:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

The game did not start and crashed when trying to play on the “Byzantium” map.

I also experimented with some other settings changes, such as game speed, difficulty, number of players, etc. In the case of Civilizations, I tried Byzantines, Romans, Tatars, etc.

Therefore other settings and conditions seem irrelevant to this issue. And this happens in both Single Player and Multiplayer.

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Select the “Byzantium” map on the preparation screen. (Any other settings are fine.)
  2. Press the start button.
  3. Then it crashes.

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

It should always be possible to play the “Byzantium” map under any conditions without any crashes.

:arrow_forward: IMAGE

:point_down: ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.

Sorry. I couldn’t take any screenshot because it crashed immediately.

:point_down: Attach a SAVE GAME (.aoe2spgame) or GAME RECORDING (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue. Link it below if using an external file service.
