Ridiculous lag + long queue times since DLC update

NEW PATCH BIG LAG UNPLAYABLE

I am AOE Modder and I have never experienced lag before until the latest patch. I’m not the only one; it seems like all my friends are also lagging. I am certain that the game’s performance has deteriorated over the past few months. And it is not my drivers, system or whatever. Everything is updated. And my system requirements are more than enough to run this game.
