Selecting units

[kablam228]

While playing DoW I have encountered a very annoying problem. Basically sometimes when i select a unit then click on a new one it adds it to the group. This becomes very annoying when ordering heretics and trying to turn of FL because when i try to click on a heretic it either dislects it or adds it to the group? The thing is. It only lasts for a short while; normally long enough to mess up my B.O. Any idea's what the hells up

There's another fellow that's posting that he had the same problem with his servitors.

Not sure why it's happening, but if you could get a replay of it, that might help.

I found the same problem last night, it only happened online and my opponent had the same selection problems. Whenever I tried to select a unit, it would be selected but so would the last unit I was using, eg, I selected 4 Land speeders and moved them to attack the enemy, then I selected a servitor to build a LP, when I clicked on the servitor all the Land Speeders were selected as well. The only way to de-select the Land Speeders was to click on each icon one at a time. This happened with every unit that was selected for the duration of the game. Makes it almost unplayable.
I tried Skirmish offline straight after and it worked fine, same map same conditions. Never had this problem before patch 1.3

Did you alt tab out of the game at any time?

[HawkLord]

No I didn't 'alt tab', just struggled on with it untill the game finished

Wait, you say the only way to deselect them was to click on each of their icons in the selected unit list, and it would remove them one at a time? I think the game was thinking your control key was held down (or shift key?) as that's how you deselect units from a bunch of selected units (if the key wasn't stuck down, when you click on one unit, it's the only one selected).

Cheers for the advice Uber, I'll keep an eye on that and if it happens again I'll post the replay.
