Battle display not matching the results in multiplay

That was the old diagnosis of the problem and I think that it was fixed or improved in an earlier patch. I can't find any mention in the progress list, but I do remember a change.

There is now definitely an issue with battle replays even on the same system. I've seen it playing SP, where it's the same instance of dom3 running both the hosting and the replay.
This doesn't make it any easier to track down or any more likely to be fixed.

The game does not visually record battles. It resolves battles using a programmed formula and then tells you the results. And then later on your machine if you say you want to actually watch the battle then the game tries to recreate the battle in a viewable mode. But even though it uses the same code, variations in operating systems and random seeds can change it. Even waiting and asking to view the battle again the next day can alter the results. It might also be aggravated by mods. When there is a disagreement between what the game tells you and the viewable battle then consider the viewable version to be false.
