Hello,
This is the first time I've ever posted a question of my own in a forum. I can usually find my answers from posts. But this issue I'm having is just strange.
So, I bought age of mythology gold edition, the one by ubisoft exclusive. It came with one disc, a DVD-ROM for the PC. But when I put the game into my disc drive, it does not recognize it. I can hear the disc spin a little bit and then skip, spin a little and skip, over and over again. So, I cannot even get to the installation process, let alone play the game!
I have tried so many things to troubleshoot.
The game disc is not the problem:
My sister has the same game, same edition. I've tried her game disc in my computer, but it is not recognized either.
Of course, her computer reads both discs just fine.
I'm not sure my hardware is the problem either:
My laptop has a BDDVDRW drive. I've tried reading other discs and my computer reads Blu Ray movies, DVD movies, music CDs, CD-ROM games and even other DVD-ROM games (like the Sims 3) just fine!
The only game it has a problem with is this one.
I read a thread with a similar issue that was posted a few years ago in this forum. The person who posted the question eventually realized that his computer just could not read "dual layered" discs like the one this game is written on.
However, I cannot see how this could be my issue. A drive that reads BD and DVD just fine should also be able to read this game. I cannot understand why it's not working.
Does this game just hate my computer? I had the CD-ROM version before and it worked just fine, but since I want to play multiplayer, I need this DVD-ROM version to work so that my game is compatible with the other players on gameranger.
Please, help me. I am so frustrated.
