Finally able to convince my old AOE2HD 4v4 group to buy and try DE (they were resisting because of the graphic change and I spent a lot of times to convince them the new one is better).

Then we tried to play a 4v4 and BAM, one person crashed. Tried again and again for more than an hour without any finished game. Someone always crashes in the middle

Now they’re all back to HD and I will not dare to ask them again for a long time

So far I only have one crash while watching the replay, so I did not think the problem is that bad Could be because I have a gaming PC (2700x, 32GB RAM) while they’re all using laptop. The problem is the game is smooth while it is working, and they passed the benchmark, so it’s not like their laptop does not meet the requirement.
