Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug

:arrow_forward: GAME INFORMATION

  • GAME BUILD #: 78757
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When in the scenario editor menu (scenario overview) and using the search box, using the left and right arrow keys freeze the game to an irrecoverable state. This only happens when opening the scenario menu (overview of all scenarios) from another scenario. Opening this from the main menu does not cause this bug.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Open scenario editor menu (single player > editor)
  2. Click a scenario and load it up
  3. After the scenario loaded, click on load scenario in the menu
  4. Type something in the chatbox (at least 1 char)
  5. Use the left/right arrow keys to navigate
  6. ~~ ~~ Experience the freeze ~~ ~~

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

No freeze like what happens when you open the scenario editor menu from the main menu

Quick side note: This issue has been present for a looong time (years) - this doesn’t have anything to do with recent updates :slightly_smiling_face:
