My installation is stuffed up all of a sudden, but going from memory: windowed and fullscreen, and you can arbitrarily resize the window really easily.this is pretty amazing
have they added resolution options to AOEII HD? havent played since release
I heard the HD Edition turned out kinda... bad and overpriced? Did they fix the multiplayer lag?
But yeah, this sounds great as I'm mainly a SP gamer anyway.
MS and the studios they've contracted to support the game have been very good about supplying the goods: perf is a lot better (definitely helps that they've unlocked the fps and added in an option for vsync), MP is a lot more stable, and they've even thrown in engine improvements like bigger selection sizes (it's at 60 units at present, I believe). It's a solid effort, and I honestly say it's part of what is really making this particularly irked Age fan come around.Wow, awesome. Has performance gotten better since launch?
I bought the HD edition of AoE 2 from Steam the other day, but it won't run on my computer. Turns out there's a bug where the game will not run if you only have the built in Intel GPU on your motherboard even though it's just a slightly updated version of a ~15 year old game. This is kind of absurd when you consider that I played this game in the 90s with average specced computers with no graphics card. That being said, AoE 2 is one of my favorite games ever, and I'd love to see some new content.

This is my question as well, have they fixed any of the issues that were there around launch?
The creators of said fan project are working on it alongside Skybox Labs and MS (who are also working on their own additions), this isn't a smash and grab for the latter two.So wait, this is going to be paid DLC, or am I misunderstanding that last line? Because as cool as this is, it's pretty uncool to make a free fan project paid DLC.
It's seemed fine to me for a while now, but as before, poor player connections are going to mean poor gameplay. I played a four person FFA with some Euros (I'm west coast Canada) earlier today and it seemed solid.The multiplayer lag is fine now?
You're paying for the HD. Like how AOE2:HD wasn't free, neither were the other expansions in the series, this is not a surprise at all.So now I have to pay for something I've gotten free, or what?

The Forgotten is an admixture of FE content + Dev content, and both fan and dev alike are earning money from this. Forgotten Empires won't suddenly become un-free, either.Yeah, but this was a free fan expansion/mod, and now they're charging for it with the HD edition.
I understand paying for the game, and official expansions, and re-releases, but picking up a fan project and making it official, then charging for it... I don't really agree with that.

first official expansion for Age of Empires II in 14 years
Fixed in a prior patch, but you might need to play a game to shake 'em loose.They still haven't fixed the achievements, have they?
Will buy the moment is released. can not wait for the new campaigns (Specially Dracula and turks one).
