:arrow_forward: I literally cannot build walls anymore

Today I played a few multiplayer matches with my friend. I cannot build any walls anymore. This happened while playing the French and British. I did not play any other Civs. My friend had to build all walls for me. I never experienced this bug on the last patches.

:arrow_forward: It happens every single game

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

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Be me
  2. Launch game and get into multiplayer battle
  3. Get some wood, try to build a wall: select a settler, click icon that shows wall, left click where you want to start building the wall.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

settler moves to wall foundation and starts building.

:arrow_forward: ACTUAL RESULT

no foundation placed, settler does not move, no wood spent.

Turning off hotkey conflicts fixed the issue for me (fortunately I am okay with that).

If you can’t turn off hotkey conflicts, try holding shift while you place walls.

Still a really bad bug that should be fixed ASAP!

Same problem for me. Holding shift while placing the wall is a workaround.

At the moment two things will fix it either turn off allow hotkey conflicts or hold shift when placing walls.

Thank you! I will try your solution.

Both of these workaround from DapperTrout1297 worked.

(I’ll update more ASAP)
Here is the problem I’m experiencing…
Cant make walls, in certain conditions. Still figuring out what conditions.

Case 1:
Civ: India, Mode: treaty!

Destroyed a wall piece (1 pilar+2 walls),
then tried to rejoin it! I cant!

Case 2:

Civ: India, Mode: Supremacy 2v2

Tried to wall the edge of map.
After selecting wall icon from vilager menu, as soon as I clicked a pillar! I couldn’t.
The cursor deselects everything.

It has happened at least more than 4-5 times. Firstly I thought, it happens
when I select the same villager to rebuilt the walls, so I tried a different villager but it doesn’t happen.

My wild guesses for causes:

*It probably related to the reconstructing a wall

OR

*The settler/villager issue of India I mentioned earlier.

OR

*the bug that deselects vils after shift+click

:question: List the DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Build walls as India(Haven’t tried with other civs)
  2. Delete a fragment of wall near the edge
  3. Try to rebuild it.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

Wall should be built

:arrow_forward: ACTUAL RESULT

Everything Deselects as is I clicked an empty space

The empty space thing i dont know a fix for except for shift but the walls might be enabled if you turn off conflicts in hotkeys, but from what i know its a bug that hits everyone and is probably being worked on atm

Hey guys, I had this same issue come up half way through a match since the 5 November update. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, restored UI settings but none of these helped.

What resolved the issue for me was defaulting keybinds and disabling ‘Allow Conflicts’ for keybinds.
I haven’t had an issue since.

Can’t also make walls. I have to chose betwee not being able to make walls whatsoever and being unable to shift click or turning off “allow conflicts” and play without market or tactics/abilities hotkeys.
Ofc both options suck ¬¬’

Hi! I’m only reporting in to say I had this exact issue too. I hope they’ll fix it asap. Being unable to use my own keybindigs sucks. The fixes mentioned above do work but they are limiting the gameplay.

hi same problem please hotfix this bug

please close this topic wall bug fixed
