kick kik, inside the game kick vote, make it happen

[Fandango]

i wonder why there is no kick vote functionality, sometimes in the middle of the game is obvious who will crash the game, we should be able to kick vote those ppl,

i know this could be abused, Buuuuutt, the option should exist anyway, rehosting or saving games is useless since the elo will be lost no matter if the game crashed or not, also i don't mind that if there was a kick vote realised inside the game the elo will remain the same.. i think this should be easy done, i mean like hundreds of games have it, games older than aoe2, it's not like asking for an unreal prop, or 3D camera rotation....

If by "crashing" you are referring to a player lagging/desyncing the match due to poor performance of the game's engine it would probably be better to fix the actual problem. (Hd's many performance regressions to the original.)

As a feature? It sounds like it would be a nice quality of life improvement that we will likely not get. It would be nice for ffa and diplomacy games. I am not so certain players would be willing to kick their team mate who is lagging in a traditional 3v3, 4v4 as it puts their team in a notable disadvantage.

If you don't want to wait for the developers to possibly fix hd's performance issues some day in the future try voobly if you have not. It uses the original cd version improved with userpatch and is much more stable than the hd version. While the hd version has received a significant amount of performance improvements over the years, it is still not nearly as good as the cd version with userpatch on voobly.

so i have to buy the game again to play in voobly?... or i can do it with my steam copy?

If you have the original CD version, you need only download Voobly (free) from the official page (search Voobly in your choice of search engine). If you have HD version only, then you will need to download Voobly and an extra download to make it compatiable (I'm not sure where you find this because I downloaded Voobly from the CD verion).

Hrmm no... it can be abused for other reasons. If the person doesn't leave the game willingly then I suggest you to resign and start a new match - you can do that in the first few minutes without an ELO penalty. AoE2 matches aren't ongoing like you'd expect on a game server of other games.

Actually in the first only minute, not time enough to know wether a person is going to play well or if the game isn't gonna crash, after the first minute you lose elo

I do think at the very least you should be able to kick people who have already resigned/been defeated that are causing lag. But in a 3v3 no one would want to kick there team mate unless they had already won the game imho.
