Some time ago I wrote a tutorial on how to make Age of Empires 3 work with a freeware Virtual Private Networking (VPN) program called Hamachi. There have been many questions about where to find the AOE3VPN.exe patch referenced in the tutorial. Some people were unable to find it from the supplied Google search bar.
The good news is that a much-improved patch is available from Crea-Doo:

Version 1.63 of the Age of Empires loader makes the startup even easier by providing a GUI to select between using a Hamachi IP address and the machine’s public address. Override ports, sound settings, bypassing the intro video and direct IP connectivity can also be toggled. Best of all, support is not limited to basic Age of Empires III. The following “Age of …†games are supported:
Age of Mythology
Age of Mythology – The Titans
Age of Empires III
Age of Empires III – The War Chiefs
Age of Empires III – The Asian Dynasties
Age of Empires III – Napoleonic Era (mod)
A quick test with the new Asian Dynasties expansion booted to the menu screen without the intro video and connected to Hamachi effortlessly. Age of Mythology is no longer on this system but I’d be interested to hear if anyone has luck connecting Hamachi to the notoriously picky game.
The Age of Empires Loader works with The Asian Dynasties Expansion

Hey
Thanks for this patch!
I’ve a suggestion.
Can you add an option for the ones who played age of mythology on laptop. Players of Aom with a laptop (widescreen) can’t play Aom with widescreen resolution. Option of Aom gives 800×600, 1024×760 and 1280×1024. So I had ” xres=1440 yres=900″ in the AOM shortcut. Is that thing possible to add in the patch? (All the Widescreen resolution)
Sorry for my bad english.
Bye and thx !
thanxxxxxxxxx alot
Has anyone successfully played AOM: TT with that loader?
Let’s play AoE 3 (Himachi) name :living_death pas: 123
