By chance, I checked the previous game version today and revisited this issue, and the issue is gone:

[https://steamdb.info/depot/813781/history/?changeid=M:3062750357974097780](https://steamdb.info/depot/813781/history/?changeid=M:3062750357974097780)

To be precise, I inserted:

```auto
download_depot 813780 813781 3062750357974097780
Downloading depot 813781 (5592 files, 1255 MB) ...

```

which gave me `Version 101.103.14579.0 #145651`.

Interestingly, the issue still appears in the provided replay, but not when I play a scenario myself. So it looks like the [“only” balance patch](https://www.ageofempires.com/news/age-of-empires-ii-definitive-edition-update-147949/) introduced this new performance bug, and the issue is even captured _within_ the replay file.

Current version (101.103.16877.0 (#147949)):

Previous version (101.103.14579.0 (#145651)):

So, what we (and hopefully the devs) learned today is that a **very recent change** introduced this particular issue.
