#AI substitute in multiplayer gets stuck in endless trade loop

Why does the AI replacement in multiplayer get an indefinite amount of time for their turn? Every time a trade is rejected or rescinded, the AI timer resets. Sometimes it bypasses in seconds, sometimes minutes, but for the second time recently, the AI is taking 15+ minutes. I'm currently still waiting in a game where the AI has 3 resources, red has 0 resources, purple has 3 resources, and I have 9 points so the AI will not trade with me. Over and over, in what appears to be an endless loop, AI keeps trying to trade away ore for wool. Over...and over...and over...and over... We have all set our trades to off, but the endless trade offer, rejection, timer reset loop continues.

Please, please, please fix this in the next release. This is intolerable and should be a simple programming fix.

Not beeing a programmer myself it seems mysterious why it is impossible to have a timer on the AI replacement. Why this is impossible beats me. Even more mysterious is that the AI never ever behaves this way when I play a singles game

@stuck harness Thx, even so, that is not a problem for the non-AI players, the actual people and not with single player games. If syncing is the problem it clearly breaks when a player for some reason leaves a game

there are a lot of ways a lobby can break

The problem is that the Ai gets mixed up in the row and then they make endless trades with connection lost.m

#

that's some crazy stuff going on and not got patched for years

@heady sky i can reproduce the trading stuck error every time. If you want to know howto do it write me. This is gamebreaking
