My game also crashes, no bug report, nothing. Iāll be in the middle of playing and it will close out to the desktop and Iāll have to reload the game completely. This is the only game that does this. All my other games work perfectly. Drivers are up to date, and everything else as well.
I have 1 SSD drive as main drive and 1 HDD drive. After the last windows update, the game started crashing to desktop for me too, without any error or anything.
What i noticed is that my HDD started working like crazy when i run the game (it is normally staying there idle if i dont use it). When i checked why, it turned out that after the update Windows decided that it will use the HDD drive for the virtual memory paging file. Needless to say that made the game crash to the desktop. I disabled paging for the HDD and now the game works normal again.
So if you have HDD drive in your system, make sure the OS is not using it for the paging file. Make sure the SSD is used for the paging file.
If you dont have SSD - then it was high time you got one.
My machine has 16 GB RAM, i7 6800k overclocked to 4.2 GHz, Nvidia GTX 1070 .

While the type of error is the same ( 3221225477 = 0xC0000005 = Segmentation fault ) the adress seems to be different. A crash at a different adress would mean itās a different bug and should get a separate report. Would you mind to tell where you found that in the logs so I can check?

Thanks for looking into this as there are clearly a lot of people having this problem. Including the group of friends I convinced to purchase the game and are unhappy to not be able to play a game without one of us crashing to desktop with no error messages. Is there a place to post the logs information?

First PC :

- Intel i7-4770K - 3.5Ghz ~8CPU
- 16GB DDR3 RAM and 24GB SWAP (pagefile)
- SSD 250GB Samsung 860 Pro (more than 40GB)
- GPU nVidia GTX 1660 Ti
- UHD Disabled
- No Antivirus enabled, all drivers and visual C++ up-to-date
Second PC (laptop) :
- Win 10 Enterprise LTSC (v1809) x64
- Intel i5-6300HQ - 2.3Ghz ~4CPU
- 12GB DDR4 RAM and 16GB SWAP (pagefile)

When iām playing AoE2:DE (vs AI), the game crash randomly, without error message, i just back to desktop.
If Iām going to Events Viewer in Windows Administrator panel, there are no logs about crash, or about the processā¦
The only log iāve is the simple text file located here : C:\Users<USERNAME>\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\logs
at the end of this file, I can find this :
āException type 3221225477 occurred at 00007ff6a3ec5ad3
Writing out logā
Explain me how the game can crash when iāve more than 32GB RAM with the Pagefile (SWAP on Windows) ?
Why the only log I can find is : āException type 3221225477 occurred at 00007ff6a3ec5ad3ā ? How can we understand this Exception Code ? No informations in support page.
Why there is no options to enable a verbose logging ?
Why Windows doesnāt record any logs in event viewer ? Because the application is closing simply ?
I paid the game, so I want a REAL support.
As a System Engineer, I donāt understand how the game can be Released with this issue. No explanations, no reals logs. Nothing.
Can you provide some explanations and find a workaround, or fix it ?

Issue:
So my game was running almost flawlessly since release, 0 crashes, just some real minor fps issues on max pop 4 vs 4, but after this update, my game crashed several times already (multiplayer). I donāt know whatās causing it, 1 time it dropped me and my entire team of friends, the other time it only dropped me.
Reproduction Steps:
Donāt know.

Same here, everything was running fine, but after the hotfixes, I crashed twice now. Both times arena 4v4, first time when I hit the castle age, and second time mid way through the castle ageā¦
Same here. Before the patch everything was fine, but now the game just randomly crashes all the time. I can only finish about 2/3 of my matches, because the game can crash at any point in the game. This was not the case before the new december patch. It happens in both 1v1, TGs and Singleplayer. I get no error messages, the game just closes entirely.
I have another problem with this 34223 I have i5 2500k and radeon card and mine frame rate in this game was around 50 fps without enhanced graphic pack but after big update 34055 i was very happy becose i was have stable 60 fps with v-sync.Game was very smooth 
Some hours ago was little ubdate version 101.101.34223.0 4509956 and now again i have around 50 fps. I was restarting 3 times pc and same result no stable frame rate.Its no smooth now.Why they break it 
Yes, something is happening with this update. I play with 2 guys that have bought the game thorugth microsoft store and they donāt have the update yet. But players from steam yes, and we cannot play together. 20 years from the original and here we are. Microsoftā¦
Iāve crashed both before and after the recent updates. Sometimes it freezes and gives a āhas stopped respondingā, while other times the game just instantly blips out to desktop and is closed with zero warning, at any time. Crashes are infrequent, but still happen about once per 10 hours of game time. And with sudden disconnects happening every few hours as well, it adds up to a lot of dropped games.

Yep same here, Crashes to desktop with no error message
Same here, second time now. Game just closes with no errors, about 20 minutes into a game of Forest Nothing. Nothing in Windows event log. No new logs, latest log is Main.txt which is blank. I noticed 3 other players randomly disconnecting before I did. Like the plague was going around.
This problem did not exist for me prior to the December 17 patch.
Multiplayer: WESTUS2
I do have mods so I could try ruling some of them out butā¦ itās looking like a common report.
