ISSUE EXPERIENCED
Pause button OOS
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
From my experience a player will pause the game causing the game to immediately go OOS, rapidly pause and unpause the game, or pause and then rely on another player to unpause the game resulting in OOS with a game-state unable to save. ive seen it happen right at the beginning of a match as well as far into late game, it may have something to do with memory and the amount the game can handle pausing on multiple systems all at once and then lining that game time back up when a player clicks unpause, but idk I’m just reporting my experiences. a nice little hot fix might be to disable the pause button altogether, as most players have never paused the game. I have a video clip and a saved file (i believe) so I apologize for the re-post but this issue irks me

Im not sure the recorded game file will work as it said it was invalid but its here all the same

################################################################### to preface the video orange had just run through my base(with haks and giant grens ty devs for the upcoming nerf). I believe i had one vill left stuck inside of a trading post socket and was just about to resign when yellow and purple having finished off red and blue attacked orange and green. Orange not having it (3v1) and messaging in chat is where the video begins.
not sure if that video link worked so here is another one, sry I was watching aoe2 at the time forgive me
