Same for me. Stuttering throughout in game since last update

Same for me. I have a theory: Developers want us to quit AoE2 and start playing AoE4 or some other game. This patch is the worst I can remember. At least I will have a break from this great game. Hopefuly devs will fix it asap. Actually this lag is the same kind of lag that used to be on Voobly.
Except for lagging using the siege tower is impossible - tower just kicks over the wall one - two units and the rest stays in the tower. So you have to manually move the units behind to wall to make some space for another units. Crazy. See you in a month AoE2.

I have got the same problem. I played some 2v2s with a friend and all games were fine in the beginning, but then became laggy from castle age onwards. What I noticed was that neither my mouse nor the sound were lagging, but the problem was that my graphics were lagging and my inputs were sent too late to the server. In an Arena match I could hear that my opponent started converting my knights, but his monks were still standing still. Only 1-2 seconds later I could also see their conversion animation and my cavalry was concerted basically right away. In a second game, microing Cav Archers was impossible and I was lucky to have a team mate who carried! (BTW, he had no lag problem at all and was quite surprised when I told him on discord)

I fixed it by deleting all mod (even if you have never install some you have a lot of them)
I only kept small tree, blood and cba. Before that it was unplayable.

Solved here!
1- I reinstalled the game;
2- I deleted all mods too (didnt have any selected before btw),
3- Clicked in all menu tabs (in configs) to return to standard configs (Before I just changed like 2 or 3 hotkeys, nothing else, but ok)…
It worked for me! No more “strange delay” of three 3s before units start doing things after clicking… only regular and healthy normal lag… Thanks all ! Hope it works to you all too

Hotfix when @IkoKnight ?
The English font change is untolerable (why bother change it when it’s fine?)
In last patch you forced some fonts like Chinese into sans-serif, and this patch you forced them serif? What are you doing?

Game is absolutely unplayable at the moment. Disgrace of a patch. Would be ashamed delivering a service like this.

Same here, I started playing again after 1 year and it was really unplayable. What have they done?

I played several games in the PUP version. The significant delay is kinda gone but I still encounter more lag/ performance issue compared with previous version.
Edit: The delay is not gone, it mostly is placebo effect. PuP does not solve the issue for me.

Please, no more updates. I think the game production team never tested the patch before the patch was released, resulting in a decline in the number of frames in multiplayer games after 12 minutes. When the number of units exceeds 30, the number of frames drops to 20, when the number of units exceeds 50, the number of frames drops to 10, and each chat is delayed for 2 to 5 seconds, which leads to the inability to play online games. I think the update of the game is not to make the game better, but to try to kill the game.

After recently update, my PC got delay 3s when playing AOE2 game. Chat delay in-game too. It’s never happened before. My PC played well even I got pop up to 400. Please tell me what happened? I cannot play properly. Very disappointed. Thanks

link to PUP? thanks x20
If you mean access to the PUP, you can just choose the beta option in steam from game property. I read about the hotfix-wise PUP from aoe2 subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/comments/ski9ha/new_pup_build_available_compatible_with_live/
all I see are January updates. this latest patch is as of early February so those PUP are pre Feb patch, hence w/e problem we have now, those patch has it too.
if there are Feb PUP instead of Jan PUP then its worth a try.
Why dont you test patches before releasing?
Did I pay for this kind of product and post sale issues?
Issues that i see now, after this latest update:
a. mods not working - dont tell me to uninstall the mods. they were working fine before.
b. massive lag
c. PC is running slow with the game running
d. options window takes minutes to load during a game
e. after each launch the mods get disabled (checkbox gets unchecked)
Have a proper testing before any release, i believe testing is an integral part of software dev life cycle. Satya Nadella should know this.
i am on patch 58259…
