:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Quite often when creating a box to select units on screen the box will stay there after you release your left mouse button. The units within the box will not be selected and you end up having to try making another box. This makes unit selection and micro incredibly frustrating at times as you have to repeatedly attempt to select units. This bug has been around since the Victors and Vanquished DLC was released along with the hotkey issues (which you seem to have dealt with).

:point_down: How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!

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

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:point_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Start an online game.
  2. Play as normal, it will happen multiple times as you play.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

The selection box should disappear and units within the selection box should be selected ready to give orders.

:arrow_forward: IMAGE

:point_down: ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.

:arrow_forward: GAME FILES (SAVE / RECORDING)

:point_down: Attach a SAVE GAME (.aoe2spgame) or GAME RECORDING (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue. Link it below if using an external file service.

*As in most cases with Xbox the “record what happened” doesn’t show the curser when playing mouse and keyboard so a video wouldn’t really help.

Hi @DeathMole
I couldn’t reproduce this issue, do you have any mod installed? If so, could you try disabling them?

Hey I loaded it up to check and forgot to reply. It seems that bug was fixed I just hadn’t got around to testing it. Thanks.
