the lag was REALLY bad when the game was released. its A LOT better now. but i think the lag is 100% server side. it just depends on what server you land on. i'd suggest choosing the region that you're from and hope for the best (what region are you from?).
i dont think there is much you can do. its luck of the draw. nowadays i land on laggy servers only about 10% of the time, while back in the day it was like 90%.

-Can you show a picture of your server connections? If you use a green server it should work fine.

-What happens if you host a 1v1 multiplayer against an AI and fight it by yourself? Do you still lag?

[ALL c.o. HALL]

as i said, in online multiplayer game ist laggin (1vs1 \7vs1, AI or humas), units respond like a minute after, 120-160 fps

if it is single game i have no problem 8 cpu, ludacris map , 500 pop limit. 160fps

-Hmm interesting. I have seen only one or two people tops report a problem like yours.

-You have done this already but try removing the games from your firewall and antivirus then readding them to the exceptions list and whitelist.

-Also ensure your wifi is OFF. Make sure you're playing in 150 ping or less for your specific issue.

I found an error about this, if you play only against bots (without real people) in multiplayer goes lagg, you can't really play but if you play with one more person even if it is against bots the game is going perfect. I comment as anecdote because if you want to play against bots without people it can be done in singleplayer but I comment in case it can be fixed, in my case I tried this to test the multiplayer since I recently bought the game, if you add a real person the game is perfect, in fact it surprises me how well the game is going with respect to the `` HD edition '' really, a good job has been done above all with the multiplayer

I got the same problem! Lag is insane in multiplayer nowadays. Was fine before the latest update they released. Now there is like a 1 to 5 minute 'click' lag whilst in-game which makes it completely unplayable on multiplayer.

My wife and I play aoe2 de together on two laptops connected as a lan. Or that is we used to. Our laptops are the same model and benchmark at 1152.7 I can play a single player game against 7 AI with no problem. As soon as we try a multiplayer game everything chokes. We set up with two human players teamed together against 3 teams of 2 AI players. By the time I have started to send my 4 sheep to the town centre, research a villager, build 2 houses and set the other two villagers to the sheep, the lags have started. By the time I have 5 or 6 villagers I can click on them and they simply ignore my commands. Meanwhile the server clocks are showing blue. The scout that I have sent out moves but in fits and starts. This game used to at least be playable, though there would be lags and sprints. But now it has become unplayable. I hope they will fix this soon as we used to love playing this game.

I'm also in trouble (me, my wife and my friends are ALL having the same problem!!!!) .... I can't play with my friends due to lags .... in the past I played very well without any problems ... now depending on the map or the day, it's impossible to play multiplayer .... they need to fix this, this is the only game that i installed, that does not work multiplayer .... Regrettable!!
My computer and internet are of excellent quality, I don't understand why this game is very bad in connection/ping

I am suddenly experiencing this today. Lag never happened for me, but now, even though the clock (connection icon) is blue, I am lagging heavily. This started happening just tonight.

Just to add a little more to my earlier post the other day. Today I set up the usual 2 human 6 AI game. First game was using two laptops connected by an ethernet cable and using one as the lan based server. The lag was so bad it was impossible to play. I had villagers being killed by a spearman because any commands given to units was taking over 20 seconds to be registered, sometimes they were not registered at all. Similar experience with using the default server. Pretty much the same when I cut the numbers down to just 2 AI opponents. The only game that was playable was when I set one up against my wife with no AI as a lan based game. Here the game was playable, but there were lags and sprints. The only way to play that gives a consistent performance at the moment appears to be single player.

This game has recently got worse. Earlier in January we were able to play against 6 AI on a lan based game with a few lags and sprints. Now the game has become unusable as a two player game. The laptops are identical models with separate graphics processors and both benchmark at 1152.7

The improved game play, when it works, leaves us dissatisfied now with the old AOE HD but it is so frustrating to not be able to use the DE version.
