Click-Drag Formations Don't Work? v1.2 Bug?

**OMGLAZERS** · 07-15-2007, 17:43

After a long sabbatical from games and MTW2, I reinstalled and downloaded the patch.

After some minor looking over, I decide to start a battle..

... and immediately notice that when I right-click and drag out formations for troops, it doesnt work!

I can move troops using the right click and double right click.. but click and drag (so that the shadows appear on the ground, etc) will NOT work

They don't register it at all

For all the bugs they fixed, this BREAKS the game. I can't play battles without doing my rightclick drag formations!

The markers show up alright, but the troops just dont respond and do not move

Is this a known bug, is there a fix; what the HECK HAPPENED TO MY TOTAL WAR SERIES!?

It should function.

Works for me.... (I am using the v1.2 patch)

Could the patch or install have been screwed up?

This just seems like a silly thing to break.

I have no logical foolproof explanation, really. Why don't you deinstall, reinstall and repatch to see if it works. Also be certain to apply the right patch since I think there are different versions of it (US, EU, etc.).

take note that sometimes, when trying to do that in close in areas (like in a city) it will do what you've described nearly all the time unless you have excessive clearance for your troops
