Slitherine

On two occassions today when i chose a 500pt Batavian army for a DAG game my opponents reported that when the game started they received armies they had not chosen.
Also the game shows i am now playing a 450pt game.

Happened to me today as well. I selected the slew-kids for a league game but ended up with the Macedonians.

Has this occurred since installing the new patch guys?

Yes, I haven't noticed it before. I know that I did carefully select the slew-kids too.

Yes, it began after new patch.

This is the error I got

Opponent issued a challeng 1.53 for SOA

I was to use Navarre 500ap DAg army made prior to patch

Accepted the battle and tried to launched game, was told my army only had 299 out of 400 ap bought....
didnt like the sound of that and aborted and basically rebuilt the army and saved under a new name, same error when I tried to laucnh the battle....
To be honest , not sure what will happen if I say "ok" to the warning....

I had the same problem as TGM.

I went into the directories and deleted all my old DAG armies.

After that it worked OK..........but Slitherine, your Quality Control procedures on this patch failed. For non-mission critical patches, I'd recommend more extended testing - we can wait, but breaking things that used to work will lose you customers.

These patches are 100% vital unfortunately and had to be out by this week. It is related to FoG launching in Italian - we had to get you synched up with the Italian release, hence the rush and the unfortunate issues. The other problem is the game is so vast its almost impossible to test everything now, but we know patches that introduce issues are far from ideal.

The issue persists today.
I don't think i'll create anymore new online games until its fixed.

"patches that introduce issues are far from ideal"

Er...that's a bit of an understatement really ;o)

At least for some of us, it's currently not possible to start new multiplayer games at all. That's a pretty major problem. I would have thought that keeping your current customer base happy was at least as important as launching an Italian language version of the program?

Hopefully will be sorted out soon...?

Can you elaborate a little? Do you mean all your armies in all the supplements you've installed?

I already posted this in the 1.5.3 post in the general forum. I love the the game, but I have to say: No new supplements (was planning to buy them all, and still will if this gets sorted out) or DAG games for me until this is fixed. Also I won't appreciate it if I have to delete all my existing DAG armies...

"Maybe related: I accepted a DAG challenge against Medieval Welsh. I accepted, but before actually playing I created a HYW English (in Britain) army to field against the Welsh.

Then, when I chose from my saved armies in multiplayer I could select it (it was in yellow, as usual), but in the text screen to the right appeared my army that's at the top of my SOA saved armies list (medieval Burgundians).
I couldn't get the HYW English to show up, even though I tried and it was highlighted in yellow in the list itself.

I could do nothing else but proceed, and what I feared came true: I am now fighting a battle against the Welsh with my Burgundians instead of my English (both are 600 pt armies I think but I don't know if that's relevant).
Furthermore I'm now afraid all challenges I'll accept will automatically pick the the army listed at the top of my saved armies in each 'book'...

I didn't have his problem before patch 1.5.2/3."

This is fixed - download v1.5.4

Well, that's quick!

Thanks for the swift fix!

*Off testing*
