Hotkeys reset when I restart the game

Game Version: 101.101.32708.0.0

  • Platform (Microsoft Store)

Issue:
I set all my Hotkeys and was able to play with them, but when I close the game and start it again, my Hotkeys are always the standart ones again. I also tried to use a new Hotkey Profile, but that did not help at all.

Reproduction Steps:

  1. Set new Hotkeys
  2. Confirm them
  3. Close and open the game
  4. Check Hotkeys

Got the same problem and got rid of that. Not sure what cured the problem so here we go :

  • Found the config files in [%USERPROFILE%]\Games\Age of Empires 2 DE,
  • Tried to import hotkeys from HD Edition because why not,
  • Didn’t work, restarted the game a couple of time and nothing changed,
  • Deleted the config files and unchecked “read-only” on properties,
  • Restarted the game. Every profiles were deleted BUT MY HD PROFILE. No idea why. Everything was off tho, so I had to rebind everything.

The folders are back on their “read-only” state but at least I can finally change my hotkeys.
