The worst part of this is I lost my winning streak of 77. Yes I know 77 is not much but it was something else to shoot for. To improve my undefeated record of 130. Now, I lost motivation to go for a win streak when this "Battle is already over " nonsense can happen any time.

@Nimhain I was wondering if these messages seem to be related to the Server Migration? Last I knew the plan was to finish the last set of the migration with the “Guild” update, which now seems to be mid-October. Is that still the expect time frame, or did the final switch over occur and I missed noting it?

I got another one this morning under new conditions:

1. Ranked PvP
2. PC/Steam
3. Got a CTD in the middle of the match, no known reason.
4. First time this happened.

When I re-ran the client and logged in, I immediately saw the “this match appears to have ended” error box, which I thought was actually legitimate under the circumstances. Alas, it was still counted as a loss.

I realized one thing. Every time I see this message there is new update of my defense results.  
It almost seems to me that message is caused by fact that I was attacked while invading.  
Anyone have the same experience?

We haven’t started the second part of server migration yet. We want part 2 of server migration to will be as smooth a transition as possible. We are currently doing testing internally on it. We will make an official announcement when second part of server migration occurs.

Another glorious victory was turned into a loss when the dreaded error box appeared right on top of the Victory screen. PC/Steam.

Had it happen last night twice and now today.

All three times not doing PVP but exploring Kingdoms.

You know the error message so I don’t think including another picture is going to help. But boy this is weird.  
I hadn’t seen this in months, then to have it happen three times in the last 24 hours + the Weekly PVP has ended message as well = something’s triggering the wrong messages with the servers.

Also this is even weirder - The next game (again Kingdom explore) is the same set of troops (I noticed this last night and shrugged it off - teach me to be a normal consumer instead of my QA engineering hat). I don’t know if that helps. And yes it is the identical team since I hadn’t seen one of the troops before fully traited I walked through them all.

This error just happened to me now. I was in PVP ranked battle and literally just won it - victory screen appeared when the error appeared. I am playing through Steam. I was in other PVP ranked battles leading up to this error. Thanks.

I’ve found a way to force this error while i was testing out my defence team. The steps I took:

Have a defence team set  
Edit that team through the troops menu (not PvP menu) e.g. by swapping one troop for another  
Immediately exit and click your profile pic, then choose the fight button  
Note that your defence team is your old one  
Proceed to battle then win, lose or retreat.  
Voilà!

So my guess is that the cause of some of these error messages in PvP is someone editing their defence team during your battle - when the battle ends it effectively reports that you beat a team that doesn’t exist so the server throws it back at you.
