Age of Empires II HD recently received an update that introduced new game features, new maps and many bug fixes. Unsurprisingly, Patch 5.0, also known as theRise of the Rajas expansion, also brings issues of its own.

Rise of the Rajas bugs

Rise of the Rajas won’t launch

Players report that the Rajas Expansion is not working despite having downloaded the update. There is also an error message that appears on the screen, informing gamers that they don’t own the expansion.

If you’re experiencing this issuese, try restartingSteam. In your game list, you should see the DLC installed with a checkbox next to it.

Low FPS issues

The Rise of the Rajas expansion hasn’t fixed the low FPS rate issues affecting Age of Empires II HD. The problem is still here.

So many bugs on patch 4.9. Please Do Not release it if u guys didnt test it well . It makes me drop a lot of elo n the game was crashed a lot of time. Do Not make a classic game become trash…please

Dracula Mission 3 won’t load

Players cannot launch the Dracula Mission 3 due a Player Personality error. They can’t access the mission no matter what they click, and are forced to shut the game down via Task Manager, losing all campaign progress.

Age of Empires II HD takes a very long time to load

Players can’t start a match because the loading process won’t finish. This issue occurs in single an multiplayer games after installing the latest expansion.

All teams have the same color

Players report that when they change their team color, there are multiple teams of the same color. This issue literally makes the game unplayable.
