I have played this game for years without issue until the past few days when my game has been crashing to the desktop mid-game. There’s no warning behavior such as lagging or freezing, and no error message after the crash - it just crashes to desktop mid-game. It can be after 15 minutes or after 45 minutes, it can be online or it can be solo against AI. It will just hard crash as if “End Task” was clicked in task manager.

- I restarted my computer, still crashed.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, still crashed.
- I updated the graphics drivers for my GeForce RTX 4060, still crashed.
- My FPS are already set at 60.

In the Event Viewer, I got BugSplat-worldsedge\_cardinal-release\_ **11** \_1\_0\_rtm\_x64

This seems to be the latest in a series of “BugSplat” game crashes, the current one being **11**. The [previous one being 10](https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/constantly-crashing-bugsplat-release-10-1-0-rtm-x64/254934), and an [earlier one being 8](https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/aoe-iv-8-1-185-0-hard-crash-bugsplat-error/237673).

When I search for fixes, there is never a solution, just a long list of people experiencing the same problem, so I assume the devs patch it in a future update? That’s frustrating, because I never know when the devs will patch it, and I don’t even know if they’re aware of the issue. So I’m unable to play this game until magically one day I can? Unless someone actually has an answer?
