Hi! I understand that since the latest Dark War update, your troops often fall into standby mode instead of automatically returning. That can impact gameplay flow, so let's get to the bottom of this together.

To clarify a bit first:
- When you say "standby mode," do you mean the troops stop moving or take no action after a certain point?
- Have you noticed if the auto return setting might have been disabled or changed?
- Did this behavior start immediately after the update?

Meanwhile, here is a common fix to check and adjust the auto return feature in Dark War:
1. Open the game and go to your troops or army management menu.
2. Look for an "auto return" or similar toggle option related to troop behavior after missions or battles.
3. Ensure the auto return is enabled. Sometimes updates reset certain settings.
4. Save your preferences and test sending troops on a mission again to see if they now return automatically.

If that setting is already enabled and you're still seeing troops stuck in standby mode, there might be a deeper issue with the update impacting troop behavior. In that case:
- Try restarting your device to clear any temporary glitches.
- Log out and back into your game account.
- Check if there are any patches or hotfixes released since the update addressing this problem.

If none of those work, please let me know if you've tried these steps or noticed any specific error messages or other unusual behaviors. I can then help with more advanced troubleshooting or escalate the issue to Dark War support for you.

Are you comfortable checking the auto return setting first and letting me know what you find? That'll help me guide you further!
