ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Was playing ranked TG with my friend and the game stopped in the middle of the match (reaching castle age). It happened to me (the grey ethiopian) and to my friend (the green player who picked Byzantines) at the same time.
The game stopped responding and the notification that the program has stopped appeared.
First time this bug popped to us

Hi,
my game crashed aswell in a 1v1 at around 30 min of game time. After I restarted the game, I was watching the replay to analyse the match up to the point of the crash. Surprisingly, my game crashed once again at the same point of the game. @Hectornauta: Does your replay crash your game aswell?
Here is my replay file:

Your replay crashes also on my system.
2021.04.24-14.53.19.txt (20.9 KB) I have also a crash to desktop even re-watching the replay leads to the crash to desktop. Here is my replay and the log
Relevant information in the log states:
Exception type 0xc0000005 occurred at 00007ff7097ae7a5 (both in my and your replay)

Check the newest log files for AOE, its located like below:
C:\Users[your name]\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\logs
Look at the last few entries after a crash.
Exceptions cause the game to crash, something like Exception type 0xc0000005 indicates something wrong with memory apparently… increasing RAM or having a massive pagefile.sys might help

Writing out log
I got this message in the logs. Does it mean that is a RAM issue? But why does it happen since March 24 update which didn’t happen to me before?
Try closing other apps. When the game starts, close apps like Chrome or Edge as they use a lot of Ram (change the setting to continue where left off). Also, change Game Graphics to low or medium can improve game stability.

I still have the error and the exact same issue. Log is identical. And also for other players it crashes.
this is a common problem since the latest update which devs haven’t addressed for some reason, maybe they don’t know what they screwed up?
I reported a bug but they want me to play the Public beta and see if problem exists there
But: The problem is not easy to trigger, I do not want to play the beta for that long to trigger the error
