Homeworld revolts towards beginning of game. 100% allegience. Twice in one night. bug?

from Sins Forums
Twice in one night I had my homeworld 'revolt' (i dont know what to call it) about beginning-mid game.  There was NO culture on the board yet, 100% allegience, etc etc.  I was playing as advent and I would just hear "The unity has gone silent on one of our planets."  Turned out to be my home freakin planet.

Twice. In. One. Night.  Is this a bug?  has this happened to anyone else?  Is there any explanation how my homeworld can randomly 'revolt'?

That is definately a bug and one I remember from one of the late betas or maybe 1.00 or 1.01. Are you using 1.03? If you are using 1.03 can you send us a replay of it happening? [email protected]

I am using 1.03, but it happened during online matches. Are there replays of online matches, and if so how do I access them?

Thanks!

Ok I figured out how to watch the replays

(by the way are more robust playback options planned? You know, the typical Rewind, Pause... and maybe even a scrub bar, even at 8X time it still takes a while to get towards the end of a game?)


yeah so looking at the replays it said my homeworlds were scuttled both times, but i do not understand how this happened, as I was focused on a different segment of the map? The hotkey is alt-h and i'm pretty sure I didn't hit that key combination. Maybe I selected my homeworld and accidentally clicked the scuttle button, but that would seem rather hard to do given how small the scuttle button is.

I guess I'll chalk this one up to player (me) stupidity for now, even though I really don't think I hit the scuttle button. Just be more aware and if it happens again (and I know I didn't scuttle) then I'll report/send in the replay.

Watching the replays it did make the 'scuttle sound' so that will at least give me heads up next time... Sorry for the (maybe) false alarm
