:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

Key binding shift+alt+s doesn’t work. Any other combination would work except this comb. The bug only triggers when the game actually starts, meaning that you can bind the key without issue in the hotkey menu.

Hello @dstplayer
Are you having any warning with red letters when you set this hotkey?

3

Here I use shift+alt+s frequently, no problems. I don’t use default hotkeys, so for me this selects all military buildings.
I would also suspect of a hotkey conflict.

4

no. you can try it on ur own. I have several friends tried it already. None of them works.

5

can you please try and confirm it works for you? 3 people including me have confirmed that this specific comb doesn’t work.

This bug is introduced silently two days ago. Please try and confirm that works for you. I’ll be very surprised.

I want to be very clear, there is no hotkey conflict. I have been using this comb to select all archery ranges for 5 years. It suddenly stopped working two days ago.

Yes it’s working for me, I binded them for Archery Ranges and it works. Could you tell me what keyboard layout are you using? With ISO spanish keyboard it works.
