GAME LOCKS UP WHILE PLAYING

Game Version: AOE2 DE

  • Build: LATEST UPDATE (see attachments for details)
  • Platform: Steam
  • Operating System: Windows 10
  • Gamertag: ??ATOMIC_HUSKARL??

Issue:

Not sure if this is an update problem but the game has been locking up a lot since the update (3 times specifically),
No issues whatsoever since the game came out for me (150 to 200 games without so much as a disconnect), so this is definitely new.
Load screen is always blank now, whether the game continues or not.
Replay shows the game is fine and everyone else seems ok until the replay ends, but in my original game the score doesn’t advance, my view is locked and hotkey/keyboard/mouse input are all non responsive.

Same exact issue 3 times: twice yesterday and once just now.
Game starts, queue vils, start scouting and then nothing works by the 7th vil or so.
All inputs work outside the game.
No issue using the windows key to pop out and force stop the game.

Reproduction Steps:

Happens when it wants.
All Random Ranked
Happened in both 1v1 and team games.
After it happened twice in a row yesterday, I reloaded the program and was ok other than the blank loading screen as the match starts (no usernames or civ info).
Happened first game today as well.
Already quit and restarted.
Will try again shortly with a fresh load from scratch.
I believe the civ was Cumans all 3 times.
