Live Challenges - guesses not registering
Hi, I was playing Live Challenges today when my fellow players noticed that each time they had placed their marker on the map and didn't click "Guess" before the timer ends, they would get zero points. No issues if you click "Guess" before the timer runs out, but many players found this behaviour frustrating because in normal, timed challenges this is not the case, you get your points like usual when the timer runs out.
Would greatly appreciate if this issue was adressed soon.
Greetings,

Thanks for your feedback! I will mention it to the team but can't make any promises - I suggest mentioning to your friends to lock in their guesses meanwhile.
Have a nice weekend 😀

I've been playing Live Challenges with friends for over a year now, and this new behaviour is easily ruining the games we've played yesterday. The workaround we're currently using is to set the maximum time limit instead and to use an external timer for the real time-up, which is less than ideal.
From my understanding, this "don't register the non-locked guess" behaviour is for BR and Distance challenges, which is understandable, but I fail to see how it makes sense to extend it to some other modes (Live Challenge and Quiz are the other ones I've noticed this happening).
For information, the last game we've had that with the old behaviour was on July 27th (though we haven't played between then and yesterday, so the change might have happened later).
I've seen Filip mention in other tickets that something is in the backlog for something similar; is there any way we can track the follow-up on this? I don't want to use the workaround forever, especially if it does get reverted.
Thank you for your understanding.
