1. I have attacked a target (wilash)
2. I hit him
3. He hit back
4. a message appeared that he is unconscious
5. the message changed saying the target is in hospital and cannot be attacked
6. I lost 25 energy, gained no experience
7. it appeared as a solo attack

8. I went to the targets profile and it says he got hospitalized by someone else

I was expecting that in such cases it would be a dual attack. Was the above scenario possible or a race condition bug?

I'm sure Pavel can look into it and see what happened.

It actually was a group attack (www.torn.com/loader.php?sid=attackLog&ID=4378702b2e4e52bee6aa2026fda62d63). You can also check it in latest attacks - https://gyazo.com/5a77133166611e6198e54f85c78c8d2d. Another player was able to join and finish the fight in just 1 second.

Well, the UI didn't update to reflect that (see my screenshot). Indeed, in the latest attacks it does appear as a group attack.

Current polling updates are not always able to reflect the log state correctly at this stage of the fight. This is already planned as one of the upgrades.
