I was surprised in boardgamearena.com/table?table=471127726 when at the end of my turn, the game suddenly ended. I knew there was a dominance check card in the market which might be triggered by chance at the end of a turn, or deliberately by an opponent, but this was only the third dominance check. There was no dominant coalition. I had 5 cylinders on the board and another player also had 5 cylinders. The game log reads:
A Dominance Check is resolved
RustyTank scores 4 victory point(s)
Mathew5000 scores 4 victory point(s)
There is no dominant coalition. The Dominance Check is unsuccessful.
The end of the game: RustyTank wins!

This seemed like a bug, as the rules specifically give an example of a case like this, with a tie for cylinders after an unsuccessful dominance check: two players tied for first place will both score two points ((3+1)÷2)". We thought that the software forgot to divide by two, and just awarded each of us the four points, for both first and second. We thought that the reason the game had ended is that one player was ahead by 4 VP (which only happened because, we thought, too many points had been awarded). We had to read through the rules two more times before finding the passage where it says that if the fourth Dominance card comes out when the third one is already in the market, then it will be considered as the final dominance check, and the passage on a different page where it says that the points are doubled for the final dominance check.
So this was not a software bug but we would not have been so confused if the game log were more verbose in explaining this. At the very least, the game log should note when the final dominance check is occurring, and it should expressly state that points have been doubled. Additionally, I think the game log should also mention that because of thie Instability, the third Dominance Check is deemed to be the final one. Finally, the game log should set out more explicitly how the points are calculated. Instead of just saying I score 4 victory points, I'd like to see the notation that it is 3 points for first place, doubled, plus 1 point for second place, doubled, divided by the number of tied players, 2
