Problem with idle villager search key
My idle villager search key doesn't work. It's in the default by the "dot", but I've also changed it to another key, and it doesn't work either.

theres a button above your current population count that you can just click with mouse1

Yes, but after click....nothing happens ....

I just reinstalled the game.....but..... not solved :( ....

When I click, make a "solid" sound.. I don't know how to explain, but it looks like hitting a wooden table.

I just found out that this hotkey is working in the 1v1 game, it just isn't working in the campaign. Was it supposed to be like that? I've tested the other difficulties in the campaigns, but the hotkey still doesn't work.

Yes for some odd reason it works for some of the campaign missions and for some it does not.

There is also a setting somewhere that changes whether your camera merely selects the thing, or if it centers on it when doing stuff like this. It used to bother me a lot, because I wanted it to center on imperial officials and stuff when using hotkeys to cycle through/find them, but not on barracks and town centers.

Anyway, maybe that?

I have the same problem. The keyboard shortcut does not work. You only hear a muffled sound when you press it, but nothing happens.

Same problem here. Plus, none of the shortcuts work. (Everything works fine in Skirmish, for some reason.)

Same issue... did you find a solution

I had the same problem since I got the game a few weeks.

Idle villager button works in multiplayer games. But not in campaign.

None of my hotkeys that I setup for the game work in multiplayer. But nothing in campaign which still has default. I cannot play the campaign with my hotkeys.

In the command panel, it shows all my units grouped by type. I have not found a way to ungroup them so I can see and control individual units. AOE 4 is far better than AOE2 when it comes to unit control. But this is an exception that I cannot figure out.

When I set a camera location, if I have something selected it will remove it from control group. Setting up camera location should ignore everything else, and just let you set camera location.

When I jump to my control group. It does not go to the bulk of the army. It will jump to the last unit rallying in.

It works on only some campaign missions. Lots of issues with this game.

The issue still persists. Please fix.

Same issue. Cycle-idle-(units) makes a dull sound but does not work in the campaign.

I suspected this was a campaign problem too. just been working through the first one myself and its annoying as hell that it doesnt work. glad to hear it might be fine when i get to match play.
