First, thanks for fixing all the glitches the last update created. 

However, there is a new minor problem with the interface I've only noticed recently since that was done:  If you click Ready just as a single opponent leaves the table between games (or just after an opponent leaves not noticing him or her having left) one is taken into a new game with no opponent.  The only way to get out is to reload three times and ask to go back to the lobby on the third.

This is annoying, and I suspect a relatively easy fix.

In Game #152811779, Cattitude v. tinioril v. Megas_Droungarios (me), at the end of C's Turn 8, the turn transcript of which follows.  The game froze.  Each player reloaded the page, but the game did not unfreeze.  The "Make Cattitude resign?" panel never appeared, despite well over 4 minutes elapsing.

No idea what the bug was.  In the end, as the trailing player, to free us all from being stuck in the game, I resigned.  Please fix whatever caused the problem, and if you can, expunge the loss and punishment for resigning a 3-player, since it was hardly being rude to my fellow players. 

Turn 8 - Cattitude
C starts their turn.
C gets +$2. (Gondola)
C plays a Horse.
C draws 2 cards.
C gets +1 Action.
C returns a Horse to the Horse pile.
C begins their buy phase.
C plays 3 Coppers, a Silver, and a Gold. (+$8)
C plays a Gondola.
C buys and gains a Province.
C begins their Cleanup phase.

This seems to be an issue only with Lord R replacing a human opponent.  Requested bot games end normally.  Maybe that will help with debugging this.

The panel to select Horn or Lantern did not display.  Happily this was in a bot game, which I was forced to abandon.  This seems to be something else broken by the Rising Sun update.

If Enlightenment is triggered, Lord R play all treasures as actions.  This makes for a very boring game (and may actually be the most extreme example of stupid play by the bot to date).

I'm having the same problem since the latest update.  The only way to get out is to reload the page.

My opponent in the game #141797409 on tokyo last evening (US central time) was unable to play a Bounty Hunter using Captain's ability.  The problem was fixed neither by his logging out and logging in again, nor by undoing the play of the Captain and playing it again anew after having logged out and back in.

Disconnect/reconnect is sometimes not at all the player's fault.  There can be a wonky internet node somewhere between the player's machine and the server.  Since forced resignations (esp. on the three player board) hurt the player's rating/ranking, they shouldn't be based on things beyond the player's control.

Just no.

If your strategy can't be put into action until the piles are getting low, it's a lousy strategy for a game with three or more players. The game has a very different feel with more than two players (and I happen to both enjoy it more and to be better at it with three or more players than with two, just as it is).

I agree.  I had an opponent ban Province repeatedly to my mixed annoyance and delight (And, there were not only no cost-lowering cards like Bridge or Highway in play, there weren't even any in the kingdom). 

And while they're at it, they can get Lord R to actually ban a card that costs 5 (say Duchy to make the programming simple) rather than Estate as I observed in the last game I played with a set that seemed so much fun I finished with the bot after my human opponent resigned.

Add to getting Lord R to play Bank and Fortune last, getting "him" to pick at least some card with cost 5 to ban when War Chest is played, instead of picking Estate -- always picking Duchy would make more sense and surely is a single line of code to change.

In the middle of a game I reloaded the page due to some issues that seemed connection related, then after waiting for it to load again, finally clicked on "Cancel and Resign".  This resulted in a flash of a screen with my username and those of my erstwhile opponents, and "Ready", "Spectate" and "Leave Table" buttons, then the same "Cancel and Resign" screen.  Whenever I log in to dominion.games, regardless of what browser or device I use, I get the "Cancel and Resign" screen and clicking on the button gives the same result.

It seems to be something wrong with my account on the dominion.games server, not a problem with cookies or settings on my end, as the problem is browser and device independent.  Please fix it.  I'm paying for a subscription and cannot play because of it.  Very annoying.   

In Game #99903785, twice after my opponents played a Fool, the graphic from the last resolved of the three Boons remained on my screen the rest of the game.  You could move them aside, but the more recent of them kept moving back to the center of the screen. Very annoying.

It's not browser specific.  I have the same problem on Firefox.

In settings you can change the speed of the animations.  It was defaulted to slow, which felt very laggy compared with the old interface.  It's better if you pick a faster speed.
