:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When tasking villagers on things (hunts, gold, buildings, walls, etc.) clicking on the targeted things does not actually select it on the first attempt. You have to click approx 3,4 times on everything and slightly move your mouse between the attempts to select the target. This seems to be some kind of extremely frustrating mouse click issue(lag?), that appeared in the last build.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

This occurs in 100% of games and last for the entire duration of the game.

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Start a game (MP or skirmish does not matter).
Select a villager.
Try to task the villager on something, for example click on a hunt.
The villager does not shoot the hunt.
Try and click again, the villager does not shoot the hunt.
Try and click again… after some attempts the villager shoots the hunt. The chances of this happening are higher when you move your mouse just a slight bit between the attempts.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

The villager should shoot the hunt (build the wall, building, start gathering, etc.) when clicking on the target on the first attempt.

This occurs when clicking anything on the map as well. If you shift click several times on the minimap to create a route for your explorer, you can notice clearly that most of the clicks are not even being registered. This makes the game unplayable in ranked.

This turned out to be a hardware issue, not an issue with the game.
The problem does not occur when using another mouse.

The bug report can be closed. I am marking this reply as a solution.
