Incorrect default hotkeys on QWERTZ layout

  • Game Version: v.100.17.22308.0 (481060R)

  • Build Number: 15530485 (as listed in Steam)

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 10

Issue:

On QWERTZ keyboard layouts (typically used in German speaking countries) the Y and Z key have switched positions. By default all keybinds match their positions in the icon grid on the UI. With QWERTZ layouts this is not the case anymore and it would probably be smart to detect the user’s layout and switch those two keys to match the intent that was put in for QWERTY.

Until there is a fix I’ve manually fixed it by doing custom keybinds (which was a pain since there is so much).

You can get the keybindings here QWERTZKeybindings.txt (23.7 KB)
To use it save the file to C:\Users\yourUserName\Games\Age of Mythology Retold\yourSteamIdHere\users and rename it to LocalKeybindings.xml.
!!! If you have already made changes to your keybindings you need to merge the XML configs together or they will be lost !!!

I have not thoroughly tested everything so I might well have missed something, if you recognize any issues with it please report it here.
