:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Issue is caused by all Control Groups is hardcoded to always be on 1–9. If you change for example Hotkey: “Select Group 1” (default=1) to a different key, lets say “w” then both “1” and “w” Selects Control Group 1.
When you change another hotkey to use key “1” then game always going to select control group 1, so if you changed make Barack to be on the key “1” then this hotkey always fail.

How to fix? remove hardcoding on control groups on 1–9 and make hotkey you set ingame is the one selecting control group.
