      Pro Tip:

      Subscribe to "No Intro Logo" mods with caution. These often modify the game's executable memory at launch, triggering an instant "Tampering Detected."

      1. Press Windows + R, type msconfig, hit Enter.
      2. Go to the Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services, then click Disable all.
      3. Go to Startup tab > Open Task Manager > Disable all startup items.
      4. Restart your PC. Launch AoE2.
      5. If it works, slowly re-enable services until you find the culprit (usually Razer, Corsair, or MSI Afterburner).
      • Why it happens: These programs inject code into Windows system processes to change the look of the taskbar. AoE2:DE’s anti-cheat system sees this code injection and flags it as "tampering."
      • The Fix: You must temporarily disable or uninstall the customization software.
