Woot!

SEPT 26 Update​

• Today we uploaded a new frontend.

Previously we were running an Angular UI on a PHP website using iframe. This was a "hack" that kept thing alive but isn't really proper, so it caused some issues.

We now have our Angular UI is running natively on the game pages without the use of iframe. The result should be an uber fast and smooth switching between your game lists, game searches, and the game page. Basically, every URL that is displayed on /beta has improved.

There are still some old PHP pages on the site (scoreboard, clans, settings, and profile pages). They were not prioritized, so they are still in the old php format, and are probably a bit sluggish to load. When we have time and money, we will get to them. But the game pages were our top priority.

Other fixes/improvements deployed today include:

• Added turn clock to game list
• Added game number to game list
• Game Chatter messages now update in real-time
• Fixed blank screen after sending message from inbox
• Fixed "More Filter" page when searching for games
• Disabled annoying popup notification when game-page loads
• A couple other minor fixes

Rollbacks:

• The turn indicator on the dogtag was temporarily removed because it only works with the old PHP pages. We need to create a new connection between the new Angular UI and the database to make this work again. I decided to push this release without the turn indicator because, well, time and money. You'll just have to scroll down to your game list to see which games have a turn. This is also a good exercise for your mouse scrolling fingers. You can thank me later.

As always, please post any issues you discover before.

Thanks and have fun!

Love the new turn clock. And yes, the site does seem faster!

Looking good, Sheriff!

I can't login to play games on ANY browser. Tried Chrome, Firefox, Edge, on every one it tells me "Invalid userid/password combination".

Dead in the water here...

Hmmm.. when i click the link to the site it gors to this. Then I have to go into the forum and then click on games tab to get to my games. Is that how it is supposed to work?

@Tankiteasy , I found that games are accessed through the beta tab. As to a glitch I found that when an email is sent, words appear that it did not send as it it may be a duplicate, but I found that the emails do actually send when I looked in the sent

 

[Daniel7]

@Cardinalsrule , I found that to log in successfully you need to log in like normal and then, even though it says invalid, hit refresh and you are in, and maybe log out on other devices like phone (I did that but not sure if I needed to). I used firefox by the way so hopefully it works for you.

Try crtl+shift+r or PM me your password and let me try.

@Cardinalsrule @Tankiteasy

Yeah, try what Daniel7 suggested. I can't say for sure, but it's probably just something to do with cache or cookies or something. Once you're in, you're in. I encountered some one-time glitches too that never returned again.

 

[Cardinalsrule]

Man, lots of weird display glitches now. What Daniel said worked, but the display is wonky af.

Let me know if any are persistent, and if they are, give me the specifics. Thanks.

EDIT: Glad you're in

Can you explain what you mean? Nothing has changed in a week.

same old, same old, game freezes, hit refresh, rinse and repeat . . . to be fair, the issue is not as universal as it used to before before the changeover ... but, after the change over it was not an issue at all and now it seems to be creeping back again.

what i get for a couple of secs is this helicopter load screen when i go to beta tab or open a game. it is usually fast after that, but this always takes a moment, 2-4secs?, so overall i am not sure speed is faster for me than it was before. not a big deal & sth i will get used to, just mentioning it.

 

[Stormcat]

One small thing I'm noticing is when I leave a game tab open and return to it later, it appears to have been updating (it shows the correct player's turn, actions up to current, etc) and the clock appears to be running, but the clock is not really completely updating and staying accurate. It can say it's so-and-so's turn and they have 13 hours left, but once I refresh the page the clock updates and it might be 7 hours or whatever
