Essential improvements
Return to the Roots
Return to the Roots is an unofficial add-on for The Settlers II currently in development. It adds new features such as online multiplayer and widescreen support. It also may improve performance and solve some compatibility issues on new machines, thanks to rendering in WinAPI or OpenGL. Files from Settlers II Gold are required in order to run it.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below
%PROGRAMFILES%
,%PROGRAMDATA%
, or%WINDIR%
might be redirected to%LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore
on Windows Vista and later (more details). - ↑ 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
