Often this is from a mismatch between the versions of the player and the host. We almost never see it from a solo player

Definitely not true. I've gotten this bug three times, and it's never been that.

I don't think that's really true Gandalf. Certainly using mismatched mods or game versions can reliably produce the bug. But the bug does occur in the absence of such explanatory factors.

Yes, I've encountered this bug, and I've never played MP.

It just happens, it may be 0,1% of battles as we notice it only when it happens, not when battle replay is right. But results can be drastically different. Llamabeast has not some data from llamaserver about that bug, so there is a chance it will be fixed.

I cannot begin to tell you how much that sucked. My best troops, some good mages along with cannon fodder, fighting a risky and tiresome battle and emerging victorious, only to vanish afterwards and leave the field to the banners of Ulm. Meh, I guess it happens

In large single player games I see it happen a few times per game, in small single player games, maybe once every 5 games (large = 20 AIs, 10-15 provinces per player, small = 4 AIs, 5-7 provinces per player). I probably only notice it when the battle report is bad enough to make me wonder what went wrong - I don't watch all battles.

I have still never seen this bug (luckily). But I know from the many reports that it does indeed exist.

Yes I have noticed this bug recently too. In Fallacy I had it happen at least 3 times and that is only when I noticed my Thugs/SC's or important mages missing after an apparent victory. It was definitely not an OS or version mismatch in these cases.

Ehm, sorry for bringing this up, but there's something seriously out of track here, because after the interesting demise of my army I renewed the assault on the same province two turns later, again their army is routed, battlefield only belongs to me, yet my attack seems to have failed. My alive troops somehow count as dead, and I see ulm boars in the province that defeated my attack, but there weren't any in the combat. Either I'm doing something terribly wrong, or something's amiss in the game. There's a single battle report on that province, not another. I've watched the battle 3 times(again) every one of them is the same, me defeating ulm(yet again) but the province somehow doesn't want my rulership.

I'd appreciate any help, because it's getting so frustrating for me.
