  1. The same thing happens to me. You probably tried clicking it, but neither button would work. What the heck does OK mean anyway??
  2. DID YOU ACTUALLY FIX THIS or just change the error message? I see the "new box" but what the heck is "OK" and "REENTER" - doesn't really matter, because neither one works! http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l640/dfoofnik/REENTER%20BUTTON%20FAILS.jpg

    Patch Update #451

    You may wsh to give them the benefit of the doubt, but this isn;t a mistake, it's an insult : "Look at all the Daily Mission crystals we're giving you! Aren't we the nicest guys? Oh, but wait, you have to do it this way because otherwise it would be too easy... ...and BTW we don't care what the average free player thinks..." The Russians are taking their ideas from the Democrats : "Look at all this stuff we're GIVING YOU..." while they take your money and give a little bit to somebody else... :wacko:

    Patch Update #451

    If the idea was to reduce the number of Pro Battles, it fails. It just makes it excruciatingly difficult to do Daily Missions in the available battles. This is an affront to all the players and deserves all the scorn we can heap on it.

    Patch Update #451

    Easy solutions never seem to occur to the Devs. Knee-jerk is easier. Like these lovely updates that either fail or cause players more problems.

    Patch Update #451

    And, again, the major cause of getting kicked from battles has NOT been fixed. Happened to me twice in one battle using D. Client.... :angry:

    Patch Update #451

    SOME missions were too easy. I'd let you play some of mine to see if they were GIFTS. Another complete over-generalization.

    Patch Update #451

    So they don't want to fix the problems, just penalize the players? I'd tell them to go pound sand. :angry:

    Patch Update #451

    That is a LOT of shorter battles than, say, a 999 flag or unlimited batlle. As I said, it sucks eggs.

    Patch Update #451

    No more Pro Battles for Daily Missions? Well, I think I know why that was (hint hint). But it still sucks eggs. Did you finally do away with getting kicked from battles for no reason? No, it is still happening. Duh. There is another WORSE BUG that would actually lock up the battle, preventing you from even closing your Client window! The only way out of that one was to close Tanki from Task Manager!

    How long can you play Tanki without learning strategy?

    Evidently for some people, it's measured in years: [ Playing CTF, barely keeping ahead of the curve, and fending off enemy attempts.] They had grabbed our flag 5 times, and we clung to a 3-2 lead. Another grabber took our flag far to the rear while trying to escape with it. We had 5 guys around him that had chased him down. And blasted him. But one of our players (the one with the dimmest bulb) runs over and SENDS THE FLAG BACK. :o All of our guys are out of position, another enemy is waiting to grab the flag, and we have to rush to prevent him from tying the score! If I had not taken a shortcut and gotten ahead of the grabber, he probably would have scored. So if this sounds like someone you know, take him aside and explain the concept in the smallest possible words: DON'T SEND THE FLAG BACK until everyone can get back into position! With any luck, you will have the enemy looking all about because the flag isn't on its pedestal, giving your team time to wear them down a bit. It takes 30 seconds to "automatically" return, and there's little danger of a grab because you can quickly return it if need be. *In some cases, as when there is substantial protective mine usage around the pedestal, this is not as important.
  12. Yes, LAST WEEK (March 12), and that's when the time WOULD have changed to 9 PM. I assume the confusion related to some Summer Time issue somewhere. I actually benefited from the later start, because I used my last completed Daily Mission. But if the reset had given me only TWO, I would have obviously been upset.
  13. I have a question. My NEW DAILY MISSIONS did not appear for Sunday evening until 9 PM CDT. Did somebody make another fubar with the date/time programming??
  14. It is ridiculously easy to sum up the use of supplies (drugs) to anyone who has played a battle completely without them, where the dominance of the stronger players (e.g. who spent more) is absolute. If you are going to have only "free supplies", then again only those powerful or fast enough already will dominate! If you are going to SELL SUPPLIES, randomly placing new restrictions or tweaking them is unfair to those who use them (free or bought) because they have predicated their ability to play against others on the existing parameters of supply use. Who here with a brain would actually think that entering a battle without being able to use supplies when the enemies there already have them, is a good idea??? These were more time-wasting experiments that do nothing to help disadvantaged players, who are least experienced in the use of supplies. It is incredible to me that someone could be deluded enough to assume that any of these were good ideas.
  15. Tanki is trying REALLY HARD to run off their loyal players. Any other company that disrespected customers while giving lip service to "better play" would fold like a cheap tent.
  16. I'm afraid we're all headed in that direction : not to play the game MORE, but to play it LESS. :angry: Good job, devs - get ready for your pink slips.

    CLOSED — Cedric's "Virtual Office"

    The latest patch seems to have lost the "back door" to the failed F5 refresh on the Standalone Client. The F5 has not worked for weeks, but if you "exited" the client and went right back in (with a stupid stop at the sign-in), you would return to the battle you were in. Much slower but workable. Now neither one works when you get the apparently-unfixable "An error has occurred." You would think that someone might be motivated enough to find what you keep breaking and make it unbreakable. All the "tweaking" and straight-out "rewriting" turrets and powers (that we have already paid for) only makes the game more complicated and I'd bet that not ONE in a hundred players gives a rat's patootie about that stuff that apparently makes devs orgasmic...

    CLOSED — Cedric's "Virtual Office"

    Yup, Client won't finish loading, probably due to the Valentine's Day tweaking...maybe the change to the Shop is looping, because the battle list never shows up.
  19. The more they overtake the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain. At least THREE glitches came with the update (immobile tanks, mute button on and inop, profiles wrong)- apparently they are STILL trying to fix the Profiles tonight. Change for the sake of change is foolish - we never know when our expenditures and experience are going to be rendered useless by somebody's "fix" or "clever new idea" -- enough with the updates and try to just keep things working right for a few weeks! OK?? (Yes,I know it's easier to do new stuff rather than fix what keeps breaking. But it's worse when you keep breaking it yourselves.)

    Bugs and Glitches Reports [Closed]

    You did change the settings to remove Adaptive FPS? That made the FPS faster, but intermittent, like a badly-spliced jerky 16mm film.
  21. Think they are staying up nights to fix this? If it's like the last screwy update, we will suffer for 2 or 3 weeks before they admit they FUBARed.

    With max range, I've used it effectively on Monte Carlo to shoot across the half gaps - no one is protecting against it!
  23. You are too low in the ranks to face MUed Gizmos and Legends. Against them, Smoky is badly nerfed. I have better success using Shaft and its upgraded "arcade" shot than the current Smoky ( I call it "Pocky" because you hear a BOOM and everybody else hears a racquetball sound!)... :D you will find out in about three ranks unless they power it back up over the backlash...
  24. At least 2 good things: 1) I'm not the only one who finds some servers unplayable, while others are somewhat manageable. My connection printout looks like the ALPS : lots of pointy connections between none at all. 2) I already had THREE MISSIONS done, so I can wait out this particular FUBAR.

    Between adding the CLAN button and their "scheduled maintenance, they royally messed up something. Did a server fall on Cedric? (looks around office)
