### ▶ GAME INFORMATION

- **GAME BUILD #:** 101.101.45340.0 6228353
- **GAME PLATFORM:** Steam
- **OPERATING SYSTEM:** Windows 10

### ▶ ISSUE EXPERIENCED

A resigned player who is still watching a team game play on with full vision, can cause the game to desync for everyone.  
The desync happens when an ally of the player places a Castle Foundation (or any other building) over an unseen enemy building in the fog, and then right clicks the foundation. Desync occurs exactly after right clicking foundation.

### ▶ FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

- **100%** of the time (ALWAYS)

### ▶ REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

1. start game with an ally, vs AIs or humans , best would be 4v4
2. best map for the test is black forest, explored version
3. starting res should be High or higher, and starting age castle age or higher
4. have your ally resign, and have him wait
5. place a Castle foundation over where you think there might be enemy buildings, but which you can’t see
6. right click on Castle foundation
7. game desyncs instantly

### ▶ EXPECTED RESULT

it shouldn’t
