Yo AOE2 DE Support -

Please help! Having similar issues as folks above post 5/27 patch and subsequent hot fix. This is an official support request and all files you requested are linked/attached. Looking fwd to hearing from you with solutions. Thanks!

(1) get disconnected from ranked MP in middle of match for no apparent reason; just happened again a few min ago (see screenshot below); this is AFTER I’ve implemented ALL of your recommended game optimization tips AND gone through several other guides on improving AOE2 DE performance, including this one
(2) yellow clock frequently appears next to my name in ranked MP despite a lightning fast internet connection and a top-end gaming rig; again, I tried all tips you recommend here too and have posted on other forums on this site requesting help where ppl have encountered this issue as well; as you guys know, there are a lot of haters out there who haze/rage quit when they see a yellow clock next to someone’s name in ranked MP. Obviously this is a problem when those haters are your teammates

  • game version = 101.101.37906.05105673
  • save game file
  • production steps. play on steam. have high end gaming machine connected to external monitor with lightning fast internet and MP benchmark score of ~1170. follow all MS support guides on game optimization (install updates, switch to game mode, tweak settings, set rig to high performance, et als), play ranked MP. lose elo bc game crashes, ppl disconnect, or i’m disconnected.

All my computer specs can be found here in a previous post (including speed test proving I get around 300Mb u/d).

Hi,
The disconnects have increased in frequency again despite the hotfix. In unranked team games at least one player disconnects within the first 5 minutes.

I have lost 6/6 last games due to the game freezing, this has become a big disaster

Hey everyone! As this thread initially tackled issues following the May 27th update, I’m going to be locking it down. If you are still having trouble connecting to matches, please create a new thread (with all the requested details and files) or add to a thread if one already exists. This will help me understand who is still having issues and what might be causing them.

Thanks to everyone who weighed in to get this particular problem fixed as quickly as possible!
