BOB not staying up to date when comms lost/map refreshed?
Posted: Sat Jun 26, 2010 2:10 pmGame 7147200, round 13.
I have had a lousy internet connection lately, so I have been seeing a lot of the "Wait another 10 seconds?" dialog. Generally, I have found that I have to give up and click [refresh map]. (None of the foregoing is BOB's fault.) However, today, I was trying to deploy half of my men in one place and half in another. After clicking to deploy the first half, and clicking yes on the confirm deploy dialog, I had another comm failure. I choose not to wait another 10 seconds, and got the comm failure message in the action area. As suggested there, I clicked [refresh map]. Eventually, the action area redrew, telling me I still had all my men to deploy, with the dropdowns preset to do just what I had tried to do. The map did not show any additional troops on the territory, so I presumed that nothing had been deployed. I repeated the action, and was presented with the attack phase. A quick check of the log showed I had deployed both halves to the same spot, with the timing suggesting that the first action had been performed pretty much when I first tried it. So, somehow, the first deployment was performed without proper feedback to the map or the action area. Whether the log was correct between the two deployments, I don't know, I didn't happen to look. Is this a BOB bug, or did the site itself screw up?
