October 19th 2017 Update Discussion

[Sparton_LOTB]

I don't know if it was in this update or what, but I have gotten a couple errors this week and can confirm that it is no longer freezing and restarting - now it waits a couple seconds (maybe 5-10) and then tries to save your stuff again. Today I won an arena battle, got an Error, waited - got the error 2 more times - and then the 4th try it went through as the victory and gave me the rewards. No restarting, no freezing.

This is great because even though it's mildly annoying to have to wait through an error, it means you don't necessarily have to lose the stuff you earned (which is super annoying).

Kaz/Sparton is this a new fix? Can anyone confirm that this is happening for them too? If you get an error, try to wait it out and see what happens.

Yeah, one of our programmers has been working on improving the error handling in the manner you describe (for errors that we can confirm don't need a clean restart to safely resolve). It's kinda been a thing they've been doing on their own as they get time, though, which is why I didn't have anything in the patch notes (wasn't sure what progress they've made).

It definitely improves the flow for battle resolution, which may now not lose result information when an error occurs.

Yeah I think many might have missed this, and it's huge! Big ups to the devs! Troops, don't manually restart after those APMA/MACLO errors because if you wait it out, it can pick back up.

These are known issues. I do not have a confirmed timeline for when they will be fixed.

Not sure what you mean. Can you clarify what you're seeing?

When I start a game with a lower number of sots (less than 15) the game shows a "server error" (or something like that) I have to restart the game.

There is a known issue where, depending on the screen you suspend the game on, the game will incorrectly double/triple count the Sands of Time you're supposed to generate over time and won't correct itself until the next time you spend Sands of Time. Thus, if it's double counting and you try to spend more Sands of Time than the server thinks you have, it'll show you an error and restart the game to ensure it's synced up that and other data with the server. Is that perhaps what you're seeing?

Yep, this is exactly what I am experiencing. Any idea when this problem will be solved? Anyway Thanks Sparton for the reply.

I don't have a timeline for resolving that issue either, but I'll run the issue by the team and see if there's new information we've uncovered that could help get a fix out sooner.

I'm glad to see that the bug with Magus LoL's perfect ghost overriding permadeath and perfect corruption have been resolved. However, I think the problem may now be backwards. I was mostly on autoplay yesterday, but it seemed to me that on a few occasions, the LoL died without ghosting after having permadeath inflicted but wearing off before he was killed. Anyone else noticed this? I'm not sure about this and never had time to confirm on manual play.

I love the diversity between 5 toons in the arena after the last nerfupdate(with no bug fixes ofc).
In next one release a hentai Eddie to complete the team.
