Silliest message from the game…
> It seems that the battle was already finished or the battle was started.
Definitely, the battle was started if you got this message.
In all cases I have seen, the battle was finished if I got this message.
This appears to be the replacement for an unknown error type from concluding a battle. The game must not know what state the game is in when it puts out this message.

I received this error message today while playing in quest mode against Hydra in Wild Plains. Although I won the match, I had to redo it.

I got this bug today twice. Both in PVP. I beat a top tier player and I lost 4k+ gold. Was on Steam.
