:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

If you click a buy or sell button in the market interface, the button will give feedback as if pressed, and you will hear the corresponding sound. But the transaction didn’t actually happen.

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

:point_down: How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST!

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

This happens to me in almost every multiplayer game ever for a long time (not in singleplayer though), and I think to many others as well. But I couldn’t document it before as it requires recording your POV while you play.

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:point_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Buy or sell at the market
  2. quickly close the market interface after that (e.g. by pressing a go-to hotkey for a different building)

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?

the transaction goes through, as you would expect from the button and audio feedback

:arrow_forward: IMAGE

:point_down: ALWAYS attach a PICTURE (.jpg, .png, .gif) or VIDEO (.mp4, YouTube link) that highlights the problem.

Here is a clip of player LB10 clearly clicking the button to buy 100 stone. The button is visibly pressed, and you hear the corresponding sound, but the transaction doesn’t actually happen.

He tries to place the TC five times afterwards, realizes that he doesn’t have the stone and has to go to the market and buy again.

Yes. Before it will be fixed, try to use hotkeys, it should work.

Hello @CeratedCupid745
I guess that you mean this: If you hold the click button when buying or selling and then you use a hotkey to go to another building e.g Town Centre, you can hear the feedback from the market but the transaction wasn’t done. If this is the case, we’re already tracking this issue.
