Can't multiplayer since Update 100.2.31845.0

Age of Empires: DE I - Report a Bug
1

Game Version:

  • Build: 100.2.31845.0
  • Platform: Steam
  • Operating System: Windows 10 AND Linux

Issue:

The multiplayer host computer’s AoE locks up for about 30 seconds, then ends up dropping me from the game. This happens since the update. If someone else hosts the game, then the problem happens to them.

This happens quite consistently less than 5 minutes into the game. This feels like a regression.
