Age Of Empires 2 Definitive Edition 60 Fps Lock

Fps

This page is for the 2013 HD Edition. For the original game, see Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings. For the 2019 Definitive Edition, see Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.

Back to Age of Empires Definitive Edition. The whole 4K UHD 60 FPS sounds mighty, but it actually makes the game action look less realistic (sans the UHD graphics pack). Arrows flying out of castles at enemy soldiers look like slo-mo videos. The Enhanced Graphics Pack increases Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition to ultra-high fidelity resolution. Before you attempt to install, please make sure that your system requirements meet or exceed the minimum specs for this content.
