Builder build menus unusable

Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug

  • GAME BUILD #: 101.102.15522.0 #81058 10944061
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When attempting to have a villager build, the menu is glitching. From the top menu which houses four options: buildings, military buildings, repair and garrison. If I click on buildings it will show briefly and then go back to the top build menu. Same behavior clicking on military buildings. The sub menu appears for a fraction of a second before moving back to the top menu. Sometimes I’m able to use hot keys such as qq to build a house or qa to build a farm, but this is also buggy because the game wants to stay on that top menu.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck.

Click a villager, try to build something

Hi @jlj4774
This is a really strange issue that nobody else reported. Are you using mods that could interfere with the UI? If so, please try disabling them and then restarting the game.
If you are not using mods, please try verifying integrity of game files :slight_smile:

Hello, thanks for trying to help. It seems this was related to a specific game. I did a file validation and thankfully it came back OK but for this one session it continued. I gave up and started a different one and we’re OK now. So if anyone’s reading this in the future, just start a new game, I guess…

+1 on this issue. its becoming more frequent and I end up having to restart games, often back to back games. game is unplayable until multiple restarts have happened

This still happens from time to time, once it happens the game is unplayable and I have to start from scratch.

No mods
Verification of game files finds no issues

Sometimes (not always) when this occurs the game comes to a slow crawl as if there’s not enough resources to play the game. This is funny because I recently upgraded to a much more capable PC and this was never an issue on my prior PC.
