Posts: 11 | It may have been mentioned before but this has happened a few times to me recently and several times in the past. It happens when there is only one enemy planet left, and you are the only one to own any other planets. If you then double tap one of your planets to select all, it then prevents you from selecting any other planet, or deselecting your selection.
Essentially you're stuck and unless the other player surrenders you have to wait for them to slowly retake all your planets and you end up losing. |

One guy said they were reporting me for teaming because the other guy was being an idiot and not surrendering :c |

Location: Belgium | Yes it happens to me too. Just double tap if you have 65 planets and there is one person flying. Like ziche said. It's not a fun bug because people take advantage of that, what could cause you the game. |

It's definitely not just with one ship. And I do believe it's only on iPad. |

I don't think it happens as easy to pc users (which would explain Phil's problem in recreating the glitch).post updated on Jun 1, 2012 @ 9:21am |

You can reproduce it against a bot too. That's probably the easiest way.post updated on Jun 7, 2012 @ 1:18pm |
