I set the game to full screen(Alt+Enter) and my mouse is locked into the window as long as I don't alttab. If I do alt tab, the game pauses and the music stops(which is sad =( I hoped for a better unfocus support), but the game runs fine for me, even with the mouse confined on the window. If it helps, I am using Windows 8. On the other hand, is there a place where I can learn how to play AoE2 competitively? @wherebugsgo any suggestions?  | ||

If you want to play a team game it takes forever because no one plays 2v2 it seems, or the game will suddenly crash. As for game play it is super fucking laggy. Rant: It is an old ass re-release that is a cash grab, and they can't even release the game without so many bugs and laggy multiplayer? I would recommend against it, as it's super buggy and overpriced. Proof of global rank #98: http://i.imgur.com/pbWKKCq.jpg | ||

No MMR, it matches you against random people regardless of skill everytime I am undefeated and #98 in the world. There is no challenge because matchmaking is just random shitty people. I am at least 30-0, it doesnt keep track of win/loss. That being said I am high master in SC2.

I was really looking forward to this game, but looks like Microsoft just wants to half ass things that could be really great re-releases. You make it sound like even if they patched it, there are so many problems that it wouldn't be worth their effort to fix everything. I'm sad now :[ | ||

You need a regular install of the game (but let's be honest...not hard to get that) and you download the Voobly client; if you've ever played on MSN Zone, it's basically like that. The game gets patched and you join one of the lobbies and you can browse for games (or host one). At 0 games played you may get kicked a few times before someone is willing to play with you, but once you get around 5-10 games it stops being a problem. Usually you can get a new acct up to that within several hours or so. edit: if you mean learn how to play by reading something, the #1 best thing to do is read this: http://aok.heavengames.com/university/strategy/random-map/flush/ Master that strategy, basically it's used almost every game in 1v1s (if it's not used, a variation of it called the drush is used; the only difference is that you make 3 militia in age 1 by mining 10 gold, use them with your scout to harass, delay your feudal age time for a better economy, and then flush normally) I would suggest watching players like DauT (probably the best AoE2 player ever) Viper, Chris etc. There's a DauT vs Chris series on youtube with like 20 games or something ridiculous like that. Here's a Hun war that might or might not be good (haven't looked at it) | ||

Half the time the thing dont even work and when it does its choppy as hell. I would gladly wait for fixs but seeing how its shit right now, they probably have tested nothing before hand. I have no confidence in them working hard to fix the issues. | ||

I cannot even believe this game was tested before the 5th. That's too bad because from the few games I was able to play okay-ish, it was fun to replay that game. | ||

This is the four day period where if you bought the game early at a discounted price you could have early access to it. There's a lot of whining about bugs and I admit it's frustrating that I can't even play the game because I'm on XP but the game doesn't officially come out until Tuesday. If there's still all of these errors by then bitching is a bit more understandable. | ||

It's extremely unlikey that they'll fix this stuff in a couple days if they weren't able to in what, months or at least weeks prior. | ||
