Yeah happened again.
I opened my scenario (with Default Game Mod) - joined a game via aoe2.net
Then after launch I desync (I heard the others laughing in chat but didn’t see the chat) - with your default Desync message (a restore file has been restored … blah blah)

After exiting that window I was first greeted with a fullscreen, NO UI (it was literally just the game, not a single UI component.
After hitting ESC and going back I saw this (and moved the camera to the corner myself)

THis is what happens when you do it with a Scenario loaded with Vanilla. What happens if you open a scenario with a mod and then join a lobby via link? - Just tested. Trying to join the game from a modded scenario crashes the game

While you guys are on it - also please check what happens when you open an aoe2DE lobby link from Singleplayer, Campaign, Options, Modcenter, another multiplayer game etc
