Volcano has issues with placement

Age of Mythology: Retold Report a Bug

  • Game Version: All DLC

  • Build Number: V.100.19.12998.0 (602822R)

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 11

Issue: Volcano has issues with placement. I ran into a game with almost all space occupied by buildings against a Hades and I could not place the volcano at all. Afterwards I tested in the editor and it had no problems hitting buildings. Then I tested in a skirmish and got inconsistent results as shown by the photos below. Overall I couldn’t figure out what was going on, but the more buildings are on the map the more likely it is to be unable to cast. And the issue only seems to appear in skirmish, but does not appear in the editor.

please provide a detailed description of the issue)

Trigger Event: Trying to cast volcano into a large number of buildings

(what was happening at the time of the performance/stability issue)
(this could be an action you or another player took right before the issue started)

Repro Steps: I wish I knew. But your best bet is going into skirmish against an enemy with a lot of buildings and trying to hover where you can and cannot put volcano.

Yes is inconsistent. Takes a lot of time to use it.
