Age of Empires, Age of Mythology e pure Rise of Nations

Ho visto un paio di screen della scheda steam ed effettivamente alcuni modelli non sono il massimo.
Onestamente non mi aspettavo che la rilasciassero così presto, solo un paio di mesi fa hanno pubblicato Afrikan Kingdoms, oltre al loro gioco alcuni giorni fa.

Whew, what a list!

Can't launch the game?
The launcher also now requires the Visual Studio 2015 Redistributables as well as the game. If previously you could hit the play button on the launcher, and then mysteriously nothing happened. Now when folks with this issue hit "Play Game" in Steam, the launcher will crash and pop up with an error for a missing dll file. It's not a full fix, but at least it lets you know something is happening!
We’re working on a fix for that, but until then, we have a temporary workaround that you can view in this thread.

That’s it for Hotfix #2! Let us know how things are working for you in the comments below, and have fun out there!

Cambiando leggermente argomento, esistono per caso delle "AI" personalizzate per Age of Empires 2? Su altri titoli se ne trovano ed aumentano esponenzialmente il livello di sfida (e quindi la longevità) nel single player, rispetto a quelle standard contro le quali basta "tenere" all'inizio e poi il più è fatto...

Ti consiglio di cercare su heavengames (http://aok.heavengames.com/) e sul workshop (http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/b...0&requiredtags[]=Artificial+Intelligence), con Forgotten Empires hanno aggiunto alcune ia di default.

Visto che Rise of Nations è in offerta di nuovo, qualcuno vuole condividere con me l'acquisto di un 4pack?

Grazie, mo' guardo

Age of Empires III Server Upgrade and Beta Test!



The New Servers Are Coming!

Update 2/5/2016: We’ve added new information to this post, as well as a way to sign up for the server beta! Changes include an update on the plan for handling multiplayer data from matches played during the beta test, and a new date for the beginning of the beta test window.

All of you Age III fans might want to sit down, because we’ve got some big news: We’re upgrading to new servers for Age of Empires III! This is happening very soon, and you can sign up below to help beta test the new servers! The first test session for the new servers will begin on Friday, February 12, but you can sign up now using the tool at the end of the post!
Want more info? Allow me to break it down!
Why the upgrade?

Way back in September, we promised to bring our servers up to modern standards. The hardware that’s been hosting Age III has been near the end of its life cycle for a while, and this has caused problems for our dedicated player base. We knew it was time to move on to server hardware that worked with more modern systems; it was just a matter of finding the right tools for the job!
What will this fix?

Primarily, this will fix the stability issues that have been caused by our aging hardware, so the ESO service should be much more reliable. That’s not all, though! There are a host of other issues that this upgrade will address, including making it much less difficult to recover lost passwords.
How will it affect me?

For the most part, it won’t. It will take a few weeks to fully implement the transition, but you’ll still be able to play online during that time. We found a way to keep the multiplayer data from the old servers during the beta test, so you won’t lose any progress* from multiplayer matches played on the current community servers during the test. However, we WILL wipe multiplayer data from the beta servers after we make the final transition.

*We may still have to wind the clock back by up to 24 hours when we fully implement the servers, but we will give you as much warning as possible in that case. Previously, everyone was going to lose up to a few weeks of game data, so a loss of only 1 day is a great improvement!
How can I help?

We will need players to test the servers and make sure they’re really up to snuff. You can sign up by entering your name and email below. We will begin the first test session on Friday, February 12. We will update this blog with a more specific time (and alert the beta testers via email) as the date draws nearer. The first test session will run until approximately February 15, and we’ll evaluate the need for further tests after that. follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest updates!
SIGN UP NOW!

To join the beta test, simply enter your name and email below. You will receive a confirmation email containing instructions for joining the new server once our test period begins. We will also shoot you a brief reminder each time a new test session begins, and a final email at the end of the beta.



Thanks to everyone for their help! We can’t wait to make our game and our community even more awesome!

Age of Mythology: Tale of the Dragon ~ Post Mortem
by Cysion | Feb 10, 2016 | Age of Mythology | 17 Comments

Another expansion for the legendary “Age of”-series, this time on its mythical spin-off “Age of Mythology”. Let’s take a look at some of the things that happened behind the scenes, the good and the bad!

This post mortem focuses on the story from the side of the FE team, being us. Not on Microsoft or Skybox Labs, or any of the other partners who helped develop the game.

Patch 2.2
Desyncs

Fix for rare Chinese Barrage God Power desync. It was based on the meteor power, but wasn't using LandSfx, and that value was uninitialized, so when it became valid on one machine, it would desync (value had to be 0-900 out of a range of 4 billion). This was quite similar to the restoration desync that was fixed in an earlier patch.
Fix for rare desync involving Ulfsark Starting units after being killed. May have affected other new units such as Alfred or any of the new DLC units, including the Chinese town center upon resign. Regenerating protoanimextents.dat file was needed (adding all new units since the Titans expansion shipped).
There is still an outstanding desync involving resigning that we are still looking into but we have improved diagnostics that have been exposed to this patch release to help catch it.


Mod Manager

Additive God Powers and Random Map scripts now work again when they aren't contained within a versioned subfolder.
Optimized startup time of Mod Manager and modded files are no longer listed twice (that was not the only optimization).


General

Some fixes pertaining to tech trees and hotkeys in 2.0 were accidentally nuked by the introduction of the Version system in 2.1 and they are back.
