This bug occurs in speed builders.
Win10 1.21.82
Steps to reproduce:
- Player A and Player B join the game.
- Player A and Player B survive until the boss round.
- Player A finishes build, Player B doesn’t.
- Player B leaves before the “calculating your result…” dialogue pops up
- Player A loses, even though they are the only player to finish the last build.
This actually relates to another bug, where when someone leaves after the game starts after all the other players have finished building, while they haven’t finished yet, and while the “calculating your result…” dialogue hasn’t appeared yet, the 2nd worst person ends up getting kicked, even though the person who left should be the one and only person to “lose” that round.
What happened.
Player A, Player B, and I join the game.
In the semi finals, Player A finishes the build, I finish the build, and then Player B leaves without finishing their build. I lose the round, and Player A wins without even going into the boss round. This has happened to me, although not as commonly as the, “leave in the boss round” bug abuse. I don’t know how many times that has happened to me, where someone will realize they can’t win, and leave without finishing the build. (Judging by the speed at which they leave, they are well aware of this bug and are abusing it fully. This “if I can’t get the win, neither can you” mentality has destroyed countless of my games, and my win/loss counts are in shambles.
Both of these bugs would be fixed if hive took a note of all the players that were in the game at the START of the round, and deciding the win/loss from there, instead of checking the player list at the end of the round. Thanks.
Edit :
Region : Asia (although most likely not region-specific)
I also don’t know what method they are using to leave the game (are they just disconnecting from the server, or using /q build-speed? or are they doing /hub? no idea)
