Anyone else seen this bug, auto-confirm didn't trigger?

Post by Cos- »

I ran into a strange behavior in a game last week: Although I had the auto-confirm option enabled, when the dice rolled and I had no sectors I could activate, the game still waited for me to click confirm. It happened at least twice in the same game. Anyone else seen something like this happen recently?

Here's my bug report: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=154910

I think the cube you had in sector 8 may have interfered with it, even though it wasn't one that would have been any use to you it seems to be programmed to wait for a confirmation if there are any sectors with cubes that could be activated.

You may be onto something about that cube being the cause of the bug, but it did _not_ give me the option to use the cube. And it shouldn't have - if I have no sectors to activate, then I can't use a 2x cube, since there's nothing to double. It only gave me "confirm" and "reset turn" as options, nothing about choosing to use a cube.

I don't think you get a prompt about that cube (not a card I have used very often so I'm not 100% sure) but I believe technically you could click on it and choose a sector even if it wouldn't gain you a double reward as it is not one you can activate. This is conjecture as I've never felt like road testing it to see if any validation has been coded in😄. If this is true then that would explain why you have been asked to confirm your turn.

Yes this has happened to me a couple of times. It's very rare though. I toggle the radio buttons to off and back on and it doesn't make a difference. Just have to ride out the game and confirm every turn.

Well, I think we have a solid hypothesis about this bug, and also confirmation that at least one other person has encountered the bug. Would you please click on the bug report and vote for it so that the developer(s) will look at it and hopefully fix it?

Happened again at https://boardgamearena.com/1/spacebase?table=635700887

I have a cube on the 2X in slot 8, so that may be what's triggering the bug.
