If only it scaled to 300 archers over broadband.
This game is amazing and has aged so well. The only downside is the network pauses and out-of-sync errors that inevitably happen 40 minutes into a two-player game.
I can't remember the last time I didn't set the population limit to 75 in an effort to alleviate network issues.
- cdiddy2 8y agoplay on voobly instead, its so much more stable
- voltagex_ 8y agoWhy? What has Steam done that makes it so bad?
- mrkeen 8y agoNo I found the Steam version to be a faithful reproduction of the original. I had these out-of-sync issues back in the days of passing age2 around as a folder at LANs.
- cdiddy2 8y agoIts not really steam that is bad, but the AOE2 games netcode that is poor. There are a lot less 'wait for sync' issues with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfXg3QQymaU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfXg3QQymaU
