Ummm... what is this? Gonna fix a critical issue for .01% of the population and introduce a new, worse bug for 18% of the population?

And on a Friday no less??

I ain't downloading that...

    I'm on iOS R119 and I just got a notification that an update was pending and I should get it. ****? So I hit update and it took me to the app store where there was no update. I come back to the game, same pop-up. Anyone else getting this?

    Yeah, I got it as well. It had the same patch notes as the most recent update. I just ignored it until I could check on here, given all the recent issues with patches.

    I guess I'm not the only one then:

    Yeah, seems risky. I'm not sure what the iOS issue they're referring to is, but I haven't had any problems, so I'm reluctant to download it. On the other hand, I'm not looking forward to being subjected to constant "you should update" popups all weekend.

    I see patch notes, but does your app store actually show an update button? Mine just has an open button. I did notice my game is displaying R119.0 and not R119.1. However, I'm assuming R119.1 was the patch that fixed the connection issue iOS users had with R119, based on the notes. So must have it since I've had no issues. I wonder if they labelled patch wrong in the code...

    I see it in my Update section of the App Store. I feel it's risky. Hoping someone else will do it first.

    I don't plan to do it unless it forces. My bigger concern is that on Saturday or Sunday it could force it and there would be no help till Monday.

    Got the same thing, and I hit "Skip" ... it's more likely that someone accidentally sent a push notification than that this is anything untrustworthy, but I'm going to avoid it until I have no other option.

    Thanks for the heads up message, broll. I'm coincidentally in a meeting with the development team right now. I'll ask them about this 119.1 patch and update this post once I find out more info.

    Edit: So turns out that since the patch was just released, it might take some time for it to propagate and show up in the store. If you don't see the update button, please refresh the download store. The patch consists of additional bug fixes.

    Thanks Brigby. Patches during Alliance events are a bit scary - especially considering no one is reporting any issues (at least that I've seen).

    I'm on iOS and just installed the update. No issues yet, was able to get in fine, though I already did my last clear in Civil War an hour ago, so I don't know if it introduced and new bugs yet (like the bosses not unlocking or the like).

    Agreed, especially on Friday afternoon during an Alliance event...

    Can we get word on what the additional fixes are? As people have noted I haven't seen any issues or anyone reporting any issues, yet the notes say it's a critical issue. That doesn't seem to line up. My only guess is this patch fixes the issue where a few users got a covers for a non-released character. Either way I'd rather not update until I hear more reports of people updating OK and/or what the critical issues it's suppose to fix are.

    From my understanding, it has mostly to do with back-end data stuff. (Aka technical mumbo jumbo complexities icon_lol.gif ) I was told it won't impact any game functionality though.

    Given the recent track record on updates I will hold off on updating until the very very last moment.

    Never patch on Friday. Especially if nobody can describe what actually changes on a hot-fix out of order update...

    Game updated before I saw this and had a chance to stop it. It took longer than usual, but the game loaded and seems to be operating just fine. iOS by the way.

    I have a question. Why were they able to force through this update so quickly while we had to sit and wait 2 weeks for other updates when things got really broken?

    A dozen characters not working properly- you can wait till the next update in 14 days to fix it.

    But whatever the issue was here, got pushed through within days of the last update.

    That's because the update didn't affect game functionality, as it was more so bug fixes for the back-end data. That's why it didn't require a full build to be submitted.

    We recently posted a thread detailing the development process, and how we go about submitting builds if you're interested in learning more: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=57469

    I updated the app to v119.1 and did my full clear of Rd7 in Team IM. Didn't experience any problems other than Cap somehow managing to clear some or all of IM40's recharge tiles half the time... either that or Cho's CD tile. Can we count that as a bug?

    Edit: on iOS but yet to update to latest v10.2.1
