Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition hotfix patch 39515 is now live. The patch is small in size, and it only focuses on bug fixes. The update fixed many annoying bugs including the short pauses that occurred mid-game. The ELO change will be shown after a ranked match is finished, and mods will not stop the game from launching.
The Saladin 6 campaign mission The Lion and the Demon is not missing anymore, and horse and scout cavalry units have the same armor class, line of sight, and speed. Players will now only play on maps that are in the map pool. The Ranked map tabs rendering issue is resolved, and AI-controlled players will lure boars as intended.
Several other changes were made. You can read about them below and on the official site.
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition Game Update 39515 Patch Notes
FIXES
- Fixed an issue which caused intermittent, short pauses during gameplay.
- Fixed an issue where ELO changes would not be displayed properly after the conclusion of each ranked match.
- Fixed an issue where broken mods could prevent the title from launching.
- Fixed an issue which resulted in the removal of the Saladin 6 (“The Lion and the Demon”) campaign mission—leading to great historical turmoil!
- The Horse unit now has the same speed, armor class, and line of sight as the Scout Cavalry unit.
- The Department of Agriculture has cited villagers who would attempt to replant farms well beyond their allotted plots. This should result in less wandering across the map to seek out unoccupied plots.

- Players will no longer be matched on maps that are not in the current map pool.
- Fixed an issue in Ranked play where Black Forest would launch unexplored, and other maps would show up as explored when not intended.

- Fixed a visual issue with the rendering of ranked map tabs.
