Game freezes for 2 seconds every 10 seconds

Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug
1

Game Version:

  • Build (101.101.36202.0 4819260)
  • Platform (Steam)

Issue:

The game freezes for a couple of seconds every 10 seconds or so. This is happening in all single player matches (vs AI and campaign) , i havent played multiplayer since this issue started so im not sure if it happens in multiplayer as well.

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Start any single player match.

What I’ve tried so far:

  1. Lowered graphics to lowest.
  2. Removed all mods.
  3. Reinstalled the game
  4. Increased virtual memory

My PC passes the benchmark test for multiplayer games.
