Game freezes when trying to load campaign save

:point_down: These details are CRITICAL; DO NOT skip them or your issue may not be reviewed.

  • GAME BUILD #: Cannot view because dialog is covering it
  • GAME PLATFORM: Microsoft Store
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10 (Xbox)

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:point_down: *DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below).
My save games often fail to load. Whether selecting ‘Continue’ or ‘Load Game’ from the main menu, AOE takes a very long time to respond.

Often when trying to do this the game will freeze entirely.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

:point_down: How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!

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

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:point_down: *List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves…

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Open AOE app on Xbox, having at least one saved campaign file
  2. Try loading save file using ‘Continue’ or ‘Load Game’ options

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

Save file loads successfully

:arrow_forward: IMAGE

:point_down: ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.

Imagine a frozen image of the main menu, it would serve no purpose for me to go back and try triggering the bug again

:arrow_forward: GAME FILES (SAVE / RECORDING)

:point_down: Attach a SAVE GAME (.aoe2spgame) or GAME RECORDING (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue. Link it below if using an external file service.

  • I can’t even give this because the bug occurs so often when trying to select Load Game

Hi @meepItOut
Can you try disbling all your mods and restarting the game? Thank you.

Hi, no mods are installed and I’ve restarted the game already

Are these saved games previous to the latest update?Can you send me one of these files? You can use gofile.io

Not all of them are pre-update, I have one that is post-update where this has been occurring. I’m not sure how I can get save files from Xbox for you? Suppose I could google around

Forgot to mention, but the issue didn’t start until after the latest update. Attaching screen including the build number
