Yeah the game probably is in the worst conditions since launch atm.
I personally didn’t experience a single crash in recent times but a large part of the community does and they get banned for it every single time.
I don’t understood why this dumb ban system is still active.
I mean people still dodge map anyways.
They happily wait 1 or 2 min after couple of bans and from there on they just let the game start and delete all their stuff.
And looking at another horrible map pool after last one probably was worst one in aoe history I can’t blame them because 3 bans simply aren’t enough these days.
I sincerely hope that ostensibly huge next update will bring a change to matchmaking (the crashing issue hopefully is resolved way before).
