Quick Match Bugs

from Offworld Forums

A couple things, people had pointed out a couple of those ( not on forums yet I believe though)

1. Sometimes when it's matching you up against a certain player you end up in a game with a completely different player, I don't know if it changes your opponent or just that the name isn't displayed properly while you're "preparing to launch" 

2. People seem to crash out of quick match rather frequently (maybe I just had an unlucky streak of opponents with bad connection?)

3. Statistics are not displayed properly, my current stats are 12 wins 6 losses even though I'm fairly certain I have not lost a game yet (I don't think I've crashed/dced either)

All of the above are minor insignificant things compared to point 4 though.

4. I've no idea how to best describe this... Basically, I got into a game, my opponent never founded and quit. But at a certain point I started doing things I wasn't really doing, randomly bought up electronics (I was robo), then sold out of my iron/alu stockpile, scrapped my alu mine (twice); once I upgraded, as I was looking for for the highest silicon something or someone threw down my claims in a triangle in the middle of nowhere (no resources). It's as if I was controlled by the AI (I could still take all my normal actions but someone else could too) or even the other player? He never responded in chat and quit on the second night with AI founding and giving me the win. I am beyond confused, I have the replay, I forget where they are stored though, looking for it currently.

 

EDIT: It may have been the Martians?

Yeah, this bug with the AI making choices always crops up in other games like Endless Legend and civ, so I believe you :P

 

and as for point 3 if someone else crashes out you get given the loss I believe.

Well, I don't really think I have won 12 games in that case, unless crashes count as both a loss and a win. As for AI - I really want to find the replay file cause those didn't even look like AI choices they were rather senseless

We're aware of several quickmatch bugs. We know that the records aren't being recorded correctly. Please continue to provide feedback describing what is going on.

We may have a hotfix for these issues before the next big patch, or it may roll to the next patch.

Sorry that things aren't 100%. We knew that there would be some issues with matchmaking initially and that we hadn't seen all the problem cases, but you never really know until you go live.

Thank you for playing and providing feedback. We are working hard to make you a great game.

Thanks for the response! I don't think anyone here expects every aspect of the game to function 100% properly yet, especially in the newest feature that no one in the community really cared to test much before Beta 4 went live for everyone, so it's all fine; the main reason I started this post is because of that last bug. It was very-very awkward and it's something I haven't encountered in normal MP games.
