Conquer Club

it never changes it on me, i always go back to what i'd selected

as suggested this might be a bug at the op's & Victor's end

I have the same problem as roller, TFO, it's not just him. I support this.

What browser do you use?

What browser do you use?

Safari. Basically what happens is when it auto-refreshes, the territory option automatically goes to the first one alphabetically (again).

Quite often, just as you are about to deploy your troops on for example Zulu Land, the auto refresh kicks in, puts the boxes back to default and you deploy your troops on Alpha land instead.

This doesn't happen (to me, using Firefox). When the auto-refresh kicks in, whatever territory you had selected will still be selected. If you haven't yet made a selection, then of course it wouldn't still be...what you hadn't yet selected.

I'm really not quite sure at all what your problem specifically is.

Happens in Firefox, Chrome and Safari...

Do you have any add-ons? Because I don't get this problem with Chrome or Firefox.


BTW, I have informed the Tech team about this.

Please move this one to bugs for admin review. Cheers.

i have same problem with internet exploder

Hey all don't know if this has been addressed or not but i have the same problem as well. It auto refreshes and then bam instead of reinforcing my border i've reinforced the first territory alphabetically, this has cost me or helped to cost me at least 2 games in hte past two days. Please fix this!

Just so you all know, this ONLY happens if you have not selected an option from the drop down box. It happens after you scroll and before you select. It is not a bug. It automatically goes back to your last selection which was the default, alphabetical, because you hadn't made another selection yet.

Er it seems to happen to me even when i have selected an option, in my current game it moved only half of my troops from one region to my first alphabetical region

Make your selections, then sit there until a refresh, you will notice your selections stay intact.

You should move this back to suggestions.We do not need auto refresh.
Lots of people have the problem and we shouldn't be forced into using a browser we are not familiar with.

That's true, but remember that they advise you that you should use Firefox

Hmm, interesting, I'll have a look to see whether there are any alternatives.

If I play by mobile phone then auto-refresh crashes the game and the whole application - by the time I have tried several times to beat auto-refresh I miss the turn.

Therefore, I can happily play casual games by mobile phone.

I cant play speed.

I am sure lack would like the site to be as mobile-phone-compatible as possible and would therefore be happy to incorporate an auto-refresh option button.

There seems to be some room for improvement. And I think this is the right place for the thread.

Now the idea of the code is: store old values, fetch new content, update form, set form values to old values.
This goes wrong when the site is a little slow, and you are able to make changes during the fetching of the content. And it could happen in all browsers.

My idea generally is fetch new content, set new content values to old values, update form. That would be a lot less likely to fail.
But that requires some code changes, I guess the easier way is fetch content, (on success) store old values, update form, set form values to old values. Which would still be an improvement.

I wouldn't try playing speed games on a mobile anyway, I'm not that fast.
But I'm curious, which phone is crashing? (Or to be more broad, which OS/browser? iPhone, android?)

I disagree. The whole point of speed games for me personally is that I can just leave that game up on my screen and it will tell me when it's my turn (while I'm working on the budget or grading homework or whatever). Without the auto-refresh, that whole capability goes away.

Moved to suggs as the OP behavior is not a bug but a user error.

I can not use another browser on my Iphone.The auto refresh interupts the chat window and I find that really annoying.Roll on Conquerclub App.

Auto refresh was a good idea at the start, but I have now several times had a speed game auto refresh, as I was clicking the attack or deploy buttons. So, I thought, there should be a tick box to turn off the auto refresh, as those of us who it bugs ARE paying members, and would VERY MUCH appreciate it.

Revision of concept: Have the auto refresh turned off during your turn. This way, you don't need to refresh during a game when you are waiting for an opponent to finish, it does it for you, however, the refresh doesn't get in your way when setting a game up, as previously stated.

I'm not one it bothers, but I don't mind this suggestion at all...it just makes me wonder...wouldn't that make it an awfully big pain in the butt to play speed games, having to manually refresh all the time?

For me, I would think the occasional annoyance of having to re-click the attack/deploy buttons (I know what you mean, as it is annoying when it happens) would be far less of one than constantly having to refresh the screen.

There are instances where it is very nice, but in sequential speed games, it is really unnecessary, as nothing changes unless you do something.

The only type of speed game I play is sequential, so I don't get what you're trying to say, I guess. I like that once my opponent moves, it pops up and tells me it's my turn. I'd hate to have to continually refresh my screen just to check.

Is it because I typically will only play one speed game at a time? (Because I consider it very rude to play in enough speed games that you are slow in all of them.)

Again, I'm not saying I'm against this idea...I see no reason not to do it, since it would simply be something in your profile that you select/deselect...just trying to understand it.
