Enhanced Graphics Pack FAIL

[Chun Da Ye]

So some weeks ago it all worked fine and now suddenly it uninstalled itself or something and its greyed out and I can't re-enable it.......

[Destructo]

Same. Just installed the game and when i click download it just launches the standard game

I got the game last week and from the start it was greyed out and i never was able to install it.

Did you install the dlc? I know it required me to do that back then. Thing is it worked for me some weeks ago and now I wanna play the game again and see that I can no longer use it but nothing has changed on my end.

Some windows update or driver update??? Dafuq is this?

Microsoft kindly go **** yourselves I already had plenty of shenanighans like this with Forza Horizon 3. Learn how to properly make basic programms again and stop making piece of **** "apps" that then "sync" with soem server for no valid reason other than to mess thigns up or whatever this recent mess up is.


Kindly seriously go ****** yourselves.

One would think you of all people would know how to make a basic program.



Oh and bring back Fury3 and StarLancer!

Be sure that you are not in the game or is open, then, go to the properties of the game (right click on AoE 2 DE in your Library then Properties...), then go to the DLC tab and check the Enhanced Graphics Pack, after you've done that it should start downloading, it has around 16 GB I think, then you are ready to play the game and you should be able to enable UHD Enhanced Graphics in the settings of the game.

This 100% fixed it. Thank you!

See Darnaa's solution

Yeah about that, I don't have a dlc tab. I think I had it back when the game released and I did it back then.

I did click on the dlc again now on the main store page but instead of installing it just launches the game.

I am gonna try a verification process maybe that fixes it and if it doesn't I am gonna be pissed.

16GB HD GFX pack for a game that came out in 1999.. Really? This saddens me.

I just had this issue as well, added the DLC and the game just starts (its supposed to install/start downloading the DLC the next time you start the game like all the others do) but it fails, so you have to manually tick the "install"

Well you didn't get those graphical enhancements with the game in 1999. All those higher resolution graphics take up memory.

It took me 3 times to get it,..first 2 times failed,the third one worked.

Did you just keep retrying? I’m also on two download fails so far, dies right at the end of the 16GB download :<

[jhuff]

yup,..sounds exactly what mine did,..was gonna just give up ,..but , well did it again and it took on the third time...don't know why it worked or didn't work....

right click age of empires, go to properties / DLC / enable it there, if you havn't

If you have 16 GB rams and more you can activate the DLC otherwise don't even try.For me 16 GB is not enough with 8 players multi play games. You can randomly crush or you can be faced with bad performance. If you trust your system you will enjoy without any noticeable difference :)

The problem in my case was Family Share as another account in my household owns it. I didn't think of it as being the source of the problem, because in all other games the DLC is recognised just fine.
