Bug Report – Frozen Auctions

  • Version: Patrician III (Steam)

    Generic description:

    If in a city there is a siege and a workshop is destroyed at the same time it is being auctioned, the auction system enters a faulty state.

    Specific description:

    The event occurred in the city of Hamburg, during the auction of a pottery. When it was destroyed during the enemy attack, the auction queue in Hamburg froze.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Put a workshop on auction.

    2. Allow the city to be attacked so that the same workshop is destroyed at that time.

    3. Check the auction window in the guild and the global auction list.

    Actual result:

    • The auction window in Hamburg remains frozen showing only the next item.

    • The global auction list is also frozen in all guilds.

    • In other cities, auctions continue to work normally.

    Expected result:

    • The auction should be cancelled or closed automatically if the workshop is destroyed.

    • Other auctions should continue without affecting the global list.

    Additional notes:

    The bug seems directly related to the timing overlap between the building’s destruction and its auction process.
