I’m still waiting for a fix for the MP loading issue, haven’t been able to play at all since that patch on 5th or 6th of nov.

Thank god for this hotfix, every game you had someone crashing.

My game now lags with less than 10 units even on screen, “great” job.

Unfortunately, when i was playing ranked game in nomad, it crashed again.
All my efforts were wasted.

Thanks for the update!

To all the people complaining about crashes or lag, could you file a proper bug report? I’m sure the devs can do little with messages like “it crashed” or “it lags”.

The game cannot prevent all causes of lag. If there is someone with a bad connection or bad pc, there is nothing the devs can do about it.

Good job on the UI animations. Making them twice as fast definitely gives it a slicker feel! Thanks guys for your dedication to AOE! :slight_smile:

@BoughtRelic9282 yea that reduced animation really helps… it was getting on my nerve. would not mind if its cut by another 1/2 really.

also, I played a few games with someone I know will lag for sure and they use to lag every game. no more lag today and infact it is fairly smooth. not sure if it’s their computer thats changed but i doubt it, maybe to do with server or the fix they were talking about. much better now.

They don´t seem to care about AoE 3DE. They don´t listen to the community, and break mods every single time…
