Crashing mid game?
A friend and I have been enjoying the nostalgia having some fun generally comp stomping our way around for the last few weeks until tonight. Played 4 games so far all with the same result. By the time we hit age 4 (Roughly 20 - 30 minutes?) it crashes. No error or anything, just poof, CTD.
is anyone else having these issues? The games ran smooth as butter up until now.

2 online crashes today. The first time got kicked back in the main menu, the second time the game froze for 10 seconds and quit completely.

Yes, happens with me too the past few days. Completely crashes and quits the game around 15-20 minutes in. Nothing has changed so not sure why.

Edit: Just reinstalled the game and it still crashed after 15-20 minutes.

Played two LAN games today, both times crashed at the 30 minute mark. No error messages except the standard windows "there has been a problem" message.I have played pretty regularly every weekend and have had zero crashes since installing AOE in October. I did update to Win 10 Pro 1909 yesterday though.

Does the issue still persist after the server maintenance? Had this issue with 80% of my multiplayer/LAN before the maintenance. Havent had the chance to test yet
