Posting with minimal hope. I have been playing aoe2 for years and recently ran into some issues.
I have a PC where I regularly play and it’s been good. Recently, the Mac version was released and I installed it on my Mac to play with my kids who also have MacBooks. It was amazing, but that’s where all the joy ended.
Later I went to play on my PC, and the game synced from Mac via steam cloud, After that, the game became unplayable with constant lagging. I have trying everything possible but nothing really fixed the issue.
I contacted support and they responded but they have provided any reasonable solution/fix/update that helps the situation. They did mention that it seems like cross platform corruption.
I used to play regularly but since the issue I try and give up after 1-2 games and lately haven’t been playing at all. It really sucks. If someone can help, that would be amazing.
The only solution might be that I buy the game and DLCs on a completely new account but that seems so unfair since it’s not my fault this game is messed up for me.
