Age of Empires III Trial under 10.6

[N0ddie]

Is this a problem for the full game or just the trial? I just bought this today and have yet to try it.

Bought this game last week and it runs superbly well on my iMac. Really does look good with everything turned up, even for a 6 year old game.

No running/text problems at all.

Hi,

my problem with AoE 3 and Snow Leopard concerned the FRENCH full version, not the trial version
I found a solution on internet and it worked fine. I suppose this could also do for other language versions although I did not try it out!

Do as follows:

Contents->Resources->GameData FR->FONTS->Open the file Fonts2.xml
Change the first line of this file as follows:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>

that's all. For me this worked.

if you are using another language version, I suppose the file "GameData FR" should be replaced by your language version.

In any case, keep a backup copy of the original file. You never know...

Many thanks to "houlala63" on "macgeneration", a forum for French speaking Mac users

I am trying to change it but haves problems on changing the FONT IT IS LOCKED?

Ditto

I changed the first line in the trial version and none of the text appears in the game even after these changes? Anymore suggestions?

I also changed this text and saved it appropriately. I run the program and still get no text on buttons. I'm looking for other ideas.

so just found out how to fix it... go in change it to <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> and below you'll notice it says Arial above the "Fonts" just delete that part and you're good....sorry if its not 100% verbatim because I don't have the original file to look at.

Hi mtoc3411,

The above solution does not work for me so I deleted the whole line "<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-16”?>" from the file and saved the file and now I have text on the menus.
