Preference initialization in hotseat mode
Posted: 25 June 2020, 22:31
Hi,
A bug was reported on the game I'm managing, Stoneage: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=19774.
The trouble is that in hotseat mode, the second player preferences are not initialized to the default (first choice), here the season is initialized to Summer instead of Automatic.
I reproduced it once on the main platform by starting my first hotseat game ever (hotseat mode is failing to launch in the studio, can not test it in it). But once you have changed the preference for the second player, it is recorded and there isn't any default value in play anymore, so I'm unable to reproduce it again (maybe cleaning cookies might allow to reproduce again).
As far as I know, there is nothing to do to support hotseat mode in the game code, it is entirely handled by bga platform. So I don't think I can do anything about it. Am I right?
