Comment on Age of Empires II HD [Download] by ctny.
Great game, just as I remembered it!,
Here are the simple steps. I am on Windows 8.
– buy the game, you then download a small Amazon program which just puts 2 web pages on your desktop. 1 is the product key for Steam, other is for instruction to download Steam.
– follow the instruction to download Steam. Once Steam is installed, you will need to create an account.
– once in Steam, click “+Add a Game” in the lower left corner. Use the product key from Amazon. You then download AOEII, about 1.5gb.
– once the game is downloaded, click on the AOEII HD icon, Steam will launch again to run a first-time setup
– I first tried playing while on-line. I got a prompt to press some key combination if I wanted to jump into Steam Community
– I then exited and relaunched AOEII after unplugging the network cable. Worked fine, and I completed the first game. You can’t play multi-player mode while you are off-line.
The whole install took 10min while I did something else at the same time. If I focused on the install, it probably takes 5min. Didn’t experience any issue what so ever.
