I’m not even using any cheats like cheat engine or wemod, but the game kept crashing saying wemod was open, after some searching, it was the overlay that runs in the background automatically if xbox/windows game bar is open (which is automatic on startup), it doesn’t even do anything unless wemod is open, I have to search and end task it every time it from task manager to even run the game.
I don’t even play mp like thousands others, people who cheat in mp WILL cheat in mp and find a way, this is no way to annoy the normal players’ sp experience, didn’t pay for premium for this bs.
Same has happened with AOE1,2,3 DEs with me, although not as aggressive, they can crash your pure sp gameplay if they “detect” something, I have asked on official AOE forums before as well several times to separate the MP’s executable files or use EAC, which disables all online features if it is disabled or tempered with.
