ISSUE EXPERIENCED

^{DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.}
On a 104/105 key layout for a keyboard there is a button between left SHIFT and Z key (for a QWERTY keyboard).

I can set that key as a shortcut, but it does not appear in the hotkey list, it appears empty. In another game the hotkey is identified as Key 56, on my keyboard the default for it is the < character.

My language setting is Icelandic, my Windows and AOE2 are in English.

Hi @Hagbardur
I have a similar layout and could reproduce, I informed the team about the issue, thank you

[UnwornFob661]

After the DLC patch i got this key unbinded and i cannot bind it again.

+1 here with a Spanish ISO keyboard, the key < does not work anymore during gameplay. Completely gamebreaking with my set of hotkeys.

Same problem with French keyboard
But for me the hotkey doesn’t work

Same problem with Czech keyboard. The key between left Shift and Z on 105-keyboard can’t be assigned to ingame hotkey now.

[Hagbardur]

Yes, patch today broke it so that button is now unusable. I was hoping for a better solution

[Harooooo1]

Same here, i can no longer use the < key as hotkey, gets ubound automatically to ??? after saving and reopening the hotkey options

[ThePikaKhan]

Same in french keyboard.

[pasatho]

You have date for a correction for this problem ?
Regards

[Felizon89]

I’m sorry but I can’t provide an ETA I just know the team is already working on it. Sorry for the incoveniences.

[pasatho]

ok no porblem, thank for the report

Key 56 gets assigned following todays patch!

I had to reset it, it still showed just ALT- after patch but redoing the hotkey now shows key 56 (in my case < ) correctly.

Looks like this can be closed for now! Thank you.
