What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened?
Steam on Win Vista, in PvP:
I cast Alchemy making some yellow matches, at least one of them with 4 gems. The game stopped for a moment, as if there was a lag or glitch, then without clearing any matched gems switched to the opponent’s turn. He made a move (swapped gems), and only then the board was cleared, including matches made by my Alchemy - granting both mana and extra turn to the opp.
In fact I think that wasn’t the first time. I use transforming spells extensively and there was already a couple of times I was positive the spell guaranteed a 4+ match, but I didn’t get the extra turn. It was the first time I’m absolutely sure it wasn’t my mistake as I saw those 4 yellow gems in a row for a couple of seconds and the opponent obviously moved while they were on the board.
What are the steps to make it happen again?
I don’t really know. My only clue is that it may be somehow connected to the memory leak or the lags that occur when it happens. When I play GoW for some time (1-2 hours without closing the application) it starts using huge amount of memory (like 1.5GB compared to 100-200 MB normally) and at the same time starts lagging (randomly stops responding for a couple of seconds). This glitch before switching turns looked like one of those lags.
Do you have any screenshots or video you want to share with us so we can see the problem? Attach them to your post!
Sorry, but no. It took me by surprise 
), but still no video - sorry. The really ridiculous thing last two times was that after I cast Valkyrie’s spell the AI swapped two blue gems (both of them blue) to get that 4-match and extra turn…
