:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
Ranked 1v1 games on ARABIA are going out of sync as soon as game starts. Has occured twice to me since the new patch was released.

Both instances (recs attached) were 1v1 arabia. Might be an issue with the new arabia map generation. Happened once on a chicken map and once on a deer map, so probably unrelated to the huntables.

Same here, almost every second game is out of sync for me.

Happened to two mates of mine as well, not to me or our three enemies though. Ranked Arabia Team Ladder, 1v1 worked fine (on my end at least).

I got the freezes and a game with all random civs though…the patch is worse than the DLC if you ask me…

Same issue. Is happening once in every 5-10 games.
Queued for the first game of the day, loaded into immediate OOS. Received a 30 minute time out.
Starting to get somewhat frustrating.

Devs, can we maybe temporarily adjust the timeout rule for dodging until this is fixed?
