Whenever I am in game, whether it’s campaign or skirmish, the game auto selects the nearest sentry tower when I select any unit. If I select a single unit or a group of units, it almost instantly selects the nearest sentry tower instead of what I selected. If I have no sentry towers constructed, the game works perfectly fine. I tried defaulting the hotkeys and verifying the game files. Is there anything else I should try?
It also does it in multiplayer. I realized it doesn’t necessarily happen when I select a single unit but it happens whenever I click and drag to select an area.
Update: I think I’ve managed to clarify the issue (I’ve been playing for 5 minutes and haven’t had this problem so far).
So, you need to go to the Steam directory (usually in “Program Files (x86)”). There, use Ctrl + F to search for “.cfg” and select the config.cfg file (it might also exist as “.ini”).
Rename the file config.cfg to config_old.cfg. Keep a backup of the original file in another directory, just in case.
You won’t find a .cfg file for Age of Mythology. On Steam/Retold, the settings are in XML files instead. Look for files like profile.xml, option.xml, or hotkeys.xml in your game folder.
Just make sure to check all the XML or INI files in the game folder, not a .cfg file (yeah I know, it’s boring).
I uninstalled it and reinstalled it just to make sure i had a fresh set of files. For me there are no .XML files, no .INI files, and four .cfg files called “game.cfg”, “production.cfg”, “locale.cfg”, and “development.cfg”. I know this is probably confusing since we clearly have some different things going on but I really appreciate your help!
So after uninstalling and reinstalling I went in game and unbound my hotkeys for finding towers (even though I didn’t really use hotkeys for anything) and it seemed to have worked. Thank you so much for all your help!
