Switched sides in multiplayer?

Post by wight »

I was playing the Axis in a multiplayer match with Monkeyking on the Arnhem map and saved my unfinished move to the server. When I came back to the game, and loaded my turn, my turn indicator had been swaped to the British. My unit markers were still German, although I could not move them. I ended my turn and Monkeyking had the same issue. Next turn I saw that I got reinforcements but then couldn't move them. I conceded the match to end it.

What happened?

Hmmm - sorry for the misbehaviour. I will look into the turn and see what happened here so we can fix the glitch, be it on the server or in the game client.

Can you tell me what platform you were playing on at the time?

Cheers

Right - at the time I thought it was related to a transient server issue we were having, but that's not the case now. I'm not really sure what could cause it.

In the next game I opened - "Buying Time" vs firstv9 - I couldn't select any of my units using my mouse. I had to cycle through using the buttons that open up.
I didn't try to move any units in the switched-sides game reported above.

Hi guys. When you had these occurances happen, had anything odd happened just prior, in the same session. Things like timeouts when uploading or downloading a prior game?

Cheers

I didn't see anything unusual.
