[OPEN] Buffs on friends don't always "stick"

[Fexno]

Short description:
When buffing a friend on their island, sometimes the game fails to register the buildings that were buffed. Most of the times it just stops registering buffs starting from a certain building. The buffs are substracted from the stackcount initially but will be back when you refresh the game.

Screenshot:

Possible cause:
Unknown, but having lag does seem to increase occurences.

Prevention:
Buff slowly, wait till the current building is actually glowing before proceeding to the next one

Workaround:
Refresh the game.

Nowadays we often get rollbacks when trying to get all buffs out during such occasions, removing previous applied buff(s) and eventually restoring the buff items.
What I think we really lacks here is something that indicates that a buff has been applied but not yet sent and confirmed by the server. (Compare to when you setup a building, you can very quickly see if that action has been applied.) Perhaps not a big issue when buffing friends but when buffing yourself it's very timeconsuming to go back and check every buffed building to make sure they really got the buff properly applied.
I've suggested to remove the difference of buff appeareance between self-applied and applied by friends, to use the present selfbuffing appearance as a first "applying appearance but yet not confirmed on server". http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/25079-change-of-buff-appearence-attributes
