Unable to download mods with chinese characters after this last DLC  
Since the new DLC, i´m unable to download mods with chineses characters.

1233 (类原版)大房中田和无碰贸易2026.9.26  
1233 For Stephen Chow (周星驰)2026.9.26

Such mods used to be able to download before this update. Once i download them, they show up in the folder C:\Users\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\…\mods\subscribed  
However the folders are empty.

But any other non-chinese mod I´m able to download and activate.

How can I fix this?

Maybe you should post a bug report about that, sems to be a critical issue.
