Yeah, if I had to sum up what’s happening on this subforum, I’d say there are hundreds of unfixed bugs in the game, with little motivation from the developers to address them and almost no quality assurance. I’m still hoping things will improve - money talks, after all, and the latest DLC seems to have sold well. Maybe that will encourage them to hire more support.
In the meantime, I can help you restore your medals and campaign progress -with a bit of help from your side:
-
Complete at least one scenario from Victors and Vanquished, and make sure you’ve finished at least the first scenario of the Tamar, Ismail, and Thoros campaigns on any difficulty. (This ensures those campaigns appear in your profile file so I can update them easily.)
-
Once you’ve done that, send me your
Player.nfpfile. You’ll find it here:
<UserProfile>/Games/Age of Empires 2 DE/<long-number-folder>/profile/Player.nfp -
You can send it either here or via DM. I’ll open it in my tool and update your progress (e.g., mark all campaigns as completed on Hard).
-
When I send the edited save back, disable Steam Cloud temporarily before launching the game, or else your changes will be overwritten by the cloud sync.
-
Copy the fixed
Player.nfpfile back into theprofilefolder (same location as above). (Optional but highly recommended: Make a backup of your original Player.nfp before replacing it, just in case!) -
Finally, launch the game and check your restored progress!
Just a heads-up: I’d recommend not starting any other campaigns until you get your updated file back, just to avoid any extra confusion or conflicts.
