GAME INFORMATION

^{These details are CRITICAL; DO NOT skip them or your issue may not be reviewed.}

GAME BUILD: 101.103.2359.0 (#133431) 17001014
GAME PLATFORM: Steam
OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

ISSUE EXPERIENCED

^{DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.}
After getting the necessary victories for Georgians and Armenians, the player icons unlock only during the single session. After relaunching the game, the Georgian/Armenian wins are reset and player icons are lost again.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

^{How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!}

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

REPRODUCTION STEPS

^{List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!}

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

Start a game as Georgians/Armenians - regicide, post imp, infinite resources, slow speed
kill the enemy king, save the game (right after the final hit, but before the victory)
load up the save and keep replaying until you get 10 (or 100) wins
check the player icons
restart the game
check the player icons again

EXPECTED RESULT

^{What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?}

you should keep the player icons unlocked, but they are reset

IMAGE

^{ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.}

GAME FILES (SAVE / RECORDING)

^{Attach a SAVE GAME (.aoe2spgame) or GAME RECORDING (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue. Link it below if using an external file service.}

Honestly, it’s past the “ridiculous” point already. This thing has been reported in late 2023 - a year and a half have passed and still nothing? That’s borderline crazy.

These icons get reset after every aoe2 launch, so if indeed a QA tester tried to reproduce it, managed to unlock the icons by save/loading a skirmish, and said “oh, welp, it works, let’s move on”, without checking again after restarting their game, is probably not the best testing/bug reproducing in my brutally honest opinion.

Just fix it, pretty please…it’s so simple.
