PC Specs
The reason I bought this game is because it is optimized for windows 7. AOE 2 has graphic glitches on windows 7
PC Specs
Turn off the "Explorer.exe" in the Task-Manager while playing.
You can start it later again, when you stop playing.
PC Specs
This game goes incredibly laggy after some population !! Does anyone have a solution? I don't even think or consider my rig is not powerful enough :DD
PC Specs
IKR. You got a nice rig right there so I guess the problem really is, lack of optimization. And I also can't believe they didn't add a resolution change menu. Waste of money, just copy-paste and add HD at the end of the tittle.
PC Specs
Yeah, it's true. The game is too demanding for an 2D game ...
PC Specs
I dunno man, I haven't noticed anything on my rig and it's way weaker than yours. Maybe I haven't been building big enough armies :D
PC Specs
If there's no population limit in HD version, i'll buy it
PC Specs
But the game isn't that interesting
PC Specs
Maybe--but it's classic and make me remember those good old days, lumberjack, robinhood, blackdeath............lol
PC Specs
I also love this game though :D
PC Specs

PC Specs
You dont say.....maybe everyone can run this game :D
PC Specs
Very poor game. Same as previous Age of empire II. Don't waste your money.
PC Specs
Anyway i am downloading them from internet so i'll check it out
PC Specs
will i run this game ? on what settings /
PC Specs
I think you will be able to play this game on Medium settings. :D
PC Specs
this games is poorly optimized to me and some other people. I tend to get uneven fps and such with hardly any units at time :( plz Microsoft fix this for everyone!
PC Specs
I can play on max at 9500FPS according to fraps.
PC Specs
If you can play this game with this FPS what about my rig LOL :D
PC Specs
Guess he's lying, or he's talking 'bout the old one ...
PC Specs
can i play this maxed out? fps? :3
PC Specs
easily buddy... the game isnt demanding at all u r good to go.. enjoy
PC Specs
thanks
PC Specs
so funny how they "Remade" this game,they put unnoticable diffrences in graphic and moving water, before it wasn't moving but in AoE 1 it is which was strange put bigger population limit,and now they are selling this game like its something new xd,they could just realease patch to fix all stuff
PC Specs
really poor remake...they only thing that is changed is water, other is all same, and ciliffs look diffrent but in bad way
PC Specs
WTF!!
Are you sure about this??
PC Specs
Let's not forget that a cool upgrade would be the Steam workshop and achievements. Animations are also amped up. I think this is a nice re-make. Yes, could have been better but it doesn't need to be. AOE2 is a great game nonetheless.
PC Specs

PC Specs
Did you feel the deference in graphics between this one and the previous release?
And how about the movement and combat mode in this one,Has it been changed too?
PC Specs
Hello ?!
PC Specs
Personally I feel the textures and graphics have been definitely ramped up.
But I'm not sure why, it still looks quite dated.
I read somewhere that it might be due to the fact that they use sprites instead.
Movement and combat has no noticeable update, but animations and all actions in general seem more fluid.
Just my two cents.
PC Specs
Nice :)
PC Specs
Lol! the cobra, those memories... ahh
PC Specs
Even Pentium II with 500Mhz can run this but i am surprised when i saw game debate's system requirements which is dual core for that game huh :)
PC Specs
I guess its because it is an HD edition?
PC Specs
These are the official minimum and recommended requirements.
PC Specs
Mostly cause the new (after vista, or even xp) OSs demand more power for themselves :/
PC Specs
I can barely contain my nostalgia!
PC Specs
hahaha its some time I played this game :-D
PC Specs
How do you turn this on?
PC Specs
Loving this game its so cool :)
PC Specs
the achivments dont work so they will have to fix that but the game great already played 5 hours now off to play my wii u and lego city undercover yes i maybe 26 but its pretty funny and lots to collect :)
PC Specs
I have gotten 9 achievements so far o.O My only problem is that I cannot see the menu buttons. Single Player, Multiplayer, etc. Tried re-installing and didn't do anything -_- but the game works nonetheless.
PC Specs
Isn't it slowing down when map gets crowded? It slows down when i'm playing :S
PC Specs
Figured the problem out. Restart computer. :P And I notice the slowing down with maps bring crowded on multiplayer. Single player I'm not really having problems with... :)
PC Specs
weird :S in single player, i am having hard time to scroll the map and my units are moving after 2 seconds i give them the move order :D i think they are lazy :D
PC Specs
Oh trust me it doesn't help my skills xD I still need to re-learn the strategies of this game!
PC Specs
ah ok single player i have no problem i havent played multiplayer as of yet so i cannt tell you about that no fps drop in single player though my achivments are still stuffed up as it says i have won 100 battles out of 999 when i havent won that much hope theres an update soon to fix that :)
PC Specs
with my settings how much FPS I can acquire ??
PC Specs
60 with vsync or else 100+
PC Specs
thanks !! XD
PC Specs
no problem. was that question serious. cos you have a monster rig and its an hd remake of a 1 year old game.
PC Specs
yes i'm not joking, this game is getting around 30 FPS, is so strange !!
PC Specs
Who ever try this game guys ??? and what the different ???
PC Specs
I tried but couldn't see any difference except full hd resolution and some effects. It slows down after the map is crowded :S I might be wrong :D I'd like to hear other experiences.
PC Specs
Owh ..., thank buddy ... :)
PC Specs
I have win 7. Maybe it is not so optimized for 7. Or maybe i am wrong :D still not sure :D
PC Specs
can i run this with high resolution?
PC Specs
sure :)
PC Specs
i'm still waiting
