Age of Empires 4 — AVX Not Supported [Solution!]
FINAL EDIT:
Just follow this link: https://www.mirrored.to/files/IKIGT6AW/ and download the zip file, extract it and copy & paste it into your game’s folder.
I tried this fix and it worked for me. First, be sure to save the original files if this fix doesn’t work for your game version. Enjoy!
If you need some help with how to do this, follow the instructions provided in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TLbYo00eyY. I’m not affiliated with this video in any way, but it provides the needed instructions (there is a download link in the video description if the one provided above doesn’t work).
—————————
OLD FIX:
It may be unbearably slow for some people, so I strongly recommend to first try the method above, as it gives a much better user experience.
Just follow the instructions below:
-
Download Intel SDE version that matches your OS from Intel Software Development Emulator Download
-
Unpack downloaded archive and copy all files to your AOE4 Folder.
After this:
-
Copy “sde.exe” to Desktop (as a shortcut).
-
Right click on it, go to Properties and change “Target” path to something like: “D:GamesAge of Empires IV Foldersde.exe” — RelicCardinal.exe.
“D:GamesAge of Empires IV Foldersde.exe” — RelicCardinal.exe
Right click on sde.exe shortcut again and go to Properties → Compatibility and check “Run this program as an administrator”.
Run the sde.exe shortcut and the game will start.
Note: The Game will start very slow, but it will work fine if you have a decent CPU and GPU and adjust Game Graphics settings.

I love to play video games and write about them. Food helps with my patience. I am a fan of comedy, and I am funny too (sometimes just angry).
Age of Empires IV is a real-time strategy game released for PC. While the game doesn’t require a beefy GPU it does require at least a 6-Core CPU. The optimization is quite well, however, Age of Empires 4 PC players are reporting errors and issues like game not starting, in-game crash, XInput1_4.dll is missing, and more. Here I have compiled a list of errors and issues that PC players are experiencing along with their fixes and workarounds.

Age of Empires IV Crash, xinput1_4.dll, And Fixes
Age of Empires 4 is the latest game in the franchise to release and has received great critical reception. As I mentioned above, the game is not that GPU intensive but does require a good CPU with support for the AVX instruction set. Overall the game is quite good in terms of optimization. But, PC players are reporting errors and issues with Age of Empires 4 like game not starting, in-game crash, XInput1_4.dll is missing, crash at startup, and more. The following are the errors and issues that PC players are experiencing along with their fixes and workarounds.
Game Not Starting, Crash At Launch Fix
PC players are reporting that Age of Empires 4 is crashing at startup or not launching at all. Here is how to fix the Age of Empires 4 crash at launch issue.
Firstly, the game only runs on Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11 64-bit. If you are using an old OS or a 32-Bit OS, then upgrade to be able to play the game.
Another reason for Age of Empires 4 to not launch is the CPUs that don’t have AVX support. Make sure your CPU supports the AVX instruction set to be able to play the game.
Some players have reported that disabling Controlled Folder Access in Windows 10 fixes the game’s crash at launch issue. Open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection > Manage ransomware protection > Turn off controlled folder access. This will fix the Age of Empires 4 not launching issue.
For some players, Age of Empires 4 crashes with an error message telling them to update the GPU driver. According to PC players, they have updated the GPU driver and the game still crashes at launch. One potential fix for this Age of Empires 4 crash at launch issue is to uninstall the GPU driver and reinstall it. Make sure to do a clean installation, otherwise, it will keep crashing with the same driver error.
If you don’t want to disable Controlled Folder Access, then click on “Allow an app through Controlled Folder Access” > Add an allowed app > locate RelicCardinal.exe from recently blocked apps > select Allow Program. This will also fix the Age of Empires 4 not launching issue.
Some players have also reported that verifying game files for Age of Empires 4 in Steam also fixes the crash at launch or crash during loading issue.
Your anti-virus could be blocking Age of Empires 4’s executable and causing the crash at launch. Players can fix this by either disabling the real-time protection in the anti-virus or excluding the game’s folder from it. Then verify the game files in Steam, launch Age of Empires 4 and it won’t crash anymore.
Right-click Age of Empires 4 in Steam > Manage > Browse Local Files. Locate the game’s exe and launch the game directly from it. Players will get an error similar to xinput1_4.dll is missing or “vcruntime140_1.dll or MSVCP140.dll was not found”.
Check under “XInput1_4.dll Missing Fix” below to see how to fix this particular error. To fix vcruntime140_1.dll or MSVCP140.dll was not found error, install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables both x64 and x86 versions. Launch Age of Empires 4 and it won’t crash anymore
XInput1_4.dll Missing Fix
According to Age of Empires 4 PC players, they are experiencing the XInput1_4.dll missing error when they launch the game from Steam or directly from its executable. To fix the XInput1_4.dll missing error, go to C:WindowsSystem32 and find xinput1_3.dll or xinput1_2.dll. Copy the file and paste it to Desktop and then, rename it to xinput1_4.dll. Place the renamed file back to C:WindowsSystem32. Launch Age of Empires 4 and the XInput1_4.dll missing error is now fixed.
Crash Fix
Age of Empires 4 PC players are reporting that the game is crashing while playing and here is how to fix it. If you are using in-game overlays like Steam in-game overlay or Geforce Experience overlay, then disable it as it can cause the game to crash. Open Steam and go to Setting > In-game > uncheck “Enable Steam overlay while in-game”.
Also, using third-party tools and software like RGB software, MSI Afterburner, or more can cause the game to crash while in-game. DIsable any such software that you are using and Age of Empires 4 won’t crash in-game anymore.
Since the game is relatively CPU_bound that are chances that your 4-Core or less CPU is causing the in-game crash. There isn’t anything players can do about it except for a couple of tweaks. Open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > Select Age of Empires 4. Set “Low Latency Mode” to Ultra and set Off for Tripple Buffering and hit apply. This will fix the Age of Empires 4 in-game crash issue.
Another thing players can try is limiting the game’s max FPS. This reduces the CPU and GPU load and keeps the game from crashing. Open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > Select Age of Empires 4. Enable Max FPS Limit and set the value for it. As a general rule, limit the game to 30 FPS if 60 FPS is your current target. If your current target is unlocked FPS, cap the game to 60 FPS. This will fix the Age of Empires 4 in-game crash.
That is all for our Age of Empires 4 fixes for errors and issues like XInput1_4.dll missing, crash at launch, and more. If you are facing errors and issues with other PC games or your PC then also see our hub for commonly occurring PC errors and their fixes.
