Tutorial bug on placing dice?

Post by RobbEf »

Tried to run through the tutorial, got to the step where I needed to place my first die (a 2 in the tilt box) - Selected the 2, selected the box (it showed a 2 in it), hit confirm... got an error message saying that I didn't do the move that the tutorial required of me. The 2 was no longer in the box, and the UI was no longer responsive.

I've also had issues with the tutorial. When doing the wrong action the UI became unresponsive.
I ended up reading the rules because I was too far in to restart

Please contact the autor of the tutorial.

Mm... softlocks when incorrect actions are taken is a common problem affecting a third of all tutorials on BGA.

There's no way to fix it... but I can work around it by changing the action steps to "continue" steps. This will make the tutorial feel more passive, so it won't be quite as effective at teaching the game, but you won't need to worry about accidentally softlocking it. I think it's a good idea to change this one though, since it's such a long tutorial.

I'm changing it now. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

Was this fixed? I cannot complete the tutorial (tried three times). If I screw up on placing the dice, it doesn't allow you tag the die anymore.

Are BGA aware of that problem? I don't see a bug tracking it at https://boardgamearena.com/bugs? Or is it impossible to fix without manually fixing each game (which probably isn't worth the time tbh)

Most of the tutorial can be clicked through by clicking "continue", so I guess it is sorta fixed. Are you getting soft-locked before the point that it starts asking you to click "continue"

PS: I'm gonna take a wild guess that the issue could be related to the tutorial asking the player to perform 2 steps at once (click the dice and board, then click confirm). Is it possible to change that @Nekonyancer?

Mm... I guess I can add "do X if you didn't do it the first time I told you" sentences here and there

I had the same experience. There was no way to continue or do-over for that step.
