I have similar issues since the recent update. Before it was fine, nothing else has change on my computer

@Bluem4n, @Geojak92
You should post your hardware specifications, so that developers get an idea, which hardware is struggling with game now.

I posted in the steam forum my specs on a similar post. I think someone more or less responded there, so I won’t post here again for now

I solved my issue by restarting my laptop. After that AoE runs like before the update.

It seems that beeing in standby or energy mode for a while and then starting AoE make some trouble.

Hope you guys will also find a solution for your issues.
