    Just stopped working.

    I try to start it from steam, got the little black windows saying "starting empires" then the whole screen blinks once but nothing else.

    I deleted the local content and re installed empires but still same issue.

    I downloaded gary's mod and that one started ok.

    Dont know what else to do... any ideas on where to look?

    Is it -autoconfig or just autoconfig on its own?

    It can be a + in some certain circumstances I think, but yeah, I was 99% sure it wasn't just "autoconfig" on its own.

    the -autoconfig worked.

    it started empires in 1024x748 (or something like that) with no mouse. I was able to change it to a higher resolution in windowed mode so the mouse would show up..

    now..

    was it -noborder -windowed?

    -windowed not -window

    And put the -windowed before -noborder
