Game-breaking bug: Should this game be temporarily disabled?

Post by ikeralto »

I know bug reports belong in the dedicated Bug section (and this issue has already been reported multiple times here: https://boardgamearena.com/bugs?game=2185

However, I'm posting here because this bug makes the game completely unplayable. Specifically, players are unable to use army cards to change dice.

Starting a match only to realize mid-game that key mechanics are broken is a waste of time for everyone involved. Wouldn't it be better for the platform to temporarily take the game offline until a fix is deployed?

What do you think?

Happens to me on every single game - completely unable to use army cards, no matter what I do.

I have played this around 30 times without any bug, just finishing my last game. So it seems to be unclear what is the source of the issue.

Have you tried hard refesh (Ctrl+F5)?

One of the most voted bug reports https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=225434 speaks about error messages "Unexpected error: Error processing database request". But those appear since some weeks in different games and even outside of games (translation headquarter), so this looks more like a general BGA bug to me.

Or is your Pentaquest bug different? I think we need more information about the context of these bugs.
