View Full Version : permanently sliding bug can prevent online game continuing
See screenshot: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=105895267
My scout got stuck in a situation where he was permanently in a sliding state, stuck between the wall and my soldier. This was in a 4-player ranked game that we all had to abandon since the game could not continue.
I have come across another bug that can prevent an online game from progressing...
I was playing a 3-play custom game in which worm selection was enabled, i.e. you press TAB to choose which worm you use at the start of each turn. The game was set to best out of 3, but the 3rd player (yellow) quit in the first round. When it came to yellow's turn in round 2, his worms jumped off the screen as expected, but the game did not then progress to the next player's turn. A big yellow down-arrow hung around on the screen - the arrow that points to the worm who's turn it is.
This was the first time i'd seen the bug but the host had had the same thing happen to him several times, presumably in games with the same custom settings, i.e. worm selection & more than 1 round - i believe those settings are the cause of the bug.
Worm selection + multiple rounds + player quitting in round one = game halt in round two
EDIT: actually, yellow only quit after his worms had died in round one. If he had worms on the map still in round one, the game may have got stuck in the first round, so multiple rounds may not be necessary to get this bug.

I got a very similar bug to the one described in the first post (with an enemy worm stuck between a physics object and a wall), and it prevented me from continuing the single player mission I was playing.
