Same happening here. Every button I press changes to W. I can only change the hotkeys to Ctrl-W, Shift-W and Ctrl-Shift-W.

On Steam, Linux (Ubuntu 20.04), and Proton 7.0-6

same. since it seems to be linux only problem i think were screwed until somebody with some deep wine knowledge can fix it. Im gonna try some different proton versions, but so far have to use an old proton just to get it to not crash in multiplayer so i doubt will find anything.

EDIT: I was using proton version 7 and proton_aoe2de_mpfix before. I switched to the experimental proton version and now I can set hotkeys. Now testing if I can play multiplayer without crashes…

EDIT 2: IT WORKS! multiplayer doesn’t crash with proton experimental for me now and hotkey changing works. I am currently using the github script i was using before, and proton experimental.

I’ve tried using Proton Experimental, however it’s stuck in “Preparing to launch” step. Have you faced this bug?

I am witnessing the same issue, but using CrossOver on Mac M1 to play AoE via Steam. Any suggestions? :slight_smile: Thanks in advance.

I actually found a workaround (kind of).

The bugs seem to be only on Proton 7.0 version. I switched to Proton 6 and now I’m able to set hotkeys (Similar solution from @simon). I haven’t tried multiplayer yet

EDIT:

Multiplayer doesn’t work by default (like Proton 7.0). But using proton_aoe2de_mpfix works fine
