I need more details than that to help you. What kind of error message are you seeing, what operating system are you on, what have you tried so far? Have you looked at the Microsoft Support Ticket for the game? This issue is in rare cases caused by something other than a screen resolution issue.
This post was for the original Age of Mythology. Extended edition is slightly different with different options and different requirements. From a quick read through this post you could try adding the following after your target instead (640 is apparently too small for AOMEE):
+window xres=1280 yres=1024
Keep in mind, you must have a DirectX 10 supported video card for AOMEE to work. I would install the latest DirectX and video card drivers as often the cause of the error seems to be a corrupted driver.
Are you sure +forceD3D9 is the way to enable 32 bit resolution? If the 32 bit resolutions are not available its more likely that the game cannot recognize your video card and automatically allows you only a very small pool of low settings. You should be able to hack around this by following the steps on this post: -of-mythology/age-of-mythology-square-fog-of-war-and-water-glitch/

Hey! So I tried every solution on this page. I have zBook and running WIndows 7. According to the specifications, my computer should run this game just fine. In fact, when I installed it one year ago, it worked. But now, every time I try to run it, the menu appears, and when I click play, it sometimes says launching Age of Mythology: The Titans, but then it disappears and nothing happens. No error message, nothing. Anyone knows what to do?
Help! I have tried every solution on here and it is still not working. Age of mythology works fine but when I launch Age of Mythology the Titans Expansion it gives me this initialization error message. Im pretty sure the screen resolution or size is not the problem because Age of Mythology works fine. Any Ideas?
Hey there, please help me. I am a big fan of AoM series and have been playing them for years on my PC. I recently upgraded to the latest windows 10 and it even got the anniversary update. So i installed AoM Extended edition which I got thru torrent. It is the same pc I used to play before and it worked fine but now I get initialization error. I have tried the x res settings(ran as admin too) and everything that you said, please help I want to play it so bad.
