If you have an aversion to the Windows Store, you can opt into a Steam branch for the beta. The initial wave in February will be for fans of III before the pool gets expanded in March. Each beta will focus on a different aspect of the game with some dedicated to multiplayer, campaign play, and matchmaking. There won't be one large period, but several smaller ones. In the drop-down box, select XML as the format and then save it.Īs noted on the forum post, Microsoft will be handling Age of Empire III's beta little differently. Let the program run its short diagnostic and then click the 'Save All Information' tab. In the command line prompt, type 'DxDiag' (minus the quotation marks) and press enter. On your keyboard, hold the Windows key and press R. The website does provide a nice guide, but I'll quickly go over the steps. Many might not know how to create a DxDiag file.
