Single click could unintentionally select multi units

Age of Empires II: DE II - Report a Bug

:arrow_forward: GAME INFORMATION

  • GAME BUILD #: 99311
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 11

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When I single left-click a vil under TC from a group of hunters, it’s way too easy to select 2 or more vils. It’s not a drag-select, just a single click.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Create a scenario with 10+ vils eating a boar
  2. Try single click to select a vil, repeat.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

Single click should select only 1 unit.

Notice, I didn’t drag-selected. You will see a box appearing if it’s a drag.

I’m very glad that I’m not alone on this, I have reported it too (Premature drag box formation in ‘DE’).

This should have been high priority. I first noticed the downgrade to the quality of picking a single unit in the beta of DE, and it still exists.

I found a potential workaround: DragOptions | Set Mouse Drag Sensitivity and Optionally Disable Right-Click Drag

Haven’t done a rigorous test but I do feel fewer unintentional selections from single clicks.

I have the same feeling when the mouse moved a little bit when clicking by accident
