I am having the same issue… I got used to this setting and it won’t work at all since last update

I have checked with my 5 friends playing AOE3: DE, the setting doesn’t work for any of us since last update.

Build is V 100.12.14825.0

This function is essential to me because it is difficult for me to distinguish different units without this function. If possible, I wish there would be more customizable options to this function (outline thickness, colors, types of objects it would take effect…). Thank you!
