When playing in multiplayer rally flag can't be dismissed by clicking on small red flag above minimap, the red flag is simply not there. Its kind of big annoynace because minions are usually all over your flag so I have to move flag somewhere else first and then right click to dismiss it.


I'm pretty sure its only related to clients and not host but I'm going to verify it later today.

Game Version:
Steam Public
Platform:
Windows

That is quite a long log of many multiplayer games in a row.
I guess the issue was in the last game?
It contains quite some unusual errors which I not have seen before, but the debug commands can easily break single player games, but in a multiplayer game it is surely way more easy to break things.
So I can not tell if it was caused by using them but it is rather likely, all I can say for sure this log looks terrible :D

Bohser suggested that I should report on here a similar problem I had last game. Instead of the rally flags not being dismissable, no titan rally flag appeared (I summoned the colossus but there was no option to place a rally flag). Bohser suggests that this may be because he used console commands.

Hrm we did address quite many MP issues recently, so I hope it will be fixed either.
Also it seems we might be able to reduce lag issues quite a lot with major Patch 1.5 but this will still take some time.
Before that we will release a minor Patch with many issues fixed.
So I will put this one to complete, but please let us know if you encounter it again after next Patch is out.

I believe it is happening alongside desynchronization issue: http://brightrockgames.userecho.com/topics/1410-second-playthrough-of-the-same-map-during-mp-without-reboot-causes-numerous-problemserrors/ and http://brightrockgames.userecho.com/topics/1432-multiplayer-1v1-client-side-messed-up/


I'm 100% sure it was happening in my matches that were desynchronized, I just didnt think these issues were connected. That explains why I wasnt able to reproduce it, because I started restarting game client every multiplayer match and red flag seems to work fine since that time.

The thing is that we can not reproduce this one.
Did you found any way to get this issue again?
Otherwise we might need to decline this report because it is not replicatable.

Hey Cron,
It does (or should) not matter if your friend has HoG and we intend that owning a DLCs can only make visual differences but never mechanical differences in multiplayer games.
> I didnt even play multiplayer before heart of gold release so it couldnt be any version before 1.4.
The cancel flag icons were temporarily broken in 1.4.0 and this was fixed I think in any 1.4.1fx version, if I remember correctly.

If you really encounter an annoying bug, then you can not "waste" our time better than reporting it, so we can get a rid of it and no one needs to suffer it again.
Thank you for any clear steps to reproduce issues, because when we can reproduce an issue, then we got already more than the half way of fixing it.
Most of the time we get lost in trying to reproduce issues, but most of the time there is a clear way to reproduce.
But I know it's sometimes not easy to find.

Anyway, thanks for helping to improve the game :)

We only had time only for 1 game today and to be honest I tried to reproduce it and couldnt, the thing is - I didnt even play multiplayer before heart of gold release so it couldnt be any version before 1.4.


The only thing that changed since we last played was that my friend purchased and updated to heart of gold aswell (he was hosting without HoG before), not sure if that changes anything though.


Not sure what to tell you guys, because I dont want to waste your time If I am somehow wrong about this. I will get back to you when we play more and get some proof

Yea this one is the only big remaining riddle from all your reports,
because it should be clearly fixed in public version
and none of us can reproduce a problem with this feature right now.

I asked friend of mine to play today after work and will do my best to reproduce these bugs and post whatever is needed
