Shellshocked
A friend of mine and I just discovered a rather profound and bizarre bug. We were attempting to resume a game we started last night. We had played 235 turns and had no issues loading the game last night as needed. This afternoon however, when we loaded the autosave for turn 235 my friend was missing a city, had more workers than he had built, had different improvements on his land, and had a city that had somehow teleported accross the continent. It literally up and warped from one spot to another.
After some head scratching we attempted to load the same autosave on his computer and found it didn't have a turn 235, so we went with the turn 227. this time *I* had cities out of place, one I had captured and razed was a size three puppet, one I had built on the coast was 22 tiles the other direction. Improvements were all messed up as well.
It seems to me that this could be a synch issue, or perhaps some bug had us kinda sorta playing different versions of the same game at the same time. It is however, a rather profound barrier to satisfying multiplayer games.
In this attachment Grand River is the one that teleported. I am going to ask my friend to post an attachment for the save from his computer. In that save Satsuma is the city of mine that was in the wrong place. Tombouctu or something like that was a city I had razed long before turn 227.
