[Reported] Can't pause on enemy turn

Platform, device version and operating system:
PS5

Screenshot or image:
Not possible

What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
Expect to still be able to pause during enemy turns, to quit battles if there’s a bug or the game is looping.

How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Seems to be since the last update. Saw it being discussed in alliance chat and tested it, to confirm. Not sure exactly when it started.

Steps to make it happen again
Play a battle. Finish your turn. Try to pause.

last night, i set up an ai test using web/no immunities on my team vs lv 2 hind and 3 archdruid blackwood. didnt realize I couldn’t quit out on the AI’s turn.

that took awhile watching a targeting system that didn’t seem super logical.

Yes it’s true, it’s been about 2 weeks since this new bug appeared, I hadn’t reported it as the list is already so long. It’s especially funny when you want to leave a PvP fight with potions, you put the controller down and wait for the AI ​​to finish its 30 turns :grin::grin::grin:

I’m on PS4, and the same thing seems to be applying to me. The “Options” button works perfectly fine for me in every other context, inside Gems of War and outside of it alike, but it won’t pull up the information screen and the option to retreat during combat regardless of whose turn it is.

I’d like to be able to retreat from a hopeless PvP match, especially one in which the AI is playing with itself and I’m helpless to watch it casting the Prismatic Orb over and over again instead of whatever spell would mercifully end the fight.

Or like tomorrow, when I’d want to retreat from an Explore-1 battle at the conclusion of a Gnome-a-Palooza rather than fight my way through the rest of that cycle.

Sometimes if I lose internet connection and get it back, it won’t let me pause or open the battle/chat menu (allowing turning on/off autoplay) or chat itself. Generally, though, I can do everything correctly until the AI starts taking it’s turn and then I can’t pause at all.

Reported to the team and ill add it to the known issues

This is all one in the same issue, related to controllers.

Same for me on PS4 since last update.
