Welcome back explorers, and thanks for joining us as we dive into what’s new in the latest update for Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition!
Today’s update brings with it a number of exciting features and fixes as we strive to provide the very best experience possible. Curious what’s in store? Here’s just a small peek at what’s new in this update:
A new “extended” pop-out minimap feature, providing a better view of the battlefield!
A new “Home City Mini Deck” has been added to the in-game interface, allowing for more streamlined management of Home City shipments.
A new chat popover on the post-game summary screen.
Head on over to the link below to check out the full patch notes!
Economic gather points show the wrong resource symbol ~half the time. Axe when clicking on food, regular cursor when clicking on coin, meat when clicking on trees, etc.
Cannot levy minutemen as USA
severe performance issues (fps drops)
Units appear smaller (possible illusion due to larger HP bars)?
Yeah, every game I’ve played since the update is very laggy, other people are having the same issue. Also I can’t click to hunt a deer if it’s through the trees anymore, cursor will only have the ax symbol.
I also got a lot lagg after the update, and some how my video cart temp is jumping to 80 degrees in just 2 minuts of gameplay ( 2v2 AI) before the update my temp stayed at 50 degrees (1080 8GB Gforce)
With this update, my graphics also appear to be grainy and low res. Everything is on High.
Also, for whatever reason, when placing a building in an inappropriate location the red square no longer appears or appears cut off. Very annoying when trying to rotate buildings or placing walls.
Another thing I would like to mention is that when I played a game last night with my partner, they were unable to place a Market right next to their TC in Treaty mode.
I’ll see if verifying the game’s integrity on Steam will solve anything first before moving onto other options.
EDIT: Verifying the games files returned no abnormalities.
Hey everyone, we just released a hotfix to address some of the issues you’ve flagged for us. Please let us know if this helps and if anything else comes up or still needs to be addressed. Hotfix patch notes are at the bottom of the original patch notes and can be found directly here. Thanks for your patience!
Are you by chance playing on the Microsoft store version of the game? If so, the hotfix there just went live yesterday. Do you mind trying again and seeing if that helps?
