AGE OF EMPIRES 3 MULTIPLAYER, ERROR:DIFFERENT VERSION

[sxbmb]

HI everyone i have age of empires 3 and it works perfectly my roomate has the same game and its works perfectly.He's is the chinese version of the game when we try playing multiplayer via LAN the there is an error that says DIFF VERSION is there like a patch that could fix the problem coz my roomate is chinese and he doesn't want to convert his game to the english version.

Is the problem definately becuase you have different versions "out of the box", or has one of you patched the game and the other hasn't?
