Game freezes to a halt (unrecoverable) after using up/down arrow keys in scenario editor menu

Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug
1

:arrow_forward: GAME INFORMATION

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

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When navigating through the scenario editor menu using the up and down arrow keys freezes the game irrecoverably. 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. Click a scenario (don’t open it)
  5. Use the up/down 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:

Error: Body is too similar to what you recently posted
