Shift is so important because its the only way to add a new task to villager without it being Idle, Shift + Command
so you will 100% run into this bug often
Clicking Shift / ALT will run into this issue where it brings up chatbox nonstop, only way to fix it is to restart the game, but this happens way too often
Can’t play the game if shift opens chat lol what is happening?
Literally unplayable if this bug stays.
Hi guys!
I didnt manage to repro this issue. If you find a way to repro it consistently let me know please!
Thanks in advance
It doesnt happen often but it does happen occasionally, the only way to fix it is to restart the game
If reproduce bug isnt possible please add a new keybind for Additional tasks from Shift to Something
also please add WASD support, AOE4 have this and almost all modern RTS uses WASD instead of arrow keys, none use arrow keys for map movements lets be honest in 2026.
and if possible please add penalty for leaving matches 3 times in a row , people keep abusing this and its ruining new players experience
pc isnt weak in anyway and its RTX 5080
Bug has been present since years ago, only way to fix it is to add new keybinds for additional tasks, so even if this bug happen we can still use another hotkey to issue commands
