I'm not sure how that can be best achived.

Well I have an idea. Why don't you revert the software to a working version so you don't put your paying customers through this, then you'll have a lot more time.

I've reported this issue in multiple places and there hasn't been any response in any of them. It's a shame because I've been trying different things to deal with the fact that using the client makes me nauseous and one of the biggest things that has helped has been to make the Dominion window as small as possible. That's impossible to do when I'm constantly forced to be in fullscreen mode.

An option to disable fullscreen mode would be a quick fix, as I'm sure this issue is probably hard to diagnose.

I play a lot on my Android phone, but that seems to be a nightmare now (and the screen goes black when I finish a game.

At end of game the game loads the end-of-game screen, including some pictures. This takes a bit of time the first time it happens, so that explains the black screen in the mean time.

I'm getting a black screen for about 10 seconds, and it's not just the first game I play. An easy fix is to load this stuff when the game starts, or maybe you don't actually need pictures on the end game screen?

Unfortunately, it's a formally 1-person operation with volunteers to help out.

If it's a one-person operation with software that has been plagued with bugs ever since the newest version was released, then the best thing to do would be to REVERT TO THE MOST RECENT WORKING VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE until the newest version has been properly tested.

This release has been an absolute dumpster fire, worse than FunSockets back in the day, but at least they had someone competent at the wheel who realized that you shouldn't have software available to the public that doesn't work. You need to REVERT TO TO THE OLD VERSION until all of this stuff is worked out.

How long is it going to take until we get working Dominion again? It can be done in seconds while all of this work continues.

I had turned the animations completely off, the problem I was talking about was definitely lag. With the current version though, I'm not having that particular issue.

Teacher (and some 10 other similar cards) I already fixed, they are hopefully with the Soldier fix in the next upadate.

Hopefully this includes the three zombies, their text is super tiny

Interface Issues / Re: Nausea

I've been a software engineer for my entire working career, over 10 years. This is pretty poor practice and it looks like when Allies is released and things like this aren't fixed, that's going to be a breach in the contract with RGG. I can't wait for the Temple Gates client to be finished, at least I'll be able to play that one.

It's still unclear what makes people nauseatic, besides the animations. Do you use the "moving kingdom" option?

I didn't use it on the old client and I don't use it on the new client

Interface Issues / Nausea
22 February 2022, 04:41:01 PM
I finally managed to get a game in on a different computer and I was able to play a game of Dominion on this new client. I felt like I was going to throw up after maybe 9 turns, so I stopped playing. A quick search through various Discord channels shows that I'm not the only one with this issue. I've tried a few different animation settings and ended up turning animations off -- the time I got nauseous the animations were off for the whole game.

I'm not going to play a game that makes me feel this way. I've paid for a subscription that lasts through the end of the year, for a product that didn't make me physically sick to use.

I gotta be honest with you, Allies previews are in a week and this client has obviously not gotten the testing it needs. It will be a huge disappointment if I can't play with these new cards because you decided to break online Dominion a week before.

Please revert the changes until more testing is done. If the game continues to make people nauseous to play and the changes are not reverted, then I'd like to be refunded for the rest of my subscription.

It looks like there were a couple of releases since this was posted, I'm no longer having this issue.

Connection Problems / Client performance
21 February 2022, 09:52:08 PM
Since the new client update, everything lags horribly. It takes 30 seconds of the spinning castle before the login screen is even displayed, and every click takes about a second to resolve. It was this way when the new stuff was dev.dominion.games, while the regular dominion.games was responsive and fast like always. I had hoped that maybe the dev server was a machine with lower specs and it would be better when it was released to the main one but the performance is still the same.

I paid for a subscription that goes until next year for a client that worked. I want the old one back until this one has the bugs worked out. It's pretty clear this one hasn't been tested enough.

I reported this problem on the Discord where supposedly feedback was welcome but there was no reply. It is still a problem. After using the touchscreen on my laptop, no matter where I touch, I'm kicked to fullscreen mode. It's consistent that after using the touchscreen twice in the Dominion window that it kicks me to fullscreen mode.

I'm on an HP laptop using Google Chrome on Windows 10. I can give more information if needed.

An option to disable fullscreen mode would be an acceptable workaround until this is fixed.

This makes the client unplayable on my laptop, which makes it unplayable for me. I paid for a subscription until next year for a client that actually worked, can I have that client back please?

It seems like this client wasn't really tested well before it was released.

Feature Requests / Re: Friends-only tables?
16 February 2022, 02:17:54 PM
Years ago I complained about this and was told that the workaround was to set spectators to friends only, fill your table with bots until your friends arrive at the table, then kick the bots and have your friends sit down at the table.

This workaround doesn't actually work for many reasons, but the devs don't care. It's impossible for me to playtest designed kingdoms with human opponents without risking someone else seeing the kingdom who I don't want to see it.

There is no way to restrict who sits down at your table other than to put a bot in all the seats and block everyone.

General Discussion / Re: Chat accusation “BOT” ?
05 November 2021, 03:20:47 PM
If someone out there makes a bot that plays games on Shuffleit and is any good at all, I'm extremely interested in that bot. Please @ me thx.

Even if it's not good I'm actually still interested.

I struggle to think of situations where I would want the Silvers before most of my Estates and Coppers were gone. Seems like you'd have to design a kingdom to get me to want to do that.

There may be an error in the combining then -- if there's going to be another line that says +$1 then that first line with the copper should probably only say $1 instead of $2. I read this and think that Rat has $8 total when it should only be $7.
