Hello and happy Wednesday to all of our
Definitive Edition adventurers!
Update 28529 is aimed at fixing at some of the more recent pain points you've helped identify over the last few weeks: including issues with the
multiplayer lobby and
match setup,
villager pathfinding,
region selection, and a handful of other areas. Your feedback has been invaluable in helping us identify the issues preventing you from playing or enjoying the game, so be sure to grab the new build, check out the notes below, play with the changes, and—most importantly—let us know whether they've fixed the issues at hand. The best place to do so is on the official game forum:
You are also encouraged to come visit us on Discord, where you can organize games, troubleshoot issues, engage with the development team, and interact with other
Age of Empires players:
We look forward to hearing what you think of
Update 28529, and we'll see you on the battlefield!
