Releases: DJSchaffner/aoe2de_patcher
v2.1
Hotfix: Updated the used version of DepotDownloader to fix issues with downloading from steam!
As always, please report any issues you encounter via the issues tracker.
v2.0
It has been some time, but I got around to improving a bit more stuff. Especially on the side you don't usually see which is adding the patch data when a new patch comes out 😄
With this patch I no longer have to gather any updated filelists from steamdb or have to generate them by hand, but the tool does it automatically! In a few cases this might lead to slower patching since the filelists are no longer prepared and ready to download, but typically the process should be quicker, especially when jumping between patches that have multiple other patches in between.
Please share any issues you encounter via the issues tracker here.
Changelog:
- No longer dependent on steamdb (I still have to add some patch data, but it's way less and easier to do. Who knows, maybe I find a way to fully automate this in the future…)
- Removed language selector since it was mostly useless anyways. (Only affected cutscenes and voice-overs) This also reduces the amount of data necessary to patch!
- Going from a version to another version with multiple patches in between should now be much quicker (The new way also opens up ways to realize patching from an older version to a newer one. Although this is not implemented yet)
- Slightly reduced the size of the tool because of fewer dependencies
- Looks like some older patches which didn't work previously, do work now
- Future released DLCs should no longer cause the tool to break if you do not own that DLC
Disclaimer:
I had to do a lot of manual copy and pasting in order to convert the patch system to the new format. If you find a patch that doesn't work, please let me know, and I will take a look! No guarantees that it is a problem with something I messed up while migrating, though. It could also be a different issue (Very old patches tend to not work, and I haven't found a way to fix this yet)
v1.30
Please share any issues you encounter via the issues tracker here.
Changelog:
- Fixed patching for players that do not own the latest DLC
- Updated integrated version of DepotDownloader which should increase download speed
v1.20
Please share any issues you encounter via the issues tracker here.
Changelog:
- Fixed app being broken since steamdb changed stuff again
- The app is no longer dependent on steamdb, so it can no longer randomly break stuff
- This unfortunately means that (for now) patching to any undocumented version and patching from an older version to a newer one is no longer possible. You will have to use steam to get the latest version and go backwards from there.
v1.10
Please share any issues you encounter via the issues tracker here.
Changelog:
- Fixed an issue where the wrong manifest id could be chosen for some patches because of timezones
- Fixed patching from Post-DLC release to Pre-DLC release (For now, patching DLC versions is not supported. Only the rest of the files will be updated. I am looking for a volunteer tester that owns the DLC to implement it)
- Added versioning to the tool (A message will be printed out notifying you if a new version is released)
1.04

Changelog:

v1.01
Please share any issues you encounter via the issues tracker here.
Changelog:
- Fixed HTML request Error 503
v1.0
The tool is now optimized to a point where I'd consider it being stable and doing what it was intended to do.
Please still share any issues you encounter via the issues tracker here.
Changelog:
- Further optimized downloads when downgrading and the patches are documented
- Fixed an error that could happen when patching to a non-optimized patch or when upgrading
- Added some output to differentiate preparation and download phase (Just so you know its not stuck)
- Removed non-working patches for now at least until i find a way to make them work (Pre 35584)
