Patch Notes - R109 (09/12/16)

PorkBelly

Same have others have reported on iOS.

Very slow (5sec) black screen when switching between screens.

I keep thinking the game crashed or my phone went to sleep.

Hopefully they can hotfix.

Try opening it from the Apps menu instead of your shortcut.

i think facebook rewards should be taken away unless everyone can get them, computer players can't get game to sync with facebook.

No luck there either...it showed up on my recent apps list, but it was just all white and never actually opened....

This is can be a problem for PvP. After every single match we have to wait like 10-15s for the screen to reload and select the next fight. In a game that it is all about speed this can be a problem (or at least it will very bad for our nerves, while we wait to see if we have been attacked or not looking at a black screen waiting...).

After the R108 double-reward bug, I was hoping testing would improve... (testing is now the Achilles heel of this game, it is what is hurting this game the most lately, a lot of very good improvements but really bad testing before they are launched)

I would very much doubt that testing is the problem with this game, it is vastly more likely that development overruns and then they have fixed release dates with the net result that the time qa should get is squeezed and problems end up going live.

Well it might be this fixed two weeks sprint releases is affecting the quality of the product and reducing the test time, but this case in particular was a very very obvious bug, anybody with an iOs device would have found the problem in just a minute of testing. They did not test the release on iOs, someone did a very bad job doing the testing or they just tested on development devices (there is a big difference between testing release versions or the real app that gets uploaded to the store, and you should always test the latter).

I don't think R109 is working correctly in any iOs device (but maybe I am wrong and it just affects some iOs devices). Anybody in iOs with R109 without the bug?

But anyway, a lot of good things going on in the game that get seriously affected by bad releases

I think it's 24 hours...

TxMoose

great. was hoping I'd get this pvp in before. now I think I'd probably do it before LRs start or it'll screw me outta some seeds.

edit: great. 6-7 seconds to enter an event screen (including sub screen) and 5 seconds or so coming out. extra time loading a match and coming out of a match. blegh.

The lag really sucks. Come on devs, how did such bad code pass the UAT ?!!

I have it loaded on my Fire 7 now and it seems to be working fine. I haven't tried any PVP yet though so I can't speak to that.

I think PC players should play on mobile devices.

I think people should get Facebook accounts even if they don't want to.

It's good to have opinions.

Game wouldn't open AT ALL yesterday, on my Android.

And when it finally opened up this morning, I got a whopping ONE Facebook gift, unlike the the 40 - 60 that I used to wake up to.

This is seriously ridiculous. lol. Comedic, even.

As Hi-Fi said, for those seeing an issue, please direct further information on your device to the linked Bugs and Technical Issues thread.

Is there any way to make sure this update doesn't flip to required until the lag problems are solved? I would rather keep clicking "ignore" when prompted to update instead of have everything lag horribly.
