I just was about to win my War for Throne game, and then all of a sudden, the KOTH got dropped. And all of a sudden I ended up losing.

Can anyone explain this bug? Why did the KOTH suddenly get dropped?

For context, this is what the game looked like when I went into it at first:

After refreshing following the end of the game, it snapped back to when Blue should've won had koth not been mysteriously removed:

So yeah, devs are aware now, thanks for the report!

we experienced another problem in this game, a player was able to promote to a queen when the promotion did not include queen

i think that all the problems are related to premoves because when i premoved a promotion i was able to get a queen

Yes, i was able to recreate it, when you premove, it auto promotes to queen, and when you premove to koth, it fails to make you win

No, I was not premoving. I actually took a very long time to make my move.

Has happened to me in several WFT games already. Maybe 10 times over 2-3 years. Nobody knows what is the reason. And yes it's unfair.

Recently? If I'm not mistaken the devs patched it when it came up again a few weeks back and it hadn't had been a huge issue since 2022 (the merge)

No, I was speaking about winter/spring 2023 indeed. So Ok.
