It already used to be impossible to middle mouse button scroll/pan while holding ctrl or alt in the previous patches but at least you could middle button scroll while shift was held for simultaneous actions.
Now in the PUP you can’t even scroll w/ the middle button while shift is held.
On top of that it scrolls into the opposite direction whereas in AoE 2 and SC2 it scrolls into the direction you move the cursor which makes it unpleasant particularly for players from those games.
Scrolling is really no fun any more. It would be really important to be able to leave Shift pressed or not. Otherwise you’ll keep clicking yourself off. Devs please look into it
I have actually found a solution to this problem. If you bind mouse button 3 (MiddleMouse) and Shift+Mouse button 3, then both work.
Unfortunately, only one key can be bound in the game for the scrolling function. However, this can be avoided if you write the setting directly into the file where the settings are saved.
The file can be found under: C:\Users\XXXX\Documents\My Games\Age of Empires IV\keyBindingProfiles
{
command = "pan",
keycombos =
{
{
combo = "MouseMiddle",
repeatCount = -1,
},
{
combo = "Shift+MouseMiddle",
repeatCount = -1,
},
},
},
Take care of correct syntax in this file. At the End you have two Binding Options in the game. kekw
Happy scrolling.
