Cannot Prime / Order Units

[Zalethon]

I'm playing the Steam version for Ubuntu.

In game 1116490 against OnyxShadow, two of my units are in exactly the same place, and one of them died at the very beginning of this current turn.

I am unable to order my remaining unit using any click/drag movements, and when I order him to do anything else and hit prime, it tells me that something went wrong and the game has to be reloaded. (Then I'm back to square 1)

Hi Zalethon,

desync errors like the one you encountered unfortunately are still quite frequent in FS; I also ran into them more than once. It is quite astonishing that this bug apparently never got fixed completely by the developers, considering that it exists for several years now already. Anyway, the good part of this is that there are several known ways of dealing with it; see e.g. http://fs.error420.com/wiki/Sync_error for more details.

CU, Gandalf8

Thanks! I'll try some of these solutions next time. I tried quitting and reloading, but nothing else; I ended up just throwing the game with the bug.
