Formations not working?

Finally got Myth working again on my computer after what must be 20 years! :mrgreen: Tried Crows Bridge but noticed straight away that Formations seem to just not work? I've checked the game manual and once I have units selected I should just press a number on the keypad to select a formation. But when I do that, it just deselects the units instead...? Am I completely misunderstanding something, or is this a bug? :?

Sounds like you might have set 'Alternate Preset Recall' on, which overrides the original formation keys. First try hitting the formation button, default 'F', and then a number. if that works, then all you need to do to make it act like it used to is turn off the Alternate Preset Recall, located from the main menu: Preferences>Controls and it should be one of the checkboxes at the bottom.

That was exactly it, thank you very much for the help. Time for a serious nostalgia-fest!
