When I played ranked games, the game will randomly crash. This can happen at any time and began happening after the most recent update.

50% of the time / matches I play (FREQUENTLY)**

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Play a ranked game. Maybe it crashes, maybe it doesn’t.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

I expect the game not to suddenly crash for no reason.

:arrow_forward: IMAGE

The game crashes. There’s no image to take.

I’ve looked in C:\Users\your_user_name\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE\logs but there don’t seem to be any recent files

This is the game recording. It doesn’t look like there is a desync file in my system.

This is the log of my last session. No .mdmp file was created.

Additionally, if I look up my profile, it shows that I am still playing two games, both of which had a player crash today. Obviously I am not playing any games right now, let alone two simultaneous ranked games on the same account. But perhaps this is related.

Pretty much so indeed.

I’d suggest the devs to stop all further implementations in the game and work on fixing all core issues until everything is stable and actually test thoroughly all new patches built on that base, because since 2 years, every patch seem to make things worse. Last dlc patch seemed to take things in the right direction then we get this mess and everything is outright unplayable for most people.

I agree, the game is now almost unplayable to the point where a big part of the community may stop playing.

this is a re-occurring issue for the last 3.5 years

the cycle goes like this:

balance patches → add new DLC → introduce ton of bugs → fix some bugs patch → fix some more → finally fixed → balance → add new DLC → repeat with bugs

so we got maybe 4-6 months period with no bugs and rest are all with bugs introduced? sometimes new DLC doesn’t change much and some DLC breaks game A LOT all dependent on what they do

yea wish they can just have 2 of their employees whos can do a few 2vs2 against AI before releasing a patch.

Whatever you have done with this update, it has broken ALL multiplayer Deathmatch games. We play with many units on the field (400), so maybe that has something to do with it? The game goes out of sync, or players randomly disconnect from the game. It has been unplayable as EVERY game has gone out of sync or crashed.

They really need to a 4v4 400+ units per player to see how its going to do. Update killed the game, its completely unplayable in its current state. Every game we started went out of sync or crashed, and we tried all day.
