Issue: Settlement victory can be achieved without obtaining all settlements

This has happened 2 times in a row tonight. No mods. You can see I’m playing on a base game map with base game characters only (albeit Blood & Supporter Pack enabled). I also made sure that I was playing on standard victory settings.

This has happened twice in a row tonight.

Trigger Event: Double Town Center Construction

Each time this has occurred, I was constructing two town centers at the same time. The timer would start at the completion of the first town center, and cease at the completion of the second town center. However, if the second town center is not destroyed or completed within the settlement timer time, then settlement victory occurs.

  1. Both times this happened was in a 1v1 Skirmish.
  2. Both times occurred when two town center constructions happen at the same time, with the first one’s completion starting the timer and the second one’s completion ceasing the timer.
  3. In both cases all other settlements unrelated to the two currently being constructed were previously owned. I have tried to replicate this in a scenario where not all town centers were owned by either side and it did not work.

Repro Steps:

After a lot of testing very late in the night I was able to reproduce the situation by setting up the following conditions:

-Ensuring all but 2 town centers are owned prior to starting.

-Claim both remaining town centers at the same, but purposely letting one town center first and not completing the second

-Making sure I was on standard victory conditions

Here was the result:

As you can see, I was successful in replicating the event and not only that, I was able to abuse the bug to achieve victory by purposely not letting the second TC construction finish.

The second match this happened, my game shortly crashed after. I submitted the bugsplat, so you guys may be able to use that data to figure out what’s wrong. I didn’t leave a message or anything but it should be my only recently submitted bugsplat and of course it will be this same matchup on the same map. I submitted it under the name of Awot.

Here is me doing it again on another map with other characters on another map:
