I am not entirely sure how or why it happened, but several enemy units flickered and were immune to lightning. On one of the logs (I believe the second), I also had a desync issue in which I could pick up and move dead skargs, and in which I could move chunders which did not respond at all.

I have a couple of recordings of the flickering glitch:

Latest instance:

Invisible gold.

I am still in the game even after it has finished:

Had it again. It was on the Golden River map. I have had it on that map whenever I play it. Perhaps map size contributes to it.

Screenshot below: an imp attempts to claim the liquid gold. In reality, there is bridge there, but I cannot see it.

Same thing again, imps trying to claim invisible bridges.

Not even sure what went wrong here, but it is not easy to judge where the enemy imps are as they are blurred by a trail of light.

I can confirm that the desync bug is still at large. It occurred when the host did not reboot after playing a multiplayer game but I did (I think it is host-dependent). I also experienced a menu desync, the map was displayed incorrectly (it showed abyss when it should have shown ashfell). In short, it is the usual one wherein minions seem to just stand still, and are in 'ghost' form. In other words, if you use any spells/lightning, nothing happens.

Here are a few screenshots of the desync in action (the first two involve ghost imps (the imps you see are not actually there, instead I see tiles randomly being dug out).

1 - Ghost imps

2 - Imps are desynced, thus do not change place. So it appears as though they are stuck in the arena, but they are actually somewhere else.

3 - The desync somehow allowed me to have 5/4 skargs in the arena (I just dropped them in as usual).

4 - Enemy imps are also desynced (I have no idea where enemy workers/units are).

Well, my computer has been down for a short while, so I have not played since the last time I reported the glitch. Because it only occurs in multiplayer games, and because I cannot host, it is difficult to test whether it still exists. Over the past few days, I have been checking to see if any multiplayer games were open, but I have not seen any yet.

I shall likely be playing a tournament game over this weekend, which may give me a chance to test it. It tends to occur if at least one of the players is playing a second game in a row, and the problem only tends to occur to me. I shall hopefully have the chance to test it soon, and let you know.

Our current and upcoming builds have multiple Unity version patches, These have likely had a positive effect. Can you recall the last time you ran into this issue?

Just played a game and was desynced again. This time, multiple 'ghost' units, namely units which are not showing correctly on my screen. Also, my dungeon core's health was not shown properly.
