:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

I know I am asking for it playing a Ranked 4v4 game, but we had a really good match, that had just passed over 2 hours. Towards the end the lag was getting worse, though it was not awful. As time went on more players started to experience the issue where certain units would not attack or build buildings. I was playing as the Ottomans, my Jan’s would not build buildings, Hussars would not attack, Grenadiers would not attack, etc. Other units worked fine. (weird enough there was a British player on my team whos Grenadiers were working just fine).

I have previously reported about the units not attacking on this thread: Hand Calvary does not attack, Just stands idle - #2 by mal7887

The issues above continued until finally and suddenly, the game crashed for all players. There was no error, the game completely terminated for all users without a trace. This has now happened several times. Very frustrating for all players involved.

Since this was ranked… checked stats after, It appears it did not count as a loss, It counted in Win Streak, but ELO did not change. (not 100% sure about this)

Was the British player, and can say it did crash when both sides where at a important point of the match and my units did not have any bugs like the person who posted this.

This issue is being tracked by our team, thanks a lot for the report

Me and some friends Also have been experiencing this on 4vs4, and sometimes on 3vs3 (both ranked)

The internet speed is good, we still maintain discord but it starts lagging and then one or more players drop (not the host btw).

(the players are all in the same region server - western europe)
