SOME ISSUES ENCOUNTERED :

- It is probably impossible to download something from the Voobly Mod Center, but you can still install mods manually like I did to have the Small Trees.

- At the end of a multiplayer game, you’ll automatically have to force Age of Empires 2 to quit :
cmd + alt + esc.

-If Voobly seems to refuse launching, force it to quit by right clicking on the icon → Force quit (btw I got to do this every time I want to play).

- Sound volume can’t be adjusted, or at least, it doesn’t change anything.

- In-game tchat issues : characters doesn’t print.

If you have encountered some other issues, please leave a comment !
