After playing the origional game Empire earth first version I got excited and got myself the expansion pack. Somehow this one doesn't work and keeps giving me the same error on more than one computer.
After installing the expansion, I try to run AOC.EXE. The screen auto adjusts to prepare playing. Next some space units will display, while next the picture pops (Like a scizor that cuts paper) and I get the EE-AOC.exe error. If I click on more details, I recently noticed it has to do with low-level engines.dll
Anyone who knows a solution?
- I got enough free space
- I tried installing directx9 and 10
- My computers run graphical better games than Empire earth and the origional game never had any problems.

It is because of file mismatch, maybe you have registered other version of game and file is wrong, try reinstalling it, or downloading the DLL file from the Internet and replacing it with the old one.

Alright. I downloaded it and unzipped the file and it was .dll already.

It's a DLL in a zip, too.

Ok, For those of you out there who are trying to play EE-AOC and recieving the low-level-engine.dll error, Here is what I did to fix the problem.
IT IS A DRIVER ERROR, read on to find out how to fix.
I am using a Dell Optiplex 270 for playing Multiplayers with mates who come over. It came with Xp, but I installed a Copy of WINDOWS 7 on it. I run EE-AOC and I get the error report low-level-engine.dll.
I read many possible solutions for this problem. Replacing the .dll file does not fix the problem. The problem Lies with the graphics adapter and its drivers. Windows 7 installed the standard VGA graphics adapter drivers and I was unable to get an official intel driver from dell.
When I run dxdiag, and switch to the display tab the direct x features are all "not available" (direct draw, direct 3d, AGP texture). As there were no drivers available for windows 7 I partitioned a space of 15gb and downloaded a 30 day free trial of windows xp and installed it.
After installation I ran dxdiag, and it said the same thing. Also EE would not run, same error problem. I then installed the graphics and sound drivers that dell supplied only for XP, and restarted my pc. And whamo Empire Earth now works and dxdiag states that my Direct draw and direct 3d are both enabled.
Note that I did not install direct x during installation because xp comes already running dx9c.
Conclusion:IT IS A DRIVER ERROR and that EE-AOC is an awesome game and in my opinion the best strategy game ever to be built to this day. It does have a few problems with Graphics but there is always a fix. Hope this helps and GAME ON!
PS Feel free to ask anyother questions regarding this post.
