The graphics had a little boost but the game remains more or less the same. Perhaps the Steam Workshop will kick the game into overdrive? It's always been an amazing game and still is an amazing game, it's just disappointing how they had so many opportunities to fix some of the problems with AoE2 but didn't capitalize on any of them, and instead just implemented the exact same changes already done in Forgotten Empires(Unit cap increase, higher resolution support, etc etc) … Expandġ – GENERAL Age of Empires II HD it's a remastered version of the original isometric RTS game that we spend a ton of time playing when we were small brats! I really hope the developers at Hidden Path have more in store for us than what's been presented so far. It's not even successful, the game is still piratable and pirates can still play with eachother. Something pretty much everyone condemns EA and their ilk for. This reeks of sacrificing the game to hit piracy. Anyone that played it when it was still fresh knows what I'm talking about. What really irks me is that it's been completely stripped of LAN. I can't in good faith give this game the 7+ rating I sincerely want to give it. Everything the developers did with this release was already done with the Forgotten Empires mod, for free(Assuming you owned the original game).

The game has been out for a few minutes now while people know that the devs are doing their best to work on the issues, so please show some patience. As soon as they heard about this problem the devs posted on multiple multimedia sites and their own site that they are working on the problem right now. Regarding the framedrops: when we got the privilege to play the game before it is officially out doesn't mean they will have every bug fixed, otherwise they could just release it for everyone at that time. For the HD part: they managed to up the resolution to max and also retexture a 14 year old engine, which is pretty impressive in my opinion. I give a 10 to compensate for people who judge before a game is even out.
