As I am currently frustrated to max level (pun intended), I can also write some more bug reports to the party mode: If you use a spell, which has a failure condition, i.e., Gold Sense (it only works with at least one Big V+ gem on the board), the error message (“Cannot cast spell”) is displayed on the other player’s screens in addition to your own screen. Screenshot: trying to activate “Gold Sense” without a Big V+ gem on the board: ![Screenshot_20221107-234231](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/b/b172d0bc7386f2571b966dfda84f2d67ca0deefc.jpeg) Aside from being embarrassing, this has two more side-effects: 1. The other player(s) don’t understand the message popping up on their screen 2. The overlay can prevent other players from matching gems: This happens when the error message in the player’s language is too long to fit next to the board. Screenshot: trying to activate “Gold Sense” again, this time with the language set to German: ![Screenshot_20221107-234809](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/puzzlequest3/original/2X/5/5202b4aa389fe9dfd6a2829bd7ae006108ab99a4.jpeg) As you can see, a player currently matching gems will be unable to use the top-left 4 gems reliably. Suggested fix: Ensure that the message is only displayed for the player using the spell. ---

PS: I know this is a screenshot from a single player battle, I will post a screenshot from multiple party members hopefully tomorrow. ---

As promised, here are the screenshots of a party battle, where the other member receives the error message triggered by my own spell: - Screenshot of my Paladin, triggering the Spell-Error Message using Gold Sense in English: - Screenshot of the party member, who received the Spell-Error Message from Gold Sense in German, effectively blocking 4 Gems:
