Hi there are four (4) points that aren't working properly in the new version HTML5 version 1. Whenever I press Quick Mode battle, it plays quick mode once, let's say, it chose Control Points, and when the battle finishes, it switches from Quick Battle to last played mode, in this case to "Control Points" and continues indefinitely. That wasn't the case in older version. In quick mode it always switches to different kinds of battles and it doesn't stick to last played one. I suppose that this is a mistake that you haven't noticed yet. Please fix it. 2. In older version, there was a permanent display of acquired chrystals. Not anymore. in the new version, we will have either to switch to battles or to garage in order to be able to see how many points we have. That is very disturbing. Why don't you just add up a small display at top or somewhere that displays them permanently or at least, add this option in the options as a customizable option? 3. I use Firefox latest version and in paint mode, the lower part of the screen is truncated (cut). So no lower controls appear. There is a programming mistake and I think, it should be fixed to Firefox. 4. In Garage Paints, the only way to purchase new unpurchased paints is by double clicking the grayed out paint. It's not intuitive. Why don't add a button called "Buy"?

Valid Select 3 maps you don't want to play via MM system
joe_mara replied to joe_mara in Ideas and Suggestions
I'm a computer scientist. With good programming, trust me, everything can be made excellently. They just need an open mind. -
It doesn't help. I am a computer engineer. You have to fix the bugs otherwise and tackle this issue properly so it doesn't require any engagement of the users.

Valid Select 3 maps you don't want to play via MM system
joe_mara replied to joe_mara in Select 3 maps you don't want to play via MM system Ideas and Suggestions
TL;DR version: My computer can't handle certain maps and the program crashes, so there should be an option to not get put into those maps by the MM system in order to avoid having to restart the game when such a map is selected. (Maf's note) I have a relatively brand new computer with a good graphics card. I also downloaded your stand-alone software version. Since you lately changed tanki behavior in a way that the player cannot choose which map to play, but you choose it for him automatically, this created a bug and a problem. I could never play through the software the maps of "Rio" and "Future". So even in the times one I try to choose them, the software gets stuck and I need to kill it often with task-manager of windows and restart it. So I always avoided pressing these maps in order not to prevent the software from getting stuck. I tried so many things in order to solve the problem, it never worked, you have only one version of the software that you haven't improvedd for a while, and it has some major bugs. I contacted you and you suggested that I play throgh the web directly. I tried that also, sometimes it works (depending on the browser) and sometimes it doesn't. In the end, I decided to never play these maps in order to avoid trouble. BUT now after the last change, when the systems chooses the map for me, it chooses sometimes these buggy maps, and when it does, which happens often, I could spend an hour and more trying somehow to restart the game and trying to press different options so that it may choose a different map (by chance) and then let me continue the game. Before the last change, I was able to play 1-2 hours uninterrupted. Now, I would spend 3-5 hours while only being able to play 1-2 hours, because the rest of the time, I try to restart the game and try to avoid the maps that will make it get stuck. It is extremely frustrating and a lot of wasted time. Since you strategically decided to force players to play the maps you choose for them, and you probably will not change this decision, I suggest that you at least give the players the option to make exceptions, so they don't get stuck. I thought of a solution in which the players go to the settings and can for example optionally tick let's say up to 3 maps that they don't want to system to automatically choose from. In my case, I would have ticked "Rio" and "Future" maps. This way, the system chooses automatically from other working maps and I can play continuously without having to restart the game over and over again to avoid these maps. This could be an excellent solution at least until you fix the bugs in these maps which you haven't fixed for a over a year. It would then allow players to play continuously without being very frustrated because of the bugs. And it will still let the system choose the map, but this time, just avoid the problematic and buggy maps. -
Your software on both web and stand-alone versions is quite unreliable. There are 2 maps that I was unable to play over a year, since it crashes and it never enters them: 1. Future 2. Rio I have an excellent PC with an excellent graphic card, but still, it crashes when it enters these maps. Since you changed the system lately, so that we are forced to enter the maps that you choose, I cannot avoid the crashing maps anymore. This just happened now. When you try to force me to enter one of these modes, I could spend an hour or more stuck and it doesn't work anymore. Since you haven't fixed this issue for over a year, and I told you about by then, all you answered is "try the web version" which is similarly unreliable and your answer is simply avoiding to deal or fix the problem. I can't tell whether it is because of lack of programing knowledge or lack of interest of having a reliable software. In both cases, I suggest that you allow people to choose which maps the automation function shouldn't enter and so spare them hours of ugly waiting and repetitive crashes. I suggest that you put that in the "Settings" in check boxes, at least until you succeed to make the software more reliable and less crashing. Doing so, you can save players hours of frustration and wasted time every day. Thank you

What is going on. Even the replies in the Forum are deleted when sending. It disappeared after i wrote you an additional detailed description of the bugs and issues. So I will make it short this time. 1. I can't enter the game for now through the stand-alone software. It chooses automatically the game. I guess, it chose one of the buggy maps that cannot be played through the stand-alone software, like "Future" or "Rio". You never fixed that issue for over a year. Now since you are forcing people to do matchmaking like XTanki, it automatically enters these games and gets stuck and I need to close and restart the game, hoping it will find a playable game. For God's sake, why do you do that. You were better than XTanki. Now you became just like them and took the control of maps from users. 2. During the game, suddenly a shadow of the game appears above the game and it does not disappear until I exist the game, close it and restart it, while losing all the points. These new changes now force us to play hours instead of max one hour a day. If you don't roll it back, I will no longer continue. I suppose many others as well and I already heard others saying so.

The new version is full of bugs and less appealing than the old one. 1. During the game on web, I needed to switch a window for 2 seconds, if returned me to programming like window and kicked me out of the game, closing the game. The second time I did this, all the colors of my team and enemies team disappeared. I didn't know anymore, which tank to shoot, and then I was kicked out of the game again. 2. Wen pressing TAB for to see how my performance is, it sticks and does not go away. It covers the middle of the screen and the only way to get rid of, is to exist the game and start a new one, which is far from comfortable, especially that you have these ugly waiting times. 3. There is no way to press the daily missions during the waiting time. A HUGE disadvantage. You should keep that possible, or add a button at least to the waiting menu, which can be clicked to see them. We are forced to wait long, at least let us check our status during this ugly-waiting time. 4. The method of forcing us to go to battles you match is far more than ugly and the same applies to waiting time. It is taken one by one from XTanki. The reason I and others don't play XTanki is because they force you to choose battles and they force you to wait before each battle, for otherwise, XTanki has a better interface. No you are forcing us to drop Tanke and play XTanki. 5. The downloaded software has a bit better graphics, but it's buggy. I sent you about in the past, the only answer I received was: "Play through the web". I can't play certain games with it, especially "Future" and "Rio". Once I click them, it gets stuck for several minutes and then crashed and requires re-entering the game. Before, I was always avoiding these maps, so that it won't crash. Now I can't, you just force me to enter them, and I get immediately stuck. 6. You should have kept you own style and not try to make a cheap imitation of XTanki. The people were playing your game, because of its unique style and because they were able to keep control of the game and time. These were advantages of you Tanki compared to them. You just dropped your advantage by imitating them. 7. My advice, fix the bugs including the ones in the stand-alone application, which does not allow "Future" and "Rio" to be played. You haven't updated that software or fixed the bugs for over a year, which is very poor. Bring back the possibility for people to choose battles, you can make a better match, but considering the rank, but you shouldn't force them to go into matchmaking like XTanki. If you do that, I and other people will switch back to XTanki with the better graphics.

You haven't fixed the bugs with "Future" and "Rio". They still don't function. And I have a relatively strong modern PC. I also did all the cache cleanup including in internet browser. I also restarted it several times. You have a reliability issue with the software. Not the stand-alone and not the web-version would function. Not a new software installation would help either. So please do not suggest that I should clean up cache or restart PC. I already did all this.

The errors I've pasted were from the web-version.
-
I did exactly that. Deleted the folder completely and reinstalled the latest version of Tanki. It Doesn't work! Please repair your software. It's very buggy. A good software shouldn't have these issues at all.
-
I have done deep cleaning several times, not only the browser, but also the PC. The problem is in the software.

I was unable to access Future and Rio in any mode since 2 weeks more or less. I tried both web and application versions and both crashed. I even reinstalled the application and tried again, it didn't help and it crashed. In the web version I received following errors: Future: Fatal error. Resource id: 50118366, resource version: 1424424741421 [iOErrorEvent type=ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032] Rio: Fatal error. Resource id: 50118369, resource version: 1424781881672 [iOErrorEvent type=ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032] I think you should work fast to repair the begs. Over 2 weeks and still not repaired. It's not good.+

Where is this "the battle lobby button". I can't find it anywhere? Can you make a screen-shot of it?

The servers have all been turned into pro. How are we supposed to finish the daily missions, especially Halloween and CP battles?
