Age of Empires II HD: Performance Improvements & Open Beta on Now!

We have some great news for fans of Age of Empires II!

Our devs have been working tirelessly over the past few months to bring long-awaited changes in patch 4.8. You can find the full notes in the Steam link at the end of this post. Among the improvements is the return of MP restore, so you don’t have to worry about losing your progress in a match if you get disconnected. And speaking of getting disconnected, we’ve crushed a BUNCH of bugs that were causing desyncs, meaning your Age experience will be smoother and more stable than ever.

You can try out the performance improvements and balance changes right now by following the instructions here! Activate the open beta today and see what new awesome stuff awaits!
