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. Files from Settlers II Gold are required in order to run it.

Installing Return to the Roots[citation needed]
  1. Install Settlers II Gold.
  2. Download newest version of Return to the Roots.
  3. Extract Return to the Roots and place it somewhere on your hard drive (e.g. in C:\Program Files\Return to the Roots).
  4. From Settlers II Gold folder copy folders DATA and GFX and place them in Return to the Roots folder (where s25client.exe is).
  5. Launch a game using s25client.exe.
