Aoe2 Validating Subscriptions Info

Since AoE2 DE requires Xbox Live integration for multiplayer features and crossplay, issues with your Xbox account or its link to the game can trigger validation errors. This is especially true if you've recently changed your password, signed into a different account, or there's a temporary issue with Microsoft's authentication servers.

You can’t skip validation even if you only want to play campaigns or vs. AI. An offline mode would be a huge QoL improvement. aoe2 validating subscriptions
