[Alley-C]

So the AOE 4 stress test starts today for the duration of the weekend and its available to anyone:

Make Your Mark On History with the Age of Empires IV Technical Stress Test - Age of Empires

Great way to try out the game before you buy but if you an AOE fan like my self you'll still end up buying it anyway.

This is going to be fun. Did anyone here play on the closed beta?

It says mine is about 8 bananas. Is that good?

Depends.
Are they Chiquita bananas?

So I've played 3 games so far.
My PC restarted on the last 2 games, one right at the start and the other 10 minutes in.
Anyone experienced issues yet?

 

[Alley-C]

I played about 5-6 games last night with no issues.
However it turns out I'm not as good as I thought I was against humans compared to the AI.

Lol, yup I discovered my skill was lacking with AOE3 online.
I'm not crashing anymore, but my C: M.2 is sitting at 58C...is that too hot?

I just played for about 2.5 hours and the hottest my M.2 got was 48C, which is think is fine, my case does have good airflow and the rest of my PC barely gets hot playing this game.

I opened my case and played another 3 games, I didn't crash again although the temp was still 57/58.
I've been getting BSOD's recently though, so maybe there's some driver issue.

Do you have a heatsink or fan on your M.2? I don't.

Thats really strange I haven't had a single crash and everytime I start up the game it tells me my Nvidia drivers are out of date lol. I was expecting crashes cause I'm on a Amd 5600x.

No heat sinks or fans on my M.2, its an old Intel M.2 not even PCIE Gen 4.
