We tested out some games with HUGE lag, BUT we disabled “Turbo”; so far 0 out of sync. We will continue to test tomorrow, but we have played with huge wars with 8 players @ 400pop and 0 out of sync so far.
Will report back tomorrow on if this prevents any out of sync tomorrow.
For the most part, we have switched to playing non-turbo and are seeing fewer out of sync issues.
That being said, I did experience one last night (8/31/2025 @ 1AM CST) where I went out of sync: 416242374
this past weekend every game that i played crashed with the exception of maybe 2. since then, i’ve uninstalled age2, uploaded a rant on youtube and have ceased playing. no crashes. i reinstalled the voobly version of the game, no crashes. i’m taking a break until they start taking us more serious. i’m not changing the way, mode, format of how i play. call it being stubborn or me preferring to play the game with my preferred settings which they allowed the option to select without the usage of mods. #FixTheGame #NoMoreCrashes
Any update to these crashes? Ticket Support always says the same Answer that the players are fault…
Is there any update on whether the cause of the out-of-sync issue has been identified by the developers?
Curious if there’s anything we can do to help provide more match IDs or any data that can help determine the problem.
100% crash rate today… literally every game shortly after treat is over. Seems like to uninstall till fixed
Dev Team, is there any update over for this issue? This thread has gone cold, and the issue persists. We are unable to play 4v4 games with 400 pop on turbo. Is there anyway to further escalate this issue?
All the games are going out of sync. Can you please fix it?
Hi support team, @Felizon89
Any updates for this fix???
Please your help to get the solution.
Thank you.
Latest patch update broke the game for 3v3’s. Now a majority of them are crashing for the community, but they’re dropping another DLC…
So I updated to the lastest patch, my game wont even load in. Itr crashes before im able to even play
Hi Dev, Support teams,
Could you share update for this fix plz?
Are there any next steps or what are you doing in order ti give the solution we are requesting?
Is there any priority for this problem? Which is it?
Again, after several several weeks from the first post, could you please help us?
Dev Team, any visibility and support on this issue will be much appreciated. It’s been more than two months when this issue came out and the michi DM community is now diminishing. Please resolve this as soon as possible.
Do the devs even exist? Almost every game is going out of sync before the treaty even expires.
Settings:
Death Match
400 Max Pop
Turbo Enabled
3vs3 and 4vs4 currently have a high percentage of crashes occurring. This has been a huge problem since the update on 8-12-2025.
Hear me, O Developers of Age of Empires II Definitive Edition!
I come before you not as a mere villager with a battered hoe, but as a proud warlord of Deathmatch Michi — the greatest and ultimate format of Age of Empires II.
This is not opinion. This is truth carved in the sacred stone of Glory itself.
And yet, the ancient paths of Michi now lie broken.
Since the latest update, the once-mighty Deathmatch Michi — that glorious battlefield of booming economies, relentless siege, and strategic magnificence — has fallen into disarray with what seems to be perpetual crashes and desyncs. The balance is shattered, the mechanics undone, and the spirit of the mode itself wounded.
In the name of G L O R Y, we call upon you, O keepers of code and guardians of balance:
Restore Deathmatch Michi to its rightful grandeur!
The V N D I S P V T E D, the Anomalite Oracle, the entire DM Michi Realm, and the vast Michiverse beyond unite their voices as one thunderous call.
We do not beg — we compel you, by the divine power of G L O R Y, to heed this cry and mend what has been broken.
Let no villager toil in vain.
Let no siege ram idle at the gates.
Let no wonder crumble for want of developer care.
For when Deathmatch Michi thrives, Age of Empires II itself thrives.
When Deathmatch Michi roars once more, Age of Empires II stands eternal — unmatched, unbroken, and undying.
Do this, noble developers… and the MICHI GODS themselves shall remember your names.
— For the Michiverse, for the V N D I S P V T E D, for G L O R Y.
Also reporting…. All michi games 3v3 or 4v4 with turbo crashes shortly after treaty. About 70-90% of all games are out of sync….
9 games now, 9 crashes duo out of sync…. 100% crash rate is huge @Felizon89
Since August 12th, 2025, that update broke the game for a lot of us and still no response to it. I used to play this game everyday and would play at least 3-5 games a day. Now I fill that empty void with other games, designed by companies who release complete games.
Look, I don’t know why you guys (World’s Edge and other incompetent game developers) have not yet responded to the massive amount of Out of Sync crashes that have increased since the update mentioned above. I’m not sure if you guys even read any of the responses, from Steam, Discord, AgeofEmpires.com or any other location that you people post.
I call it a lack of care or maybe the inability to fix your own fuck up. Either way, you guys are a fucking disappointment.
Hey Devs,
I’m now about 20 games IN A ROW with crashes due to being out of sync. That’s very impressive! @Felizon89
