Successfully Played My First Game in a While

[pale flare]

Just thought I'd share this, in case there was anything useful from the info...

Firstly, no, I'm not an employee. Secondly, no, I don't want to be a moderator. Thirdly, I'm ok with the clown emoji 🙂

With that out of the way...

This evening I saw a post (https://discord.com/channels/462177898695229442/1067180356731674705 <- BIG thank you!) here that mentioned clearing the %appdata% directly for Catan (for Windows users). Having done that, I was able to both use the in-game Chat and also place towns again, which I hadn't been able to do for approximate 3-4 weeks. I have just finished the game, without significant issue.

Details:

I play on my laptop, Windows 10, via the Steam app, I was player 1. Based in UK.
Player 2 didn't state what platform they were using, or where they were from.
Player 3 indicated they were playing via their iPhone and were in Germany.
The game ended just after 10pm UK time.
Game mode was Ore for Wool.

The little swirly progress icon appeared quite a few times (bottom right hand corner of the screen) specifically for player 2 but on occasion also for player 3, but less frequently.

Player 2 had two occasions where their turn-timer rolled back, this was behaviour I had experienced before the migration, and wasn't a big issue, it wasn't a big issue this evening either. Unlikely pre-migration, the turn timer didn't get all the way around, it was more like a short delay/lag, that then quickly resolved itself, I'd estimate about a quarter of the turn-timer max.

Chat functionality worked fine, I exchanged messages with the player 3, player 2 didn't participate but, based upon the player's name, this may have simply been a non-native English speaking player.

Placement of towns/roads all worked fine. I was able to trade and purchase development cards. I could upgrade towns to cities. I was able to play knight cards.

The game ended as you would expect when a player wins, with one exception, which was the prestige ranking.

At the end of the game, the player 2 was awarded 50 experience points. We were all indicated as being "bronze". My elo is currently 1120.

When clicking through the post game interface, I noted that the Player Statistics screen defaulted to me having not placed any cities. When I clicked on to another player, and then back to myself, the details were updated correctly (including successful trades, roads built etc).

Under the Game Statistics however, the game time was missing, displayed all as zeroes.
