Ironman mode still disabling itself...

[Wizzington]

We've unfortunately never been able to reliably reproduce this, but we think the Ironman refactoring in 1.14 will get rid of the problem.

Do you happen to know if playing it on cloud increases the risk? Mine happened on cloud, and I play all games on cloud, always on ironman, that was first time that happened to me aswell.

It mainly seems to happen on cloud, yes. I recommend playing locally for now.

We cannot fix what we cannot reoroduce, and none of the suggested methods for reproducing have worked. Thus why we opted to fix it via reworking the system instead, I just can't promise 100% that the problem cannot happen again since we can't verify a fix without being able to reproduce the problem, but I'm almost entirely certain it will not happen in 1.14.

Uhm. No? And besides my initial point was that it is possible that people might derive a promise from Wiz's statement, that whatever they did will fix this problem. I wasn't saying that this is a "correct understanding of language" - which is an absurd notion anyway, even more so when people with English as a secondary language are reading here. I was just hinting that it is un-cautious marketing, as people could whine. And if you think that stuff like this is irrelevant and people/fanboys/fangirls/etc. will not read poop into everything devs might say, then you probably haven't either read these forums very well or never thought why developers usually are saying nothing at all about their projects *glinting at Ubisoft here*.

How about I just continue to explain things as they are and if people want to misinterpret me that's their problem? No need to fret on my behalf.
