[Fixed] Solo game not working anymore

Post by TheVeiler »

Hello there,

Since 03/07/26, I cannot start solo games anymore. No matter the time limit nor the challenge I may choose, the game says: "In order to play solo mode, you must both set game speed at infinite and set the number of players at 1". Bypassing and force starting the game would result in the same error message.

Also happens to a friend of mine, either on mobile or on desktop chrome. Tried to clear cache as well, but didn't work.

Thanks in advance!

I am having the same issue. It seems there is a more global issue going on than one just specific to Reflection. One cannot start a true friendly mode non- ELO game over the past couple of days in *any* game. As soon as you try, it toggles to "normal mode with friends only" but ELO is back on the table in normal mode - which is prevented in a solo game - thus, the game cannot start. Try starting a true friendly mode game in any game. See for yourself. Upvote the bugs on this so it can get solved! Unless they upgraded the ELO rules, this is a bug.

ETA: It seems like they fixed the friendly mode issue but it hasn't been resolved for this game.

ETA: 3/9/26 - The bug is now fixed!

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your complaint. This is the normal behaviour for solo games on BGA. In addition, the error message tells you what to do to play in solo mode. I just tried this and can start a solo game without any issue. Have you tried that, too? I have no idea what you mean by "Bypassing and force starting the game".

EDIT: I just saw this was an actual bug, but is now fixed: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=208682
