So since the DLC download and the update, my game crashes every single time on a map with water. I tried both Skirmish and multiplayer ranked / custom (and lost a lot of MMR and points because of it - and got several cooldowns). The only way I can play ranked is to downvote the water maps.
I have crashed on Himeyama and Volcanic Island twice in ranked and Baltic and Nagari in ranked Quick Matches and I can’t get any game started on Skirmishes with AI. I have always picked Zhuxi’s legacy as the civ and this can be reproduced 100% of the time.
Looking at the warning logs stored in the warnings file in the aoe4 folder, I see a bunch of these errors, which likely indicates some map issues.

I love the game and despite paying for the DLC, I really havent been able to play the maps/civs I like. Would love any and all help here.
