Age of Empires II HD: Open Beta 5.2a – Available Now.

Thank you for your ongoing feedback and support!

Feedback from 5.2 has been positive so far and we have identified an additional area for optimization based on the community’s observations around late game performance. We have included this improvement, along with a few bug fixes, into this small update. So far our internal testing has shown improvement but we look forward to hearing what you think before we transition this build to the live branch!
