Happened on my end as well, hopefully, this will get fixed by tomorrow

Can confirm this: Shift click fails the first time and the villager gets deselected. Upon re-selecting the villager the next shift click works.

Shift clicking only movement orders work fine though.

So for me when I activate the hotkeys conflicts its puts the bug shift, when I disabled the hotkey conflicts its removes the bug for me, I hope that is the solution, for me its working, I no longer have the bug,

hope it can help

To the developers, I think it might be a good idea to let a few gamers test the patch prior to releasing it…even if it delays the release by a day or 2.

This shift click bug would have been spotted straight away…and the other bugs from previous patches

It is just sad that we have to do these things for certain aspects to work in a game. Is like working around the bug. Which is understandable but that bug should be fixed ASAP

it is especially for the devs, if its can accelerate the resolution of the bug

Hey everyone! Circling around to confirm that we are investigating this internally. In the meantime, a suggested workaround is to disable the “Allow Conflict” setting in the legacy hotkeys menu. This may cause issues with your custom hotkeys, but is a temporary fix while the team works to identify, build, test, and implement a permanent solution.
