A complete mess in what way? I've been playing it just fine!

Edit:

Looked at the discussions. I haven't had many of those issues so I guess I'm lucky.

Mind you some of the 'bugs' are a bit daft. Some guy complained the trees were too big when in fact previously he had been playing a mod which made trees smaller. That's not a bug  :|

Other people are complaining that they hardly changed anything...which is kind of a dumb thing to say as it is essentially a re-release.

Some of the bugs are legit though. But at least the devs seem to be keen on addressing the issue. It isn't even at full release yet and they've started a couple of threads to compile bug reports, I can only assume so that they can fix things. It certainly isn't a mess though and lots of people have multi working and stuff. There's always some it won't work for.

Also the multi syncing issues are probably not helped by literally every multi-game trying to play 4vs4. I have yet to see a 2vs2 game or any other type. Also not helped by the mix of people playing. In the game I'm currently in there's 2 people with 500 ping, 2 with 50 and one with about 200.

Edit Edit: Yeah I just played an entire multi game 4vs4 with hardly an issue. A bit of lag but to be expected with 4vs4.

I could not care less for the improvements they made, I'm just exicted that there might be a more active MP community for AOE II again.

The MP is region locked so I can currently only see games in asia and there are tons. So I imagine in Europe there must be even more. The main issue I have with AoE multiplayer is the need for build orders and to rush. It seems every game I've played is who can rush the castle age, build a castle next to the town centre and then insta-win. I wish more games were a bit more relaxed so they made it to late game. I have yet to see someone reach imperial age. I think they sorely need to add a peace option. So for example you could set the first 30 mins of the game as forced peace.

Nope...a fatal flaw! You just have to hope you don't get into a game with some douchebags who are intent on finishing every game they play within 10 mins.

As much as I adore AoE II, I'm not paying fucking 17€ for a HD remake.
