A task has been written up to investigate this behavior. Thank you for the report! ---

Why is this still a problem in 2024? Pure negligence. Maybe it’s on purpose - for it to still be an issue four years later. I can only play my custom scenario as player 1 because no one can be bothered to fix it. This backed by Microsoft, not some indie game with a small team. It’s unacceptable and someone needs to pull a finger out. ---

No reply figures. Big thumbs down. Continue to make the game worse with nonsense bugs that never get fixed. This is appalling. $$$
