Hotkeys bug: Impossible to bind some hotkeys

  • Game Version: Premium

  • Build Number: v.100.18.56.738.0 (581026R)

  • Platform: Steam / Microsoft Store / Xbox / PlayStation

  • Operating System: Windows 10

Issue: Can’t bind/unbind some hotkeys in the ‘Military Barracks’ building and ‘Combined Ability/Train Hotkeys’ sections.

Trigger Event:

  1. ‘Military Barracks’: Trying to bind the Medium/Heavy/Champion techs for Infantry/Cavalry/Archers and the ‘ pre-queue halo of the sun’ tech.
  2. ‘Combined Ability/Train Hotkeys’: Trying to change the ‘Multiple Row N column N’ binds to use a modifier + letter combination different than ‘shift+letter’ or ‘ctrl+shift+letter’.

Repro Steps:

Military Barracks:

Open Settings ->Hotkeys -> Military Barracks Hotkeys.

  1. Try to bind the Medium/Heavy/Champion techs for Infantry/Cavalry/Archers and the ‘pre-queue halo of the sun’ tech.

  2. Notice how when you change the Medium/Heavy/Champion pre-que hotkey for an unit type, it changes for all the three, and when you change the ‘pre-queue halo of the sun’ it also changes the ‘frontline heroics’ tech.

  3. Point 2 is the reason why they can’t be rebind.

FIX:

In the default_keymap.xml file the <name> values inside of each <keymapdata> of the
pre-queue hotkeys for all cavalry and archers techs (Medium, Heavy, Champion) are wrong: The value inside of <name> says infantry, when should be say Calvary or Archers. Thats the reason why when (per example) you try to bind/unbind
the pre-queue heavy cavalry tech it changes the hotkey of pre-queue heavy infantry and pre-queue heavy archers tech, too. Pre-queue halo of the sun hotkey also have wrong value on <name>.

Combined Ability/Train Hotkeys:

First of all: I already unbind all the hotkeys what use modifiers before try to do this.

  1. Bind the ‘Multiple Row N column N’ hotkeys to use another modifier(s) different than Shift or Ctrl+Shift (those 2 modifiers combinations works good), like: Ctrl / Ctrl+Alt / Alt / Alt+Shift / Ctrl+Alt+Shift + letter.

  2. Close settings and check if works in game.

  3. Ctrl / Ctrl+Alt / Alt / Alt+Shift / Ctrl+Alt+Shift + letter modifiers doesn’t work!.
