Hi
For the last few days I've had this weird problem with the game stuttering/freezing in multiplayer. It looks like the game is stopping/freezing for half a second every 1-2 seconds which makes it unplayable. Single player works perfectly fine, tested on 4v4 extreme difficulty, not a single lag in late game. I have 300 mbps fiber, can watch twitch/youtube in 1080p with zero problems.
Two things make me scratch my head:
- literally nothing changed in my computer during that time. I finished one game, started another and the freezes started happening
- it doesn't happen in every game. Sometimes I can play a few games perfectly fine and then next game becomes power point
What I've tested so far:
- I have the FPS limit set to 120. Changing/disabling this option doesn't matter
- Veryfied game files
- Reinstalled the game including deleting the games/AOE folder
- Temperatues in HWINFO don't exceed 80C which is fine for my laptop
- The only thing I've noticed so far is that the number in red circle on the screenshot goes up and down really fast when it happens
Any ideas what could it be and what to try?
