GAME INFORMATION
These details are CRITICAL; DO NOT skip them or your issue may not be reviewed.
- GAME BUILD #: 83607
- GAME PLATFORM: Steam and Microsoft Store
- OPERATING SYSTEM: All Operating Systems
ISSUE EXPERIENCED
The URL helper (e.g. aoe2de://0/234230181) now only works if:
-
the user is on the lobby page and
-
the user has successfully joined and left a lobby directly from the ingame browser in that same game session.
If these two conditions are not met, using the URL helper results in immediate crash of entire game.
This has broken the join functionality of all third party webapps used by most players in the place of the ingame browser.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
- 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
- Open game to main menu
- In a web browser on same computer visit any third party webapp Lobby Browser - Age of Empires 2 - AoE2 Insights, aoe2.net, aoe2lobby, etc.
- Click join in webapp for any lobby
EXPECTED RESULT
Game joins lobby that was clicked in webapp.
IMAGE
Game immediately crashes.
