The most annoying bug in the game
The most annoying bug in the game is the so-called "syncinfo" bug, where playing a tcp-ip network game, when you try to connect to the server, you just get a "Waiting for info" screen. You have to start the game in windowed mode, and then keep launching more windows until you finally get one that gets past the bug. I hate it, and I wish someone would fix it.

Re: The most annoying bug in the game
I have the bug now in Bastions of Power. Never had it there before. I think it must be client-related. After having it in no games before tonite, I now have it in all my MP games, across different servers.

Re: The most annoying bug in the game
It seems to propagate, like a worm. The first place I encountered it was in one of Zachariah's games. Zach, what do you have running on your server?

Re: The most annoying bug in the game
Well, the easiest workaround is to keep launching new games, in windowed mode, until one of them connects. There is a much more complicated workaround, which I believe VFB came up with.

Re: The most annoying bug in the game
vfb's workaround is essentially the same.  |
