If you’re one of the three people hoping to play Ubisoft’s weird new NFT game this weekend Champion Tactics: Chronicles of Grimoriafirst of all, I’m sorry that you may have ended up playing a series of matches with the same person. The good news is that the issue has now reportedly been resolved in a semi-embarrassing way.
Yes, it looks like the “web3 competitive turn-based RPG” the publisher quietly launched last week had a pretty bad first weekend, with players reporting that they kept playing against the same people every time and then immediately losing to the same people.

The issue was pointed out on Twitter by YouTuber Jauwn, who wrote that they found it basically impossible to play the game normally as they always ended up being matched against a user using schilleri11 or Paulstar111, who was then allegedly involved in every encounter Get instant victory.
Of course, they and many other players on the game’s Discord server were naturally concerned that this might be a bug deliberately discovered by users to ensure they kept winning, and based on their reactions now that they’ve looked into the issue, it appears that the game developers may have originally The same assumption was made.

The issue was noticed over the weekend and now a fix has arrived, but the accompanying announcement is quite interesting. “The issues you encountered in matchmaking have been resolved and you can now play the game normally again,” Biloukat, the game director of Champions Tactics, wrote in a statement on its Discord server.
“We sincerely apologize to schilleri11 and Paulstar111 because the issue was caused by a matching error and they were banned for security reasons,” they continued. “Of course, we have unbanned them and kindly ask for your understanding. Please Remember, this bug may reappear and we are currently working on a long-term fix for it! I will get back to you with more updates soon! ”
So, yeah, based on that, it seems that after initially banning the offending account (or accounts, it’s not quite clear from the wording here), the team is now having to somewhat awkwardly reverse these as a precautionary measure over the weekend Ban because it is a case of it turns out that this is just a bug doing something.
It’s kind of funny, especially as the online community of competitive video games is asked not to troll those who have just been unbanned, but to play fair to game developers – who are probably just doing their best. We were commended – once they were able to investigate what happened, put their hands up and do the right thing.
