Download Age of Empires II User Patch 1.1 Beta

The Age of Empires II game is from 1999 and the expansion The Conquerors from a year later. Nevertheless, this real-time strategy game is still played fanatically by a number of people, especially at lan parties. While publisher support has long been discontinued, the community is still working on updates. This includes fixing problems and making it more difficult to cheat. A user patch is currently being worked on that will lift the version number of the game to 1.1 and its changelog looks like this:
