I'm not that old
Sigh, I'm definitely very old....
I'm remember Playing AOE II First when the files still 128 mb, Then Expansion conquerors 260mb, and then HD 3.5 GB, and latest definitive 34 GB...

I was excited to download this until I saw this download size. I know its not true here but in general there is a blatant inverse relationship between game quality and game size. The higher rez your grass has the less work you put into the actual game in my experience. The last game over 5GB I played was Roller Drome at like 7GB and that I've had a better gaming experience these last few years than any time before like 2010

If you got problem about no sound, try copy game's folder to program files, and start game from that

Run "steam_client.exe". For some reason the AOE2 executable automatically opens to steam.

I downloaded the game with no issues, extracted the files with no issues, but the moment install it and try to play it takes me to steam. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it multiple times already. Now I am not sure if I should delete all the files and redownload all of them again or if someone could give me an easy fix for this please.

Because you still not crack it before start game. After install, you must open .iso file, you will see "RUNE" folder, copy all files in that folder and paste to your game's dir, enjoy ;)

You can see tutorial here too (it same for almost games):

Fixed it by installing this direct x:

Once downloaded, it will extract to the selected folder, so you need to go to that folder later and run installation file later.

It's rather disgusting how Microsoft has been milking AOE2 for so long, there is little reason to play this over the original release and its only true expansion unless you really want to experience the subpar new content. 30 GB for such an old game seems rather overkill.

not just that.. it takes more ram and processing power, so whats new with this will only truly be realised if you play it. they havent filled it up with nonsense and we know it. theres a whole lot of reason to play it over the original release. you cant play the original in 4k. it looks wayy cooler than the original, while maintaining all original features. its an evergreen game and microsoft knows it. its old but always always gold. Are they charging the owners of the old version any less for this one? If not, they are disgusting yesss

What Operative system are you using? seems like windows 10, but that looks like a windows xp problem.
It has to do with Java. Try uninstalling and re-installing Java to the lastest version. Besides that, update your drivers with some program (i recommend driver boost)

  3. Or there is a seperate file somewhere.

Indeed, they're apples to oranges, but it made for a good comparison when talking about content vs size.
Avatar
☕️ Stephanie Bogard 🇮🇹
I looked at screenshots and videos on Steam and it looks like Age of Empires II HD, with lots of bloom, so you actually see LESS details...(unless you zoom a lot and/or have a giant screen) And the game is like 10 times bigger...
I wonder if this is worth it.🤔
You do get 4 new civilizations, though...
Btw, I'm confused by some topics on the Steam forums... Some people say that this game is actually just an "addon"? They say they actually updated Age of Empires II HD and got a new DLC... I don't get it... So, does this replace Age of Empires II HD?🤔

The size can tell you the amount of content a game has to offer, So the bigger it is the more content it holds. :})
Hide Replies 6

Balthor
I used to think like that, but it's quite misleading. "Content" is more than just size, the latest AAA games (let's take CoD BO4 for example) have dozens upon dozens of GBs of assets and files, sometimes exceeding 100gb, but they're very shallow and don't have much content. The original Skyrim, or any Elder Scrolls game, is under 10gb (if I remember correctly, it's been 8 years haha), and it has hundreds of hours of real, tangible content. With CoD you've experienced all the multiplayer has to offer in 14-20 hours max, and when it includes a campaign (BO4 didn't IIRC), it's rarely over 6 hours long.
Then you have some more extreme examples, games like Slay the Spire that are only a few hundred megabytes and have tons of highly replayable content, or hell, old-fashioned roguelikes that barely reach 100mb and can potentially be played for thousands of hours!
I think size is telling of how much content certain specific kinds of games have. But most of the time, in this day and age, size is only an indicator of how "high quality" (or badly compressed! lol) the assets, music, voices, etc. are, regardless of how lacking the actual game is.

I like to bring up Witcher 3 in such discussions as it has lots of content and good graphics, far more voice acting and is still far smaller in size (GOTY edition with all DLC und latest patches) than games like Wolfenstein - The New Order. Witcher being around 35 gigs and Wolfenstein being 47...

Yeah, exactly. Though I think the ID engine has something to do with the size: all the games made with it in recent years (DOOM 2016, Wolfestein reboot 1 & 2, etc.) are all huge in size, but not that big in terms of assets even!

'Course it's not always the case, Nevertheless it at least applies to this game. As to your examples, I'm not really familiar with first person shooter games, However i noticed they tend to have little content despite the massive amount of storage they require.

That's good to hear. The comparison was purely to make a simple example with well known titles, but yeah, most modern FPS games are way too big for how little they offer. Back in the day, though, they were a genre were you could usually tell the length of the campaign by the size!

Generally size doesn't automatically equals to more content, it can just be unnecessarily bloated files, ever heard of .kkrieger playable beta from 2004 (if i am not mistaken)? thats a lot for a 95.0 KB single file.

This thread is honestly one of the worse i've seen on this site.
Anyone can literally just google "windows 10 activator" or something and you will get any windows version activated, with no need to reactivate and you can also update it whenver you want.
You get no issues whatsoever (if you're not an iliterate at computers) And you uninstall all the bloatware to play any game you want with no worries about future assistance. Get your stuff together, people.
I mean, if you can buy it, buy it, if not, just pirate it but don't do be a dummy about it.
