:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:backhand_index_pointing_down:I am facing a critical issue with my custom map. It runs smoothly in single-player with my custom AI, but in multiplayer, it suffers from severe performance issues or crashes. The behavior varies: sometimes the game gradually degrades until it becomes unplayable, while other times it freezes instantly without warning. This happens at random intervals.

I have already attempted to troubleshoot by switching to the standard AI and disabling the garrison spawning mechanic, but neither solution alleviated the problem. I am unable to pinpoint the root cause and would appreciate your help
