Not to mention that 16GB graphical update seems a bit ridiculously large.įinally, zooming. This computer does not meet that requirement. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition minimum specification recommends at least 2GB of dedicated VRAM. Definitive Edition has been developed by Forgotten Empires a studio responsible for remastering the first series’ installment. I get 2 messages when I start AoE 2: Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition minimum specification requires a DirectX 11 compatible display adaptor. Similarly to the original, released in 2000 by Microsoft, the game is available on PC. I can't even imagine trying to play this with minimum requirements of 4GB. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition is a remastered and improved edition of Age of Empires II the second installment in the best-selling real time strategy series. Why in the world does this thing list 30 GB as the required space 3 campaigns and 4 civs, especially considering how many civs and campaigns are in the original game, do not take up that much room. AOE2 currently lists 2 GB required hard drive space. With HD textures, it's 20GB+ !!!Ĭonsidering recommended system requirements are 8GB RAM, seems it needs better optimization to meet 8GB recommended. Very high hard drive requirement Question. Without Ultra HD textures, system RAM usage is 12-13GB. There's literally no way someone with a meager system can adjust settings to make it meet the 1000 score requirement by adjusting settings.
I believe this, in turn, is responsible for having the same benchmark result regardless of what graphics settings are used. Windows PC Requirements Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10 64bit Processor: 2.4 Ghz i5 or greater or AMD equivalent Memory: 8. My six core system is only using 12% CPU utilization (70-80% of a single core mainly - others under 10%). It seems this is strictly a graphical update to the game because it feels like it lacks any optimization, especially for modern hardware.ĬPU optimization seems to favor a single thread. I've only had an hour or so with it so far, but these are my initial thoughts. I was a big RTS fan from the 1990's through early 2000's, including Age of Empires, so I bought this version without much thought. I guess I didn't know what to expect from AoE II Definitive Edition, since I just happened to stumble upon this release.
