For those wanting a refund, steam's refund policy works like this:

- If the game has not been released yet(ie, AoE2 only released on the 9th), refunds can be given without any problem to your steam wallet by asking their support service
- If the game is removed from Steam without prior notice, they'll fully refund you on your wallet no questions asked(ex: The War Z) upon contacting their support.
- Otherwise, no refunds barring some really extreme case

steam support: http://support.steampowered.com

Such a shame that the very first game I refund on Steam is one of my very best childhood games.
Warning: do not nostalgia buy like I did. At least not until its been heavily patched.

hehe I did and I dont' regret it. I don't have any issues though either and even if I did I still wouldn't have regretted the purchase. There was a patch today for fps issues and seems to have fixed a lot of peoples.

I had some FPS problems last Saturday, but I only had the time to play 10 minutes and this morning I saw that a patch had come.

Even if it's not perfect, I don't regret buying it. It is AoE2. Plus, I got the pre-order achievement

Hmmm this painfully sums it up for those on the fence:

Well he sometimes exagerates and whine for nothing but the whole crashes, options not saving, etc is the real deal.

Wow, Steam support is fucking horrible. I sent in the ticket for a refund on the 5th and clearly explained why the game was broken and why I want a refund because I cannot play it..

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

If you are having issues accessing the early build of the game before 4/5/2013, the game will not work.

Have you tried to validate the game's cache (Right-click game in your library -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity of Game Cache)? I can't say that it'll work, but when I did it with a game that I had previous problems with (Krater), it downloaded some file that was corrupt/missing/whatever and solved the problem. When I did it with AoE2HD just recently, it downloaded something that was 1.8 MB small,

The game isn't even officially released yet. 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.

Is that suppose to be a counter argument?

Hello dear steam consumer support,

As a pretty big Steam consumer, but for the first time ever, I have to ask for a refund on a game that just doesn't work.
I bought AOE2 HD to get what was advertised: working on current PC technology and the ability to get easy quick matches.

Sadly the game for many users feels like a scam. It crashes every hour, is a lag and drop fest. It reminds me of the scandal that was War-Z. Please, this game should be removed from steam until fixed.

Please, I have always had the best experience with Steam and its my go to platform to get game. Can you please provide me a refund for the game (it was around 17$) ?

A sad consumer.

Hello,

I'm sorry but did you check the date of my message ? It is made the 6th, not before the 5th...

Also, my problems are pretty general to the game and many users.

I'm still asking for a refund to what I consider a faulty product.

Thank you.

As noted above. I use windows 7.

My issues with this product are:
-Crashs to desktop when selecting some features
-Doesn't save any parameters from the options
-Multiplayer is atrocious due to lags, player drops and a faulty matchmaking system

I still ask for a refund

Hello XXXXX,

As requested, we have processed a refund to your account.

Your bank or credit card issuer will return the funds to your account - please allow 3-5 business days for the funds to be posted.

Please note that we do not normally offer refunds on purchases made online. However, we will make an exception and refund titles that are still listed as available for Pre-Purchase on our website. The refund request must be received prior to the official release date for the item. You can see when a pre-purchased title is scheduled to officially unlock by viewing the green information bar on its store page.

This only applies to preorders purchased from your account; preordered titles received or sent through the Steam Trading system cannot be refunded. We do not offer refunds for Early Access Games.

Out of curiousity, why are you guys even bothering to buy the new version? 20 bucks for a slight bit of additional support and probably not that noticable graphics doesn't seem like a good deal. Maybe 5 or 10, but 20 is steep as hell.

It's super easy to download this illegally with a crack. I don't even hesitate with this, as I owned the original and expansion way back in the day, so I feel pretty okay doing it since I already paid the developer money.

My friends and I just play this over game ranger (just had a game this weekend!).

Age of Forgotten Empires is also pretty sweet (It's an unofficial expansion).
I await the reminiscent nerd chills I will get when I hear a Korean broadcaster yell "WEEAAAAVVVVVUUUHHH" while watching Dota

My friend and a bunch of his friends bought it and I decided to play with them.

Anyway we're all disappointed as hell. I was expecting a good multiplayer ui for finding games and better compatibility changes. What did we get? No graphics options and constant crashing.

Match making (albiet doesn't work very well right now) but also multiplayer.

I am having no issues like a lot of people are so I dont' have any complaints. Easily worth 20$ to me and I wouldn't download this illegally because I have no reason to. 20$ isn't that much, with multiplayer support for a game I love it's been a blast. I have put more hours into aoe2HD then I have in games I spend more on.

It's all about how much would you play it and what not. I mean look at the starcraft battle chest it's still 20$ and people still buy that and that games been out for over 10 years and hasn't been remade in HD.

Literally I am getting games in seconds right now which is very nice and lots of games to choose from ^_^
