStartup and NoTerrainSound, the command line will read "C:Program
FilesMicrosoft GamesAge of Empires IIAge2_x1Age2_x1.exe" Nostartup Noterrainsound. Parameters
must be separated by a space; capitalization is not important.

1. Click the Start button, and then click Run.
2. Type Regedit, and then click OK.
3. Double-click Hkey_local_machine/Software/Microsoft/DirectPlay/Applications/Age of Empires II - The

the word "lobby" from the command line.
The command line parameters include:
• NoStartup - Skips all cinematic sequences before the game starts.
• 800, 1024, 1280 - Sets the screen resolution to 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, or 1280 x 1024. For example, 800

screen resolution to 1280 x 1024. You can also set the screen resolution by clicking the Menu button during
gameplay and then clicking Options. If you use a command line parameter to set the screen resolution, the
game always starts at that resolution, even if you use Options to choose another resolution. Note that the
interface screens before the game will always be displayed in 800 x 600 mode.

persist, contact your OEM dealer, hardware manufacturer, or motherboard manufacturer for further assistance.
L. Multiplayer Troubleshooting
• Age of Empires versions - In a multiplayer game, all players must be using the same version of Age of
Empires. For example, if you are using The Conquerors Expansion, only Conquerors Expansion games
appear in the multiplayer list. Games created with Age of Empires, Age of Empires: The Rise of Rome
Expansion, or Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings are not listed.
• Best performance - For best performance, connect to the Internet before starting an Internet multiplayer
game.
• Connection type - Always select Internet TCP/IP Connection for DirectPlay when starting a multiplayer
game over the Internet. (Select the Local (LAN) TCP/IP Connection if you are playing on a private or home
network.) If you choose LAN and you are playing on the Internet, the game may hang. If this occurs, restart
The Conquerors Expansion and select Internet TCP/IP Connection for DirectPlay.
• Different modem speeds - If two players have different modem speeds, they will be unable to play with
each other. If this occurs, use the same modem speed as your opponent.
• Home networks and dial-up connections - If you have a network card and you dial in to the Internet via
modem, you may have trouble launching multiplayer games. If this occurs, unplug the network cable from
your network card before connecting to the Internet.
• Computer Players in multiplayer games - It is not recommended that computer players play in a
multiplayer game over the Internet as it may slow the game. If you would like to add computer players to a
multiplayer game, make sure the player with the fastest computer and fastest connection hosts the game.
• Multiplayer performance - If you experience performance problems during a multiplayer game, try playing
at a lower screen resolution or have the host set the game speed to Slow in the Multiplayer Game screen.
• Multiple IP addresses - If other players are not able to connect to a game you have created by typing the IP
address that appears when you click the IP button on the Multiplayer Game screen, you may have multiple
IP addresses. You can display all of your IP addresses by running Winipcfg.
To run Winipcfg
1. Click the Start button, and then click Run.
2. Type Winipcfg, and then click OK.
3. Select PPP Adapter. The correct IP address is displayed in the IP Address box.
• Disconnection from ISP - If you are disconnected from your ISP and quickly reconnect, you and the host
may be dropped from the game if your ISP assigns a new IP address because the game will not recognize
you. If this occurs, restart the game.
• Random map versions - If your version of a random map does not match the host's, you must go to the
Random folder where you installed The Conquerors Expansion and rename the map so the host can
9. transfer the correct version.
• Hard disk space - If you join a multiplayer game but do not have enough hard disk space to download the
scenario, you will receive a message that you must quit the game, clear space on your hard disk, and then
rejoin the game. You must also delete the partially downloaded scenario from the Scenario folder where you
installed The Conquerors Expansion or the game will crash after you reconnect.
M. Map Editor Troubleshooting
• Scenario names - You cannot name a scenario using certain reserved terms, such as AUX, CLOCK,
COM1, CON, LPT1, NUL, PRN, etc.
• Palette problems - You may experience problems when creating your own background art for campaigns in
the Map Editor. If this occurs, do not use the first or last 10 colors in the color palette.
