n/a

Feb 6th 2024 10:27 • Thalack • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

What phone / version of Safari are you using? Can you take a screenshot? I have no issues running it on my iPhone.

Feb 7th 2024 00:35 • selwyth • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

I have the same issue. This is the only BGA game that does this for me. It gets stuck on the Opening the Box screen.

The first load of the day will work for me, but any subsequent loads get stuck. I wonder if there’s some caching issue.

Feb 7th 2024 20:28 • fcboyd • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

Same issue for me, all other games work fine. It usually will get stuck on loading the box, but even when it does load it freezes if I try and do anything.

Tried Safari and I have the same issue

Feb 9th 2024 23:44 • Daravon • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

I’ve found I’ve been able to load the game, but sometimes it gets stuck. However, I can’t select cards in order to play them. If I scroll around the screen, then the card images often disappear and do not load back in.

I’m on an iPhone 13, using Safari.

> I’ve found I’ve been able to load the game, but sometimes it gets stuck. However, I can’t select cards in order to play them. If I scroll around the screen, then the card images often disappear and do not load back in.

I've experienced the same on the off-chance the game actually loads.

Feb 13th 2024 19:38 • sheafify • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

I’ve experienced the same inability to load almost every time. It actually prevents anything on BGA (including main page) from loading after that point in that tab using back/forward/refresh. This is iOS 17.3.1 on iPhone SE 3rd gen using Safari.

When the game did load once, not all the cards in the market loaded (the spots just appeared blank). The cards that were there were very low resolution and remained low resolution even upon zooming in. During zooming, some of the loaded market cards disappeared and then the whole tab went blank, just like when it fails to load initially.

Feb 14th 2024 11:52 • Thalack • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

Unfortunately I am not able to reproduce this, also not with iPhone simulators for mentioned devices. If anyone is able to do the following in Google Chrome and open a game that might help finding out what is happening. I am mostly wondering if any errors are shown in the log.

"In Chrome or Edge on iPhone, open a new tab and go to about:inspect . Click Start Logging. Keep this tab open and open a new one. In the new tab, go to the site that you need to test and run the user scenario that will trigger a the console logs you need to see."

Feb 16th 2024 22:14 • sheafify • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

On Chrome on iOS, the page loaded partially with some cards loading several seconds late. The player boards never loaded all the way, with one player area never showing and it seemed like the page background ended shortly after that with the remainder of the page being gray (no BGA footer or anything). As I scrolled around, the game and chat log buttons got stuck in the middle and stopped following the scrolling and didn’t respond to taps at that point either. Switching between apps a few times, the page went completely blank after I came back to Chrome. Reloading did nothing except bring up the blank page again from this point.

This is the log from chrome://inspect for the tab, same as when the page was blank or after reloading the blank page:

Feb 21st 2024 22:31 • Thalack • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

Could someone check if it's still crashing on their iPhone? I am hoping to have it fixed with the release I just deployed.

Feb 23rd 2024 05:03 • sheafify • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

Just tried and it still only partly loaded for me: some market cards didn’t load, the cards that did were very low resolution, the player areas didn’t load, and the remainder of the page (footers, etc) didn’t load just below player areas

Feb 23rd 2024 10:50 • Thalack • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

Hmm, that sounds like not all the image files are loaded and might be a different issue from the tab freezing. There are for four files for all the cards for example, which would explain you see some, but not all.

Feb 23rd 2024 22:32 • Daravon • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

The recent update seems to have helped a bit, but I'm still having significant issues with the load screen hanging at the "Opening the Game Box" step and with images suddenly dropping off or being obscured after I move the screen around a little. You can see these issues at this link:

imgur.com/a/Qpx3Znj

It shows the part where the "Opening the Game Box" step usually hangs and a visual error that cropped up the one time I did manage to load in (it looked like the images at the "top" of the screen all dropped away and were replaced with a large white space).

Feb 25th 2024 20:40 • selwyth • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

No improvement since the update. Here’s my log, it crashed at Opening the Box…

I closed all my tabs and successfully loaded the game, but then it froze almost immediately. Identical log.

I restarted my phone and so far I’m 2 for 2!!

Feb 25th 2024 21:26 • selwyth • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

Alright nice and responsive on my phone now.

Feb 26th 2024 10:38 • Thalack • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

Ok glad to hear it is working for you now! But also a bit worrying as it sounds like it might be possible old css is being cached.. Would be great if the others here could check if they can solve it in a similar way

Mar 6th 2024 10:42 • selwyth • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

It decays in performance after a day or two until it reaches the same unresponsive/unloadable state. I will 1. open a new tab, 2. close all my tabs, 3. restart Chrome, 4. restart my phone. 1-3 will work sometimes, 4 always works.

Mar 6th 2024 10:54 • Thalack • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

How exactly would you normally use it? Do you have a tab open for BGA consistently for all games? One tab you keep open per game?

Mar 9th 2024 01:12 • EggplantParma • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

I also have the freeze on the "Opening the game box..." part of the loading bar. I'll try to add as many details as I can.

I usually use BGA as a Safari web app, but I get this issue both in Safari and Chrome as well.
I can get the game to partially load the first time I try every so often (get into the table but card art does not load), but subsequent attempts hand at Opening the game box. I can't isolate what causes one or the other, it seems after I leave it for a while it's the partial load and then any subsequent attempts it's the hang.

Error log in Chrome (I've been testing this with Replays, which also cause the issue):

Mar 9th 2024 23:04 • EggplantParma • More information is requested by developers to reproduce this bug:

Additional requested testing with a running table.
First three blocks are an instance of it getting to the table but only partially loaded card art and freezing, the next two blocks are a hang at the loading bar, and the last two blocks are a hang at the loading bar for a different table than the first two examples
