Hello everyone.
Please forgive my English.
English is not my native language.
I use Google Translate.
I updated to alpha 27: Agni and Vulcan enabled.
I encountered the following problems and I am disappointed:
- it is now impossible to select units with a rectangular selection using a mouse gesture;
- it is now objects, such as huts, do not rotate with the right mouse button when specifying the location of the building;
- it is now the path or/and target for units is not highlighted when hovering over an object;
- it is now it is impossible to specify a target for future units when to start unit production in the center of the civilization.
Are these intentional changes or some kind of bug?

Do you use Arch Linux? If so this is a known bug of them trying to use SDL3 instead of SDL2 through sdl compat.

You might use the workaround described at https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/7569

 

Hi, thanks for your answer, I really appreciate it.
You are absolutely right, I use the Arch, but I do not use Wayland, instead I use Xorg.
Should I install Wayland in the my system?
Thank you!

@technocratOne alternative is to use the AppImage instead: https://github.com/0ad-matters/0ad-appimage/releases/tag/v0.27.0

@technocrat @psypherium tested and the box selection but seems to be fixed in SDL3.2.2

A couple of days ago I got an update to the game and the problems disappeared.
As far as I understand, the developers fixed the problem.
Many thanks to the developers and thanks for the wonderful game.
