Nothing else running in anger alongside the game though. Screen 1 is for the game while screen 2 usually has a multiple tabbed chrome window on as well as Spotify, WhatsApp and anything else I have idling. Hopefully someone here can help me with some troubleshooting ideas or tips. I have verified the integrity of the game cache on Steam. I could install the gaming driver and see if it fixes? Am I pressing/holding a key that would auto close it? I use hotkeys in-game but definitely not Alt+F4.Īside from that, could it be the Nvidia driver?

It was simply playing fine one second and the next I am looking at the steam client. There was no halt in gameplay - no blank screen or any pausing that would make me expect a crash.

When I play AOE2 for a bit, the games stops, then closes down but with the game music still playing.
