**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened?** Retreat button to be there. It’s not. **What are the steps to make it happen again?** Trying to retreat while AI is doing its thing. **Do you have any screenshots or video you want to share with us so we can see the problem? Attach them to your post!** ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/4/34a65af45b763f72bd0b82d2296b0a4329b58a3b.jpg) _Look, no retreat button!._ I don’t know if this is intended feature or not, but the retreat button disappears during AI turns. Sometimes the AI goes into Solitaire mode and starts doing its daisy-chains and I just know I can’t win, but the game won’t even let me retreat. I have to choose between watching the AI do its death by thousand cuts manoeuvre, which is sadistic, or exiting the game altogether and relaunching, which ironically is faster. ---

Simply put, unless it’s your turn, the game won’t let you retreat. ---

Sad but true lol. This is often how I finish my GoW day. One too many lucky cascades for the AI on its turn means I just hit ‘Quit’ and try again the next day 🙂 ---

Are you the Tifa that was with us in Intrim for a short while? ---

Yes and I don’t see why it should be. The available settings options are also different during player turn and AI turn, and I don’t see why that should be too. It seems likely they updated the UI for one part and forgot about the other. ---

I can’t believe this bug has been with us for so long. ---

Similar but is it the same? The button completely disappeared in this old bug. The current bug greys out the button.
