I have come across a reproducible desync event with the H patch. After the initial connect we go into the game. The standard newspaper clips are there. As soon as these are selected, the joining party loses the active war plans link to get to the war plans.
While saving for the report, my opponent noticed the war plans link illuminated for a few seconds-then went grey again. As he was not ready for that-he missed the opportunity. So, I save again, the WP button became active again, and my opponent was able to click on it and we moved on in playing the game.
I had the same thing happen with another player last night. It has been a couple of patches since I did a complete reinstall-so will try that too. However, as this is reproducible, it may be a new bug. Both of these opponents can easily connect to my PC-and I top theirs when hosting. Odd thing-when I joined another game this morning-the war plans dying did not happen-only when they joined my game. Confusing.
LOL-I will reinstall.
