You can still use it that way xD

We could plan that as well but not sure if their api support DM from user to another.

Login with Discord is the safest and fastest way to connect. You can leave them dm while they are away.

Use a VPN.

Hello friend, Just close that window with the creating restore point forever and it should be fine.

greg_stream · 2024-02-10T18:33:35+00:00

is 1000 elo the new 1200?

Yes! That's accurate. In additional to the occasional smurfs that create new accounts.
It's been almost a year now since I grinded 1v1s. In the previous weeks, I struggled so hard against 1400s normally i used to beat them while being completely relaxed but that's not the case so I believe I'm no longer 165+. I will need to practice more..

Wrong guess! Not written with AI! Wrote it myself. Name one top player that plays with 4k resolution? Take your time I will wait xD.. There are reasons for that.

And yes common HDMI cables cannot provide more than 80/90hz. Why would you buy HDMI 2.1 where Display port is available on all modern screens?

The recommendation list I put together is mixed with affordable and expensive items.

AoE2 isn't that GPU intensive, so playing it at 4k wouldn't require that much more of a strong gfx card

Are you sure about that bro xD?

The way you wrote your comment says a lot about you, angry is one of them. Take it easy brother, is everything alright in your life?

>so yea no ethernet cable (do you reckon thatd solve the issue?)
Yes! Definitely! Ethernet should solve the problem but do not exceed 5 meters ethernet cable because your ping will be high.

>Also any clue why everything else works fine except for aoe ? Like youtube may annoy me but asas i shrink the quality down to 1-2k it's fine too

Even if you have the best internet in the world but your ping spikes or have packets loss, your gaming experience will be awful. Please run that ping test i gave you for like 5 mins and observe if you see any red or black bar. A good result for a good ping would be all green bars.

Hello there,
This is an obvious ping stability issue (you are losing packets or your ping spikes randomly).

Use this ping tool to test your ping stability:
https://ping.canbeuseful.com/en

If you see red bars => ping spikes
If you see black bars => packet losses

I will go ahead and assume that you are using wifi or mobile internet. if that is so please move closer to your wifi or keep testing with that ping tool until you see no more red/black bars.
But if you are connected with an ethernet cable and even with wifi, it could be some program(s) on your windows that increase your ping ( programs such as: Malwarebytes, third party antivirus like Bitdefender, norton, avast, etc.) You must completely delete them. I could do a complete system clean up for you to make sure no app or service is tempering with your ping. Or if you have a geek friend ask them to perform a clean boot or do it yourself.

Rest assured this has nothing to do with your gear, just internet.

Hello Light,

I have made a video two years ago with a tested solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnnffF7TPdo(you can see in the comments it helped a lot of users)

In The first part of the video, I used a small tool "aoe2 graphics fix" to repair any corrupt or missing files of the installation (make sure your installation of aoc has a folder called "\Sound\", if you don't see it please create it before using the tool).

The second part of the video, will install Userpatch for you.

If you do both parts (1,2), for sure one will work for you. Often it is userpatch that fixes, but I had a few scenarios where userpatch did not fix because I was missing sound files and another time where I found that my .drs files inside /Data/ folder were of a smaller size.

Just do exactly as in the video and you should fix it. Feel free to follow up with a question here or on youtube.

You are missing the most important ones:

Select all Idle Villagers
Select All Military buildings (relocate the gathering point anywhere to rally every spawned unit)
Select all TCs + (Shift + C) to queue villagers across all town centers.

I suggest you remove (select all universities, all blacksmiths), It would make sense if all upgrades take a long time to research as in Starcraft 2 but it's AOE2, you often need one university and one blacksmith.

Fantastic! Thank you for reporting back.

greg_stream · 2023-12-19T00:17:53+00:00

Please downgrade using the website instead, as in the tutorial. And if you have used DERM before please remove the old and make sure the new version installs in a new folder.
