Re: [Rails-devel] Rails 1.4 1835 playtest - hangs early

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

I have seen this bug before: It seems that the tile lay phase does not end 
correctly, if the special tile lay of the OBB comes after the regular tile 
lays. I had not time yet to follow this up, so I do not know if this comes 
from the fact that there are already multiple lays allowed or that OBB itself 
allows two independent lays.

Fortunately there is a quick workaround: Simply lay the OBB tile first, 
followed by the regular ones. This works on your save file too.

Be aware that there are still several bugs ahead of your party. Some of them 
already fixed in development, but some other still need further investigation. 
(Nearly all of them related to PR merger/creation).

And thanks for your excellent and interesting comments from your 18EU play.
I will try to follow up, but time is a rare good at the moment.
