Just a small subject for those who can encounter the same problem i got for some month. I just found this morning . I had been stuck at around 60 fps when playing on ep (while not on re), the game and move in game was jerky which can be very annoying when you know you can play at 200+. Disable vsync was a first step for some time but then it dropped again. So finally i figure out that the esoc patch launcher is using the wrong graphics cards by default :
it is known, can you check out whether it works properly for you on the Beta?
dunno if it cause of the ep code or not
The problem is that graphics drivers are hardcoded to recognize regular AoE3 as a game that needs high end graphics, but when you launch a mod like EP, they have no clue what that is. This means it requires more work for us to force EP being recognized as a game and ensure it's run on the right GPU.
Im lucky in my case that my cpu doesnt have integrated graphics (intel high end cpu) so it forces my graphics card to run the game. Might be why my laptop doesnt work well with ep.

What operating system are you on? In Windows 10 there's a "Graphics Settings" screen where you can force GPU use for specific applications. Can you try:
Type "graphics settings" in the start menu and go to that screen
Click Browse, select the EP exe (that's age3f.exe from your game folder, which might be something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Age Of Empires 3\bin if you're on Steam)
Select it, click Options
Select High Performance and click Save
Start the game from EP launcher or by running age3f.exe directly

Thanks a lot, I just disabled and enabled the graphic crad and that seemed to fix the problem, I have 1000+ fps on EP too now.
