WHAT: Server Maintenance (Multiplayer Servers)
WHEN: 2024-02-07T22:00:00Z
EST. DOWNTIME: 1-2 HOURS
GAMES & PLATFORMS:
Age of Empires: Definitive Edition (Steam / Microsoft Store )
Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition (Steam / Microsoft Store )
Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition (Steam / Microsoft Store )
Age of Empires IV (Steam / Microsoft Store )
OBJECTIVES:
Routine server maintenance; no player-facing changes.
DETAILS:
This coming Wednesday, February 7, the platform team will be taking the multiplayer servers down for regular maintenance. Please note:
- Online matchmaking will be disabled exactly one hour before the maintenance window to prevent disruption to newly-formed matches.
- Any matches still in progress at the start of the maintenance window will be disrupted when the servers are taken offline.
- DURING THE MAINTENANCE WINDOW, YOU WILL STILL BE ABLE TO LAUNCH THE GAME, BUT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MATCHMAKE OR ACCESS ANY ONLINE FEATURES.
To prevent any interruptions, we recommend wrapping up any games at least 10 minutes before the maintenance window. The downtime is expected to last between 1 and 2 hours . You can watch this thread for any changes to the schedule as they arise, as well as the all-clear when the maintenance is complete.
Thank you for your patience!
A forewarning to everyone that the multiplayer services will be unavailable for around 1-2 hour starting in 1 hour (2pm PT/ 22:00 UTC) as they undergo routine maintenance. Please check the schedule above and plan ahead to prevent the down-time from disrupting your matches!
Hey! I am a long time age of empires player and I have a lot of friends who enjoy AGE OF EMPIRES DE.
How do I get past the “out of sync error”? Is there anyone I can speak to that can help me?

Server maintenance is kicking off now! Apologies for the disruption. Updates will be posted in the thread linked above.
Much like last time, no notification in game. Guess I’ll just stop playing on Wednesdays altogether. Shame.
" * Online matchmaking will be disabled exactly one hour before the maintenance window to prevent disruption to newly-formed matches."
How was I able to launch a 8v8 quick game in aoe4 then?
Isn’t everything on Azure and it could take less time?
MY BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE PLAYING A WONDERFUL GAME AND SUDDENLY, WE WERE SURPRISED BY A SERVER CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING…
TIP~ PUT A WARNING BEFORE STARTING THE MATCH, THUS MAKE IT CLEAR TO ALL PLAYERS THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY IS THE PLAYER…
