Game crashes on boot

Hi @aoescout ,

Sorry for not updating the thread in a few days. Here’s what I tried:

  • verify file integrity through Steam → all fine, still crashes
  • uninstall the game and reinstall through steam → still crashes
  • delete Age’s folder in C:\Users{me}\Games → still crashes
  • delete C:\Program Files (x86)\AOE2URLHELPER → still crashes
  • I updated my drivers → still crashes
  • I tried uninstalling the most recent Windows update (KB5004237) → still crashes
  • I ran sfc /scannow & restarted → still crashes

When I removed Age’s folder I noticed it keeps logs of crashes so I’ve attached the most recent one.

Looks like it crashes because of

Exception type 0xc0000005 occurred at 00007ffbe140ba66

I’ve looked on the forums for similar issues and found this thread

I tried everything in there and no luck.
