### ▶ GAME INFORMATION

### ▶ ISSUE EXPERIENCED

❓ _DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). Limit to ONE issue per thread._

Once I finish downloading the game (after I put in product key and code) the download will pause. When I hit resume it unpauses for half a second then goes back to pause. I have reinstalled the game 3 times now. I played during the stress test and had no issues.

### ▶ FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

❓ _How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST._

- **100%** of the time

### ▶ REPRODUCTION STEPS

❓ _List the DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue… Be descriptive!_

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Download the game
2. Wait for download
3. Wonder why it pauses

### ▶ EXPECTED RESULT

❓ _What was supposed to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?_

I would be playing the game.

### ▶ ACTUAL RESULT

❓ _What actually happened (what went wrong) because of the issue you’re reporting?_

### ▶ GAME FILES

❓ _Include a [OneDrive or Google Drive link](https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/how-to-find-and-share-save-game-and-recorded-game-files/102084) to a SAVE GAME or REPLAY FILE (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue._
