:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
When playing any ranked online game (it happens in every game), I will select villagers to garrison into the towncenter, and quickly ungarrison them to help save time, or to hide the villagers. When I am finished garrisoning the villagers, it automatically selects the towncenter where they are hiding. Now, usually you can just quickly hit the “ungarrison” button to put them back outside, but half the time the actual UI in the bottom left of the screen disappears, so I cannot select Anything at all. Can’t even make villagers. So, I have to de-select the towncenter, click on something else completely, then click back to the TC and it will now have all the UI buttons back again. This is a pain as you can imagine.

possibly another 3-4 months before a fix even come out. estimating this as AOM retold around the corner and then they’ll hopefully go back on focus bug fixes/ other aoe2 DLC so yeah 3-4 months sounds realistic
