I don’t have every detail, but I wanted to post the bug report so other people can decide whether to gamble their sigils on a broken game, or wait for it to be fixed, maybe.
As you can see from the discord message, between casting the spell and selecting a row to destroy, the game becomes unresponsive.
Confirmed to happen on iOS in Explore mode, at least. Update: Also happened on Steam in Explore. Not every time, but without a discernable pattern as yet.
edit to add: so far in all the screenshots we’ve seen of this crash, the top enemy troop is already dead. There might be a bug in the targeting when this happens… [2nd edit, nope this is not the case. We have examples now with all 4 enemy troops present]
It’s definitely weird. The spell doesn’t seem to have anything special to it, at least as far as the description goes:
Destroy a row. Deal [Magic + 3] damage to the first Enemy, boosted by Green Allies and Green Gems destroyed. [3x]
Maybe it’s an interaction with one of the other troops? I’ve fought a few Adventure Board battles with a Hawthorn team, game didn’t lock up (I might just have gotten lucky).
That is weird. I had no issues with casting Hawthorn but I didn’t use it outside the event though. If you lost battlecrasher, it is probably in PvP/Explore? I’ll try some battles with Hawthorn in there. How frequently do you see this happening? Always or occasional?
1.) The “Cast” button of the spell was pressed.
2.) The board somehow moved.
3.) The game froze prior to allowing a row to get picked as part of the spell resolving.
@beeflog Could you poke the one who encountered this once more to verify?
