Hi everyone,
I’m having a really annoying multiplayer problem with AoE2 DE and I’m hoping someone has seen this before.
It started a few yesterday with my Steam friend not showing up properly in AoE2.
After that I started getting different multiplayer errors.
The first one was:
Source: Automatch2PollingEvent
Error Code: 0xffffffff
Extended Code: 0xffffffff
Later I got:
Source: AdvertisementJoinEvent
Error Code: 0x00000001
And more recently:
Could not create game. Request was invalid
Source: AdvertisementJoinEvent
Error code: 0xfffffff7
When I click OK on that last error, AoE2 sometimes freezes.
The strange thing is that Ranked Multiplayer was working normally at one point. I could play ranked games, but I couldn’t create a Party/custom game with my friends.
Now it has gotten worse again and Multiplayer is completely greyed out.
I’ve already tried pretty much all the usual things:
- Restarting AoE2
- Completely restarting Steam
- Restarting my PC
- Restarting my modem/router
- Verifying the game files
- Checking the multiplayer settings
- Checking the Game Details / Friends Only settings
- Making sure the relevant multiplayer settings are enabled
Nothing has fixed it.
So I’m wondering if this is an AoE2 server/account/connectivity issue rather than something wrong with my PC or internet.
Has anyone had these errors before, especially the combination of:
Automatch2PollingEvent → 0xffffffff
AdvertisementJoinEvent → 0x00000001
AdvertisementJoinEvent → 0xfffffff7
and eventually having Multiplayer completely greyed out?
Any ideas or known workarounds would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
