Could you please paste me the full error message regarding the Game Component Problem?

it never showed me the full message. I could only read the caption.
Out of almost 200 crashes so far, this crash was slow enough for to read that.

You have to download the right version of voobly i guess, i had the same issue.

I have win11. Which one is the right one?

Did you download any of the patches from third party web sites?

no, I didnt download it from anywhere else

Hi,

Try running the game in Single Player mode from the game directory and see if it crashes.

Try clean installing voobly as well:

Download Voobly client from here:

US (Win 10/11) : https://update.voobly.com/updates/voobly-v2.3.3.0.exe
EU (Win 10/11) : https://static.voobly.com/updates/voobly-v2.3.3.0.exe

Running AOE from its folder never crashed. I tried just now and it worked fine.

I also executed rest of the steps as advised and issue persists.

Is there a download link for AOE too?
