I think that you can upgrade using the oficial win10 installer from the windows official site, but that they just don't promote that.Those free mirror sites often contains virus in the downloadable software!

Hey everyone, first of all: indeed, it was a very short stream. E3 is a massive show and we were happy to be one of the games to get a little slot during the Mixer livestream.
I'll try to respond to a few things in this thread:
- Multiplayer: MP has been completely ripped out and built from the ground up, to be a server-based model. However, to know where we are exactly on MP, we need the community's input through the multiplayer beta. That beta will start soon and you can sign up through ageofempires.com.
- Pathfinding: I totally messed up during that video with the attack move, had various melee units in defensive/stand ground mode. We're experimenting with a setting which sets default stance for units to defensive and I forgot to turn it off. (note: this is optional, not forced)
- As many people mentioned: new QoL features are there to raise the skill cap, not lower it. Except we move the skill to the actual core of the game (strategy, execution), away from the ability to deal with the UI quickly. Or in other words: less fighting the UI, more fighting the enemy.
- Price point of Age2DE is $19.99, with a $5 discount for people who own HD. Bringing it down to $14.99.
So basically, the price of the new expansion ($9.99) and then $5 extra for everything else. Especially for people who are missing any expansions, that's a good deal.
Friiicking amazing!a new offical update from FE is here. It's pretty much confirming all the features that were (unoffically) listed on the German article that I shared before from reddit. I think the only new (and big) update is that it will have matchmaking.
Of course, HD Edition also got rid of DirectPlay. The only way to develop a DirectPlay game right now is to download an incredibly outdated DirectX SDK from 2007! Although HD Edition _only_ swapped out DirectPlay for Steam, and it sounds like DE has swapped out a much bigger part of the multiplayer code.We finally get rid of DirectPlay trash?

If there is no linked steam account or dxdiag information your signup didn't work.
Then you are signed up :D
People being invited into the beta isn't based on sign up time. If anything it would be pc specs or pure randomness.

Pathfinding is not significantly changed, due to how important it is to the character of AoE2.
How the multiplayer with server thing will work?
If the server is based in US, US players will play with 0 ping while south americans will play with 200-300?
If the server is based in Europe, european players will play with 0 ping and asians/south american players will play with 300-400 ping?
Because from what I heard players won't have the same ping as we do now in Voobly for exemple.
The pings will be individual per player and thus unfair.Because from what I heard players won't have the same ping as we do now in Voobly for exemple.
