- Playing Battle Royale Countries on Macbook MacOS, Chrome Version 141.0.7390.123 (Official Build) (arm64)
- Advance through until it's 1v1 in round 7
- I recognize the country
- Quickly click on (in this case) Bulgaria
- Click on the "Guess" button to lodge my guess (approx. ~1:19 on countdown)
- "Guess" button becomes muted indicating click event was registered
- The clock runs down past the 1:15 early lock-in threshold and continues until 1:11 or 1:10 without notification of results
- I receive a failure/game-over screen notifying me the correct answer was (as I had correctly guessed) Bulgaria
Obviously there was some sort of hiccup / glitch after I guessed before the lock-in threshold. However, a 9-second network glitch would be pretty unusual on my end, as I have a gigabit fiber connection. This is not the first time I've experienced apparent glitches specifically in Battle Royale. It seems like it could be related to previously noted misbehaviors:
I assume the timestamp of the click/submit event is recorded locally, and sent as part of the payload to the server. So if I click "Guess" at 1:19 and the network abruptly hiccups but eventually the payload arrives, you should be able to sort out how to score that correctly? I get that battle royale is maybe the redheaded stepchild, but the game mode definitely feels more fragile than duels. Is it that there's just so much data/timing juggling on the backend?

I don’t know how to reply to my original post for the issue in Battle Royale on the iOS app since my post got merged, but I’ve observed something: the problem seems to happen when I get the county right and the option to "spectate" appears on my screen and shortly after the other players guess right completing the round but I still tap on "spectate" since it happens so fast I didn’t think the round would be over yet. Tapping on spectate once the round is over seems to keep me in spectating mode and won’t let me guess in the next round.

Hey have passed it on to the team to review.
One thing that might be worth looking at is if you are having "Clock drift" this can cause issues with guesses not registering correctly. How to check this can be found on this article https://geoguessr.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018253177-Troubleshooting-for-common-issues

Battle Royale didn’t let me guess in the next round even though I guessed the correct country and wasn’t beyond the maximum amount of players that pass. Happened multiple times.
