Patch 7.1.113 is a patch in Age of Empires IV, released on July 20, 2023.
Ranked Rewards[]
Starting with this patch, players should now see the highest rank they've achieved this season on their profile and on the multiplayer ranked screen.
Queue Dodging[]
The game servers' backend updated to better detect when a player purposefully disconnects from their match. The system should now apply queue dodging cooldown punishments more instantly than previous configurations. Purposefully disconnecting from a Ranked Team or Ranked 1v1 lobby or load screen, as well as any time during Ranked 1v1 matches, will now also count as a loss for the disconnecting player in addition to the cooldown punishment. This should reduce the frequency of queue dodging.
Mods[]
Fixed issue where mod creators on the Windows Store game version were unable to publish newly created mods using and see them on the Mod Publisher page.
