What is going on with special candies?

Why are matches sometimes generating the wrong candy?

While it is nearly impossible to SS, I have seen multiple times where a line of four candies generates a wrapped candy and not a striped one. This also can see to generate a colour bomb at times.

Other matches seem to act normally.

Yes @SubstitutePyrolight , it happened to me to face this specific situation and I also have learned how to create a striped or wrapped candy, according to my needs, avoiding the "accidental" creation of the opposite candy!

Your theory of the "good move" is interesting! We had a similar theory when we were playing the Jelly Royal Championship, a player vs player side game! According to this theory, the player who did a "good move" had as a reward advantageous candydropping!

Naw screen recording tools are a support staff thing. Only time we record is meetings and rarely.

As for the Xbox Game Bar, Mircosoft already trying to get far more telemetry data than they should haha.

I will have to try and get a SS when I suspect it might happen.

Ya but that would be a very specific situation where moving a candy will make a wrapped or striped depending on how it is positioned. This happens where that would not happen.

I do have a theory. The game is simply generating a wrapped/bomb from the "good move" and instead of what you expect you get something else, maybe.

While it is nearly impossible to SS,

Can't you just SS the before and after condition @SubstitutePyrolight. That is, SS the four candy in a row before you match them and then SS the result. I appreciate this will generate a lot of SS as I guess you can't know when the match is going to go wrong.

I must admit I would have thought that being a programmer that you would have access to a screen recording app.

In fact as a Windows user why aren't you using the screen recording capabilities of the Snipping Tool, or the Xbox Game Bar.

Sometimes, when there are multiple candies of the same color together, we want e.g. to create a striped candy, matching 4 candies in a row, but we create a wrapped candy, because there was another candy of the same color beside!
