Recently Deathloop became available on PC Gamepass, but with terrible performance when compared to the Steam version. Then users discovered that the performance issue was solved when the game is played offline.
For me it worked, and since i heard that AoE IV on Steam has way better performance, i tested this solution on it. For my surprise AoE IV became sharp and extremely responsive. I don’t know the problem between PC Gamepass and online play but i think AoE IV devs should work with them to solve this problem because AoE IV is for the major part an online game.
