This has afflicted me twice in a couple of days now.
Sometimes the client stops letting me drag players at a set up with the left mouse button. Quitting the game and reloading does not fix this. It remains stuck this way until the end of the game.
That itself isn't a big deal. You can drag with the right mouse button.
However the players I see don't seem to always match the players actual positions on the pitch.
For example, I 'end setup' with all 11 placed. I get a dialog saying that there's only 10 players on the field and my opponent can only see 10, but I definitely have all 11 (nobody left in the reserves). Curiously, despite seeing only 10 on the field, my opponent also sees 0 in the reserves for me.
OK, a load setup seems to fix it. Again this isn't a big deal.
The big deal is that some players are in different positions on the field from where I see them.
In the 1st game this manifested itself when I went to block with a player and it was showing him blocking a player 3 squares away! This was several turns into a play - not after a set up. I'd moved a werewolf T1 of the 2nd half, but the game server hasn't moved him (and in the replay he doesn't move).
In the 2nd game, this manifested itself when my on-screen set up for his 1st half T8 differed from what was on the game server. If you see the replay, you'll see 6 players in the middle - placed according to a setup I'd loaded. Then I had moved them all back out of blitz range, but this had only happened on my screen.
My opponent [unaware of the bug] blitzed a player who was supposed to be deep (T8 setup) and it was a crucial moment of the game (KO, didn't come back, and affected the 2nd half).
I don't know how to recreate this bug or really demonstrate it since the replays don't quite indicate much more than my own confusion. |

In fact, just to speculate, it may be the right-click dragging of players that is the way to reproduce it.
Also under these circumstances, some players can not be moved.
This has only happened twice. |

When I get "invisible players" I try to just reload a saved setup, that way I see all players again. It happens very infrequently, but I assume its the same thing you have experienced. |
