ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
While playing a MP game, the game becomes super laggy (computer processing issue, not a network issue), with a super-low FPS and stuttering audio. After 10 seconds or so of this, it usually recovers, and “catches up” to the server version.
I’ve only managed to complete 1 game without force-quitting AOE 2 DE, and in this case it remained in this stuttering / laggy state until I reached the main menu and then quit the game.
