@For newbie: Don't forget crack before launching the game (otherwise you will get the "no license" error). By doing one of the following:
Method 1: before installing the game, check the following box:
Method 2: or after installing the game, open the iso file, copy everything in the "RUNE" folder, then paste them to where you installed the game, enjoy ;) (see tutorial image here if you still dont know: https://igg-games.com/how-885614657-to-install-game-and-update.html)
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

SOO.. I finished the download and the game properly launched too but the multiplayer section is greyed out along with co op campaigns. can anyone tell me how to fix this? I did copy the files from rune directory. PLEASE HELP
I got the game run just fine.. the extracted size is 57GB (as i can see most of it was taken by the different language settings).
I think the AI for skirmish is error on this DLCs (Battle for Greece) ..
in skirmish: set antiquity mode on : AI won't make naval army (only few fishing boat to explore, korea: turtle ship just stay docking, and few viking boat instead of fishing boat) in skirmish: set civilization set to chronicles : AI won't even make a dock (either antiquity mode is on or off)
for now naval army will only be created with equity mode turned off
for everyone that have problems with crack you dont need crack instead you need to open the game by clicking on the steamclient_loader.exe for everyone else that knew this but didnt help the others like Yuuki Rito duck you
Weak/bad lamer crack by RUNE, "Game failed to initialize Steam. You must have Steam running." Tested a few ways include wine (that has default admin rights). Unfortunate. ;/
Still cant run it properly, it says "Game failed to initialize steam. You must have Steam Running". Already copied the crack from the ISO to the game DIR, also tried to run the exe with option like "nostartup skipintro", also tried deleting the movie folder.
Didnt solve it.
We need a new crack folder/update for this to work
it definitely worked, bro. Because I'm playing this version. BTW, you should uninstall the game, then reinstall it, in the installer, you "CHECKED" this checkbox
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 ;)

hello thanks for the upload, i am running the game on win10, right after the installation without messing with any files or settings, there are no sounds in game except for the narrator, i tried all the solution i found on the net but nothing seems to fix it, please help me cause it's not playable without sounds, at least for me
So, I downloaded the game to play multiplayer with my friends, and it's saying "Recconect to the multiplayer server" and the multiplayer button isn't working, how do I fix that?
Yes, but you need to install and use a 3rd party server, like voobly. Edit: That only works for older versions (most recent version is the "the conquerors" update), if you want to play something more recent then you'll need to buy it on steam
Hello , is it possible to play the dlc while having the game ? It said that steam_api64 was missing (it's not in codex folder), i copied it from my possessed game, then i got nothing .
i got u brudda Download Directx from : https://www.microsoft.com/e... Download steam_api.dll file from : https://www.dll-files.com/d... If still the problem exists.. try doing the following --- Copy and paste the dll file into your game folder --- Run Windows Update
Someone know whats required to install if game starts up but upon leaving lobby for game to start it quits? No errors thrown. Ive installed DX and VC that comes in CommonRedist folder.
(OPTION) Install the update version if they have the future in the link below: and where is the fucking link to the fucking updates? you do this on every game, yet no fucking link at all, ever. what the hell is this shit? where is the link
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
It’s a false positive. The method used to crack games is similar to the method used to code malware! Anti-virus programs will detect the crack as a virus and delete it, even though it isn’t! Like explained https://igg-games.com/virus-461012836-trojan.html .
Probably not, because the older version this has replaced was by CODEX. BTW if your on windows 7 don't download this, this version does not work with it. There is a hotfix which fixes that issue but I don't expect an update for that anytime soon.
game always crash in the middle... my specs definitly more than recomended. suddenly the game close and then.... nothing... the game close itself.. anybody have fix? or solution?
Single player is working for me, but have any one been able to get started with multi player on LAN or over the network, for me its just gets stuck at signing into multiplayer services?
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)
Now that AoE 2 DE is out do you think that AoE 2 HD zoom out problem is fixed ??? The fact that you couldn't zoom out was my reason to quit the game. Finally installed, fixed a problem (System error down below) just to know that my com cant handle it.DAMMIT is AoE2HD zoom out ok ????
The space is mostly different languages and the big HD 4k textures. the actual game is barely 8 gigabytes. you might need to get fit like some...girls, if you wanna have a lower size.
u need to install all the VC++ from 2005 i think till 2017 or try head for runtime all in one and install it but i recommend that u download everything and install it
@silcne03:disqus is multi player working for you? for me when i click on multi player it gets stuck on "signing into multiplayer services" although i do have signed into Xbox live account and allowed access via firewall.
I Installed the game but when I try to start it, it wont let me saying: "The minimum specifications for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition has not been met" ... Is there a way to outran that "error" and actually start the game?
The first Definitive Edition had a lot of holes in the game such as bad pathway and low population limit. I wonder if this Definite Edition is the same too.
help me game install fehler isdone.dll game not installing hallo leute will das game instalieren kommt aber ein fehler isdone.dll weis nicht wie ich das hinbekomme
Good news - It works on Windows 7 Ultimate. At least this igg version does. I tried it. I don't know about other Windows 7 versions working with this igg download. I do not know if Windows 7 working with igg means Windows 7 will also work with the Steam version.
When I upgrade something during the game for example units, they vanish and I can't use them. The same for some buildings (mill, market). Is it just a bug and I have to wait for update for this game or it's something wrong with the game?
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...

maybe any update for the AI file? thanks!
can't wait to play them!
for everyone else that knew this but didnt help the others like Yuuki Rito duck you
I am also stuck on the same screen. Can anyone assist?
WUT?!

Once downloaded, it will extract to the selected folder, so you need to go to that folder later and run installation file later.
Any advice, please?
Edit: That only works for older versions (most recent version is the "the conquerors" update), if you want to play something more recent then you'll need to buy it on steam
i hope IGG to upload it and update this game
Sry but i dont think you need that much vram for aoe2. xD

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)
The fact that you couldn't zoom out was my reason to quit the game.
Finally installed, fixed a problem (System error down below) just to know that my com cant handle it.DAMMIT is AoE2HD zoom out ok ????
the actual game is barely 8 gigabytes. you might need to get fit like some...girls, if you wanna have a lower size.
PLZ HELP IF ITS 3
I want you to update your graphics driver. Look it up if you're unfamiliar with the process.
