    So I was in the campaign battle and then was disconnected.
    Then I reconnected back.
    It asked me for login/password, started loading.
    But then all i see is the main screen with the box opened with "Woo-Hoo! Battle reco..." and the maps in the box but no buttons like Campaign/Multiplayer and no combat is loading..?

    Please help me out or flush my combat or smthn?

    Thanx in advance.
    BaZiLLa.

    Should be fixed now. Let us know if not.

    Yep, am all fine now. Thanx.
    Cause, I am one of those gamers who can spend some cash on the game as long as it satisfies (and this one reminds me of some really enjoyable moments of table-top gaming ^_^),
    but being a developer myself - I need to know its maximum (you can never have smthn TOTALLY) bug-fixed ^_^

    Also, just FYI:
    I have noticed two different behaviours of server so far:
    - The truns are made fast by "Gary" but needs reconnecting each 3-4 turns
    - The turns are made slowly (like 2-4 seconds fo each server-client confirmations for any action taken) but works stable for 4-6 hours
    ...

    I should clarify: I fixed your game state. We're still working on fixing the actual bugs that caused it to get messed up.

    The problem you describe sounds counter-intuitive. I would have thought if you were getting fast server response you are less likely to disconnect. That's odd.

    Sorry if its being a bit confusing - just 2 days playing, maybe will be able to report more when have some experience.
    Also, it could be my connection quality and distance (am currently playing from Malaysia).
    However, " ... if getting fast server response you are less likely to disconnect" is being vice versa :)
    I am being disconnected very often IF the speed of receiving responces is high..
    I mean it.

    Dunno, if it doesnt help you in some developing/debugging way - just forget it :)
    However, keep up the good work :)
    Thanks again.

    I was in MP when this happened to me.
    The clock wound down and, I assume, I was going to be paired to Cardotron when it DC'd me.
    I'm now back on the login loading screen (having clicked on the log-in) and it's telling me that I've DC'd (again) and to refresh. I've done this several times now.
    Please help.

    Okay... It's thrown me back into the game ( I was right, it paired me up against Cardotron), but the clock has run down to 8:50 (in C. Temple) and when I tried to use a movement card (Run) the game acted as though I'd played the card, waiting for me to move my character, but I was unable to click to move my toon. The screen itself, was not frozen or crashing, as I was able to post in the lobby chat.

    I hope this helps.

    ArcadianRook, are you still having problems?

    Not as of now, no.

    Yes, I am all fine now, thanx a lot.
    Any recommendations how can I avoid this?

    As I said before, if the moves are done fast (<1 sec) then it takes the game 2-3 turns to hang.
    This happens (for me) 50/50 of situations:
    - when I select move cards and before it says "Select new location for XXX", BEFORE the blue direction panels appear - it hangs.
    - on the Gary turn moves (random)
    Then I need to refresh the page.

    I can also assume that this is not depending on the connecction speed/quality.
    I have quite an old notebook with Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz and should say that with the game running in Chrome browser it is loading both cores 85-95%..
    So MAYBE its not the connection issue that hangs my game?

    Thanx

    The new build should fix a bunch of issues to do with reconnections failing.

    As to why you are getting disconnected so often, I'm really not sure. Do you see the disconnection dialog or does the client just lock up?
     
  15. BaZiLLa

    Just lock up.
    I can still read the descriptions on hover and scroll the battle log etc (which indicates its not the flash object hang itself), but the action that was initiated (or the "Gary is plying") is kinda not being answered from server untill the disconnection dialog appears. Normally, for me, if there is no reaction in 20 secs - i refresh cause after that period its never coming back.

    I guess I am a good lab rat to have things tested on with a FAR remote connection :)

    Will try the new build today and reply on any connection issues I might experience.
    Thanx for patches.

    Heh, it was good yesterday and the new "Rejoin?" modal worked fine.. At least yesterday :)
    Looks like its asking me for "Rejoin?" and hangs on "Yes" now.
    And I am stuck again :)
     
  17. BaZiLLa

    BaZiLLa Kobold

    Aaah, I see the solution!
    Pressing "No" in "Rejoin?" Modal gives me the buttons Campaign/Multiplayer - but the Campaign does nothing.
    Multiplayer moves me to Multiplayer screen and then I can use Campaign button on top left!
    And am back to Campaign.
    Nice :)

    Well, I should report that it really is better now. I am not being DC'd anymore.
    Thanx.
    P.S.: add the Skrill payment option please :)
