Possible, but didn't sound like it to me.
Either them, or someone else.

There was a discussion about this where I summed up how this worked. Just need to find it... Here it is: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=23868&p=103610&hil ... ed#p103290
Thanks for that link, unfortunately that's not how it works. Like the guy in that thread, I've had plenty of turn based training games and wasn't shown the final situation link.

Also, it feels a bit weird that in a multi player game not everyone is allowed to see the final situation, just whoever gets there first?

Well that's at least how I think it works, whatever it's worth :D

Huh? Not what I said. Everyone can see the final situation. Table archival is triggered only if someone goes to see the replay (the full one, not the last move one). Then as soon as one person has triggered archival (or after 24 hours when it's triggered automatically), it's gone for everyone.

Okay, so I guess bugs reports then the next time it happens.

Should they be put into the general page bugs report as they don't happen during a game or into the game specific bugs reports as they are connected to a game?

Gotcha, to me it sounded like the last move replay. But it still means that one player can (also accidentally) decide that nobody else can see the last situation

Yes, that's managed by the framework, not by the individual game modules.

The final situation is still accessible by watching the full replay to the end. With "Advanced replay features -> Go to end of the game (fast)" it's reasonably quick. Keeping the game temporarily available until it's archived is just a temporary convenient way to get there.

I also would like to see the final state of my games. Right now, you only can if you are actively on that game when it ends or if you choose to watch the replay.
Yes, you can go to the end of the replay, but as a fairly new player myself. Active for about 3 months. I had no idea that I could do that until I read this discussion. Plus this makes having a look at the End Game State, take 2 extra steps.

It would be simple enough to add a button that allows you to do the exact same thing as you can do when you have the game open and it ends. "View final situation' Or what ever the tab is called.

I have been minorly frustrated by this multiple times. Having an easy, clear button would solve that issue for many people. Especially those newer to the platform.
