Command mighty civilizations from across Europe and the Americas or jump to the battlefields of Asia in stunning 4K Ultra HD graphics and fully enhanced audio. Now featuring Continued. Hi, i noticed that the game can reach with last patches (?) 60 fps or over. I googled in these days but i have not found guides about. Actually my games run on an average of 25-35 fps depending on how much trash there's on the map. I know it's not a lot, i already have switched off graphical features (antialiasing, 3d water rendering, vsync). I think the game isn't really too heavy. The Enhanced Graphics Pack increases Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition to ultra-high fidelity resolution. Before you attempt to install, please make sure that your system requirements meet or exceed the minimum specs for this content. Starting the game doesn't change it. 1s playing with normal FPS, 8s frozen screen, including mouse cursor. Enabling V-Sync didn't change anything. Until May, it was working flawlessly, this problem started with the June update of AoE II DE and persisted for all updates following that one. Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is available now exclusively on the Windows 10 Microsoft Store for $19.99. Age of Empires DE review. Buy at Microsoft Store (Digital).
