:arrow_forward: GAME INFORMATION

  • GAME BUILD #: 101.101.46295.0 6421374
  • GAME PLATFORM: Steam
  • OPERATING SYSTEM: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

There is no dropdown menu next to Map Style. Map Style is set to Standard, and I cannot change it to something different, like Real World or Special.

This issue happens both in Single Player and when I am hosting a multiplayer lobby. It also happens in every Game Mode I select.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

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

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

  1. Either click Single Player → Skirmish or click Multiplayer → Host Game.
  2. Try to change the map style from Standard to anything else.
  3. Notice that you can’t do that, since there is no dropdown menu.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

There should have been a dropdown menu, allowing me to select a different Map Style.

Note the lack of an upside down triangle in the rectangle with the text ‘Standard’, indicating that there is no dropdown menu:

One year later, I still have this issue. I noticed I am not the only one, as I saw someone else made a bug report in 2020 about the same bug as well:

It’s not a bug, it’s just a bad design flaw. To play them, click on the location, and near the top right of that menu, you should have the dropdown you are looking for.
