'Move Camera With Mouse' Hotkey stop working

Age of Mythology: Retold Report a Bug

In update 17.43876 that hotkey stopped working.
I’ve tried changing it to a lot of different hotkeys, it just doesn’t work.

Without that hotkey I don’t know if there is another native way of moving the screen, I’ve tried middle mouse drag, right mouse drag, nothing happens.

Using arrows works but is not what I use, ‘Move Camera With Mouse’ => this hotkey was perfect for my gameplay

Update: to complement the finding: I created a new hotkey profile ( my previous one was assigned the value ‘Legacy’ after this update) and with the new one the right click + drag works momentaneously. As soon I make a hotkey change to that key ‘Move Camera With Mouse’ then nothing works, nor hotkey+drag, nor right click + drag.

I’m with you brother. I was using the scroll wheel of Move Camera with Mouse and it completely broke for me after the new patch. Others from reddit have said they’re having the same issue. If it helps, so far I’ve found the “best” work around is to switch the hotkey to Ctrl + Right Click, since just Right Click will mess with your units current commands if you have unit selected, and Shift + Right Click messes with units shift commands. It’s still not a great solution since I really don’t want to relearn such an essential hotkey, but until they fix it I guess it’s the best we got.

I’ve created a simple AutoHotkey (AHK) script as a temporary workaround to let you use a custom hotkey for the Move Camera with Mouse command. By default, this script uses XButton1 (the side mouse button), but you can easily change it to any key you prefer.

Setup:

  1. In your game settings, assign Ctrl + Right Click to the Move Camera with Mouse command.
  2. Run the AHK script while the game is open.
    #Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance force

exe := "AoMRT_s.exe"
if !winWait("ahk_exe" exe,, 300)
   exitApp
winWaitClose
exitApp

#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe" exe)
XButton1:: Send "{Ctrl down}{RButton down}"
XButton1 up:: Send "{Ctrl up}{RButton up}"

How It Works:

  • When you press XButton1, it triggers Ctrl + Right Click to move the camera with the mouse.
  • The script automatically exits when the game is closed, so you don’t need to manually stop it.
