Age of Empires: DE: Implementing fixes for missing game lobbies.
Age of Empires II: DE: Implementing improvements for ELO balancing in ranked matchmaking.
Age of Empires II: DE: Updating multiplayer lobby list to display more lobbies.
Updates to mitigate the brief server outages during these times of increased load.
DETAILS:
Good day, everyone! This coming Wednesday, April 22nd, we will be taking the multiplayer servers down for maintenance.
During this time, you will still be able to launch the game, but will not be able to matchmake or access any other online features.
The downtime is expected to last two hours while we implement and test the fixes. We’ll update this thread with any new information or updates to the schedule as they arise. This is also where we’ll announce the all clear when the maintenance is complete.
I hope the multiplayer matchmaking works again after this maintenance. Many players are leaving AoE 1 DE because game lobbies disappear and games disconnect. Please listen to the community.
2 hours of full downtime in the evening to implement fixes.
Maybe you should hire some skilled people to automate things ?
Its not like it’s exceptionnal. This is ridiculous. Microsoft has some high reliability cloud and this game is down every evening. Maybe Microsoft related products should use some Microsoft technologies ?
Servers are back up and running! Thank you for your patience during the downtime!
Please let us know if you continue to experience issues related to the objectives listed above; we’ll make sure any unforeseen effects or issues are escalated to the team for review.
Can you keep us updated as to whether they refresh within the next ten minutes or so? Make sure you don’t have any filters, and please share a screenshot if they continue to be missing after that time.
During this time, you will still be able to launch the game, but will not be able to matchmake or access any other online features.
