- New Options:
- Object Shadows Anti-aliasing (Enabled by default in builds prior to 2.2 for the improved shadows). Disabling may help improve performance & allow for expanded GPU support with some older Shader model versions.
- Enable VSYNC option (can help reduce load on higher end GPUs)
- Clamp mouse to window when in foreground
- Quick match speed default to normal but can be changed to fast
- Display mode options from main menu: Windowed, Fullscreen, Fullscreen Desktop (for multi-monitor)
- Fullscreen desktop requires monitors to have matching vertical resolutions. Mismatched resolutions resulted in truncated UI and was disabled. You can still drag the game in windowed mode across multiple monitors.
- Gameplay Modification:
- Added nine additional grouping hotkeys and made group creation / selection keys modifiable.
- After getting the patch you may be forced to re-create your hotkey file.
- Group hotkeys can be changed by accessing options -> Hotkeys -> Game Commands.
- Group Selection hotkeys cannot be modified by alt or shift keys, as these keys have special meaning in game (e.g. alt + group selection key = select and center on)
- If multiple buildings of the same type are selected, unit training will sequentially be divided amongst buildings (Multiple building unit queues)
- Bugfixes:
- Missing grey background behind some tooltip text resolved (to improve text clarity)
- Localization fixes
- Unlocalized Launcher Buttons
- Missing campaign text
- Unlocalized Russian UI
- Additional various localization fixes
- Additional Achievement fixes
- Trebuchet attack range fixes

- Game ‘win’ counter should increment correctly
- Quickmatch Map Size properly filters based on map size chosen
- Performance warning typo fixes
- Fixed AI files not being unpacked properly from workshop mods
- Fixed workshop downloading only one update per launch of the game
- Other:
- When getting booted from the game, you will return to the main menu. This is by design due to the gameflow and how the title processes game information.
- Gameplay version changed to 2.3
- Matchmaking settings changed to the ‘widest’ setting permitted by Steam’s system.
