Hi everyone! I’m new around here so forgive me if someone else has asked this question and it’s been answered. Here’s the scoop: I have AoE 2 DE that I’ve downloaded from the Microsoft Store. When I first launch the game, everything seems to work fine. But then, about 30 seconds later, the game crashes. I’ve already been through all of the steps listed under “The game crashes shortly after it launches or when trying to start a game” on this FAQ support page (https://www.ageofempires.com/support/aoe2/#crash-after-launch) and nothing has worked. I will say, if I turn the WiFi off on my computer, the game runs just fine. But the second I turn WiFi back on and connect to the internet, it instantly crashes. Playing sans-internet is not very useful, as I am trying to play multiplayer. Has anyone else run into this? What is the solution?
Here are my system specs for reference:
