In ProgressAlly swapping races in 2v2, Dwarf colored Vampire Counts

Kayosiv#7489

Build: v1.0.0

Detailed description:
-I was in the lobby for a 2v2 quickmatch with a friend. My opponents had selected warriors of chaos and vampire counts and my friend had selected dwarfs. I was on Empire until about 3 seconds before the 60 second countdown timer finished to start the match, and decided I wanted to play vampire counts so I swapped to my vampire counts list. This for some reason changed my dwarf ally to a auto-generated vampire counts army. In a panic He loaded his dwarf list again with less than 2 seconds to spare. We thought we were fine because in the pre-game lobby his army changed to dwarfs before the game started. Much to our panic, we saw that when the game loaded, he was stuck with vampire counts and his auto-generated list. Furthermore, his unit banners and color scheme were that of the dwarfs!

Reproduction Steps:
- Que 2v2 quick battle with a friend
- Allies select empire and dwarf
- Enemy team select chaos and vampire counts
- Have 1 player hit start game (not sure which player) to begin 60 second countdown
- Swap from empire to vampire counts pre-saved list at about 5 seconds to spare
- Observe that the dwarf player's army has changed his army to vampire counts, with no action taken from him.
- Have the dwarf player change his army to a pre-saved dwarf list.
- Observe that before the game starts, his army is listed as dwarfs
- Observe that in battle, the vampire counts are blue, have dwarf banners, and his dwarf list is not loaded.

Screenshot: See battle replay. It is apparent immediately.

Details of any solutions that have already been attempted: I've never been able to replicate the issue.

Please attach .replay for Battles or both .save_multiplayers from host and client for Campaign.

Thank for the post and the replay!
I have handed it to the team and they hope to address this in a future update.

I on the other hand quite like the blue vamps. Very dashing.

It just shows how neat it would be to pick your color for multiplayer games.

Also of note, this happened to me again.

I was vampire counts and my ally swapped from something to dwarfs and it switched my army to dwarfs. We had plenty of time before the game started for me to swap back without incident, but there does seem to be some issue where an ally in a 2v2 quick battle swapping changes the ally to that race.
