Benchmark before every match

Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug
1

Game Version:

  • Build (101.101.32911.0 4395365)
  • Platform (Steam)

Issue:

Benchmark test has to run everytime before I try to queue up in a ranked multiplayer game. I’ve already run it before and have never played the game in a different computer, nor have I changed my hardware in any way, but it still doesn’t let me play unless I run the benchmark. For the record, I’m playing on a Windows 10 ASUS laptop (Specs —> i7-8750H, 8GB DDR4, GTX 1050Ti).

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Successfully complete the benchmark test.
  2. Close the game. Maybe restart your computer as well, not sure.
  3. Launch the game once again, this time just go straight to matchmaking and try queuing up for a ranked game. The game won’t let you queue up unless you run the benchmark test again.
