Last few hours I can see autoplay sometimes not starting when pressed, instead it waits for me to make the 1st turn. Is it a new feature from the upcoming patch? ---

It’s a bug. Has been around for some time. Sometimes happens, sometimes doesn’t. ---

Not a bug. If it doesnt “break the game” they dont classify it as a bug. It’s just an inconvenience. ---

Hello 🙂 @DracoL1ch A couple questions for the development team to investigate - Are you playing the game in windowed or fullscreen mode? - Are you playing on mouse and keyboard, or is it with a controller, or a hybrid? - Did you quickly start up autoplay first thing when the battle began or did you wait a bit once the screen loaded? - Please also provide your Invite Code - Please also provide your Platform/ Device. ---

And now I can’t reproduce it as often as yesterday, very weird [](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpHOA49pX8Q) Always windowed & Steam, but I had the same glitch this morning on my Samsung too. So I started an explore, did my work on another screen, then turned back and got this bug again. Means it happened after a while since the battle has loaded. As you can see I can click anything but autoplay, which means im in the buggy state and have to make a turn now. I play hybrid but when autoplay I dont touch controller at all. I only met this bug yesterday while previous months of autoplays I have never got one. ---

Just reviving this thread to report that this issue still occurs. I am playing on Android, Samsung Galaxy S22. It just happened to me on my third explore 12 battle on a run. ---

It happens very rarely for me on Xbox - maybe 1 out of 200 autoplay matches. I usually get the clicks in before the trait loading starts so I always just chalked it up to “working as intended” ---

Can confirm I’ve got this bug multiple times, and it only happened when I changed my default autoplay team onto another for a few sessions. Sadly I didn’t have a chance to record it. Weird thing is, it NEVER happen with my normal autoplay team. Only when Im trying to select others. ---

You may want to suggest they look at a connection to the troop Takshaka. I think there may be a connection there. I only have the issue with the team that uses that troop in it.
