List of unfixed bugs

[Harooooo1]

This is not an official list of monitored bugs. It is just an attempt of trying to keep an eye on the most important bugs and not lose track of them. If you discover a bug report that isn’t yet linked here, feel free to share it so I can add it to the list.

Updated: 10th October, 2021

Gameplay:

• Unit pathing calculation still really bad, units can get confused around gates or when moving to a direction more than 20 tiles away. Units take weird paths around walls or wood lines, units will not want to go around a wall even if it is clearly open right next to it, causing major gameplay issues etc…

• Villagers not properly going back to work, just standing idle near a farm/mine/tree without showing up as an idle

• Units can still indefinitely bump into each other in some cases as well.

• SHIFT queueing attacks with melee units still broken 2 years after release of Definitive Edition, only works when on Stand Ground

• Shift queue breaks for a group of ranged units after issuing a 2nd shift command if the 1st shift command is Attack

• Opponents in Ranked automatically muted before game starts

• Donjon range indicators are extremely inaccurate at the corners (Range Indicator still incorrect for some building shapes)

• Waypoint incorrectly set after doing multiple actions in succession (Quickly switching from a unit to a Town Center can cause the TC gather point to change to a random place)

• Units sometimes do a teleport when tasked to attack

• Units can pass through walls in some cases

• Attack notifications are sometimes played late or not played at all

• Sometimes can’t place buildings behind a wall that’s being attacked by melee units

• Villagers chased by boars will stop and fight back if they are right clicked to a different resource (legacy behavior and considered a bug per say)

• Unique Techs and Civilization Bonuses are inconsistently affecting Heroes and Custom Scenario Units

• Eastern European Stable looks bigger than it actually is (4x3 instead of 3x3)

• Elite Steppe Lancer upgrade obstructed by Elite Battle Elephant in All Tech Mode

• Ballistics fails to hit fast units moving in a straight line (supposedly by design)

User Interface, Lobby, Spectated Games:

• Cannot watch recorded games that happened on an older patch (by design)

• The game forgets your settings about the Spectator Panel for viewing global queue of players every time you play a match (claimed to be fixed in the 6th October patch but clearly isn’t)

• Watching recorded games of Campaign maps desyncs in the first couple minutes

• Lobby browser bugged (and lobby browser search feature still sort of slow and unresponsive)

• After a game starts two players may have identical color, without being in CO OP mode

• New menu animations are unresponsive and take time to animate

• Civ Selection Interface for Indians shows icon of Heavy Camel as unique unit, instead of Imperial Camel

• Save game browser taking a long time to load

• Weird Interface Bug (not much impactful but worth mentioning)

Hotkeys Suggestions/Issues:

• “Go to Donjon” and “Select all Donjons” don’t respond if set to the same hotkeys as “Go to Krepost” and “Select all Kreposts”

• Ungarrisoning from allied buildings/ships/siege weapons doesn’t have a hotkey, and is only doable via clicking on the Ungarrison Button (issue present since Age of Kings)

• F10 can not be re-assigned in the Hotkeys Options

• Elite Steppe Lancer upgrade shares the hotkey with Elite Battle Elephant, please let us separately assign it

• Technology hotkeys at the 2nd Dock page don’t work if pressing them from the 1st page, even if there are no conflicts

• Xolotl Warrior hotkey is hardcoded to use the Scout Cavalry hotkey, please let us separately assign it

• Gate rotation hotkey should be prioritized over building hotkey

• Some hotkeys at dock didn't work

AI, Campaigns, Scenario Editor:

• AI building lumber camps on straggler trees, sometimes even inside enemy base

• Campaign language errors (concerning every language except English)

• AI behaving weirdly on reloaded game

• Placing walls in scenario editor still works in the old legacy way (L-shaped walls are placed, even though the “placing display” hints that the walls should be placed via the new method which prevents L-shaped walls from appearing)

Modding:

• Search Radius is capped at LoSx2 [Edit]

• [BUG] UIColors.json HealthBar definition only affects CommandPanel

• Resource 210 (Reveal Relics) not firing after the start of the game - unsure if fixed

• Resource 210 (Reveal Relics) reveals the whole line of sight instead of just the unit - unsure if fixed

• RMS bug: Connection to non-player land breaks other connections

Huh, time to get housed much sooner for that housed-omg-WheelBarrow-save-me-from-TCidletime, that will get some time getting used to…

[Temudhun]

Did they finally fix the bug with the ennemy building disappearing in the fog of war when they were last in your allies line of sight rather than yours?

[Harooooo1]

I wasn’t aware of that one. I will check it sometime today and add it if it still happens.

[Temudhun]

I mostly noticed it in campaigns and historical battles, never paid attention if this happened in other modes. It’s especially not ideal when it makes towers and castles disappear.

[Harooooo1]

Are you sure that isn’t working normally as intended? I think when allies in campaigns betray you, you lose sight of their buildings.

[Temudhun]

I’m not talking about when an ally betray you, I’m talking about when an ally unit move across the map, gets an ennemy building in its line of sight and then move away. As soon as the fog of war cover the building again, it disappears. I doubt it’s working as intended since a building last seen by one of your own unit stay visible in the fog of war. However, if the same building is seen by an ally unit next, it will also become invisible when it’s covered by the fog of war.
As I said, I only noticed it in campaigns and historical battles so far.

@GMEvangelos

Thanks for the added note. It appears that the team has identified the issue and has a fix in testing. It is unlikely to drop until the quarterly update, though please feel free to make a case that lets us know this is significant enough to warrant prioritizing over other issues. Otherwise, keep an eye out for the fix in a future update!

Minor:
Sometimes Enemy Buildings Return Invisible when not in LOS (reported on November 19th)

Lol yeah it really is ‘minor’

@GMEvangelos Hi, I added some more bugs here to the list (in the 1st and 2nd parts of the post) since a few days ago, and linked most of them to their bug report threads. I assume you are already tracking most of them, but I’m just checking in any case if maybe you missed a couple.

[CoffeeKitten305]

Double clicking the gates selects gates which are not in your view.
All the gates you have placed get selected.

[LinieSpreu12610]

it selects all Gates that are in the square of your mini map. Its still bugged yeh, just saying how you can avoid it

[Harooooo1]

@CoffeeKitten305

Double clicking the gates selects gates which are not in your view.
All the gates you have placed get selected.

that bug was fixed months ago

The only thing that may make you think that its unfixed is maybe if you have a gate which is just under the UI of the map for example, or the UI of the unit selection. The game treats that area as visible, even though its not visible by the default UI. Thats why I recommend installing some Transparent UI mod so that you can see under it.

@Harooooo1

that bug was fixed months ago

It is definetively not fixed, I just tested it in the Scenario Editor. But it seems to occur only on southwest-northeast oriented gates.

edit: I just noticed that in the official list of known issues (https://support.ageofempires.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049490811-Known-Issues-Solutions), the status is “Fix Awaiting Update”, so it will hopefully be fixed soon.

[LinieSpreu12610]

Guys you didnt read my post? Its not fixed and it selects all Gates that are not only on your screen but also on the white square on your mini map

[Harooooo1]

I tested it now and seems to still happen to Palisade Gates. Can select all palisade gates from the whole map if you double click a few times.

Stone gates work fine.

[LinieSpreu12610]

Nope, it is for stone gates aswell. It happened to me and I saw it in streams

[Harooooo1]

Currently I have almost 30 bugs linked in this list of mine. After the patch at the end of october hits, I will check the game to see how many of these bugs are fixed, and make a new list after that.

[Harooooo1]

Doesn’t look too good in terms of bug fixes for the next patch. In the youtube teaser for October Update they announced the fixing of 3-4 bugs only. I hope it’s more.

At least the good thing is that the Wheelbarrow bug is one of the fixed ones.

[LinieSpreu12610]

In my opinion they adressed the most important things that are really relevant
