Why don't the developers hire some outside help, experts in multiplayer networking, to finally fix this game?

Well, that's a new one for me.

Signed on for matchmaking. Was paired for The Train against David. Did my deployment. Waiting on defender's deployment. Waited.

Quit game, restarted, still waiting on defender's deployment. Fair enough. Wandered off to do something else.

Came back 3-6 hours later. Checked game. It's over, scored as my loss.

I don't mind losing the ranking. Frankly I probably needed to or I was going to not get matched. But game being over before playing one turn is a bug. I'll dig out the log for Auroch.

That was disappointing. I was looking forward t the game. For a while it looked like by getting the UI to settle down about one game I could play the other for a bit. No luck. Another log to Jake.

I'm pretty sure the rank scores can be interpreted as abs(score - starting score) is proportional to our patience.

Our game is still going, but still unplayable. Unfortunately, in 8 hours it looks like I'll lose because it thinks it is my turn, but what I see is still showing David's turn (sort of). Additionally, with David reporting
Quote:
I'm now getting "You have no ranked games.." in a dialog. Not looking good.
I think we are in a dead game.

Edit: When I opened the game because Steam was saying I had a turn (leading to the above state), I had to exit the game back to the main menu because I couldn't do anything. When I exited, the main menu screen now shows I have No games waiting. I closed out Steam and reloaded, maybe it's back to David now, but no idea if turns were skipped as a result.

If they open-sourced it could we fix it?

This game is stuck in a loop.
  1. It says I have a turn
  2. I open the game and find it in a state where it's still somewhere on David's turn
  3. I can't do anything, so I exit to the Main Menu
  4. The counter resets and says I have no turns waiting
  5. See #1

On my end the game thinks its my turn... I was able to play. Now it should be yours again.

Yeah, looks like we are back on track. It doesn't appear that we've lost any turns, either. That doesn't change that the game has been very weird handling the turnover, though.

With the 1.5.14.1 update from today, things seem to be running smoother at this end. I was able to see your turn and take mine. Let me know if you see the same.
