Age Of Empires 2 Definitive Edition 21st Century Achievement Medal

• Today aoe2de updated automatically (ver. 362..).
  When I launched it displayed an error.
  'The application is unable to start correctly.'
  I am currently downloading aoe2de again.
  All the scores and games gone.
  Thanks

• I don`t have Legion Skin but i got Party Man... that does make no sense. Someone tried to ask support for the missing / gone skins?

• They said that the profile icons and the cheat code are the ones you keep the skins however you don't. Why did i go through all the challenges for if i don't get the skins,Ui, and the monk sounds?

• Yep, same thing. All my achievement skins + UI simply disappeared from the mod menu.

• I unlocked all the skins, but they disappeared. Is that normal? Can I get them back from Microsoft or forgotten empires without downloading a mod created by another user?

  • Same i just got on and all of my skins and the monk sound is completely gone.

• I had the Legion Skin under Mods after unlocking it, but today I logged in again and it was suddenly gone??

• Hey.
  I did all the things you've mentioned. Got achievement as well. However none of the rewards appear. Can't see avatar, no skin, cheat doesn't work. Any suggestion?
  (Have both AOEDE and AOE2DE. winstore version)
