in a few days, but you can get it now by right clicking on AoE 2 in your steam library -> properties -> betas -> performance
If the "performance" option doesn't show, restart steam

New Options:

Object Shadows Anti-aliasing (Enabled by default in builds prior to 2.2 for the improved shadows). Disabling may help improve performance & allow for expanded GPU support with some older Shader model versions.
Enable VSYNC option (can help reduce load on higher end GPUs)
Clamp mouse to window when in foreground
Quick match speed default to normal but can be changed to fast
Display mode options from main menu: Windowed, Fullscreen, Fullscreen Desktop (for multi-monitor)
Fullscreen desktop requires monitors to have matching vertical resolutions. Mismatched resolutions resulted in truncated UI and was disabled. You can still drag the game in windowed mode across multiple monitors.

Gameplay Modification:

Added nine additional grouping hotkeys and made group creation / selection keys modifiable.
After getting the patch you may be forced to re-create your hotkey file.
Group hotkeys can be changed by accessing options -> Hotkeys -> Game Commands.
Group Selection hotkeys cannot be modified by alt or shift keys, as these keys have special meaning in game (e.g. alt + group selection key = select and center on)
If multiple buildings of the same type are selected, unit training will sequentially be divided amongst buildings (Multiple building unit queues)

Bugfixes:

Missing grey background behind some tooltip text resolved (to improve text clarity)
Localization fixes
Unlocalized Launcher Buttons
Missing campaign text
Unlocalized Russian UI
Additional various localization fixes
Additional Achievement fixes
Trebuchet attack range fixes
Various campaign crashes due to string length overflows
Game ‘win’ counter should increment correctly
Quickmatch Map Size properly filters based on map size chosen
Performance warning typo fixes
Fixed AI files not being unpacked properly from workshop mods
Fixed workshop downloading only one update per launch of the game

Other:

When getting booted from the game, you will return to the main menu. This is by design due to the gameflow and how the title processes game information.
Gameplay version changed to 2.3
Matchmaking settings changed to the ‘widest’ setting permitted by Steam’s system.
Users may see different game lists for several reasons including:
User location (the system should return games that present a better play experience first)
Game legitimacy
Steam account standing
Filters
Please note when joining games that high pings may result in poor gameplay experiences.

i wish they just had a Grid option for hotkeys :/
itd take forever to rebuild it.

Attack move (naturally T) doesnt seem to work.

Multi-Building Queueing doesnt work half the time, as well. Saw this last night.

Lastly: still need to improve on lag in 8 player games D:

Is this the most efficient way? Is there a patrol-move or anything? I haven't played this in 15 years and I didn't know anything back then
