Does Shuffle It needs their permission?
No, we need permission from Rio Grande Games and we have that - for every language out there.

With Japanese released, the only language currently in progress is French.
If anyone wants to make another translation I'm certainly willing to facilitate.
Don't underestimate the work involved though.

Card Bugs / Re: Diplomat Reaction Does Not Work
13 July 2017, 03:20:05 PM
I think this is a misunderstanding about the Dominion rules on your side?

Diplomat doesn't actually stop the attack. You are allowed to respond to the attack to get a nice effect, but then the attack is still happening.

Version 1.2.9.1


  • fix: bug where spectators sometimes would be automatically reconnected.
  • fix: leaving a table as a spectator didn't always remove you from the table
  • fix: friend list only lists players that are connected
  • attempt to fix: "player unknown" messages (this one was hard to reproduce so also not sure on the fix)

I've never had any connection problems in the past. Now, after the new release I can't connect at all (W10, Firefox 54.0.1) and only get the "Server connection was closed or could not be established." message. I even restarted my computer. No luck. Please help.

EDIT: I can now connect again. I'll still be a little concerned until I see the problem doesn't recur, but for now it's all good.

You were not the only one. Right after release 1.2.9 there was another (backend only) release to fix this problem.

I've just had a game (5051932 against HK-ad3) during which my browser hung.  Having killed and restarted the browser I logged back in and found myself at the 'Matching' screen rather than back in the game that I had been playing.  My unfortunate opponent will have had to wait to force a resignation and will no doubt be under the false impression that I quit the game because I was losing.

I've had a browser hang in the past and have successfully reconnected to the game by killing the browser, restarting it and then logging in again, so I'm puzzled as to why it didn't work this time, though in his description of the latest release Stef referred to improvements when reconnecting.  Has one of those 'improvements' caused a problem?

By the way I'm dane-m when playing.

Judging by the time of your post, this was in the middle of a release.
Releasing 1.2.9 was a bit troublesome and took much longer then usual.

Behind the scenes, we have two separate environments on every machine we use:

metaserver-A, frankfurt-A, oregon-A, tokyo-A
metaserver-B, frankfurt-B, oregon-B, tokyo-B

We alternate using the A-environment and the B-environment. This allows us to do a new release without killing the current connections, and everyone still connected to the old environment can just play out their games. New connections are automatically forwarded to the new environment, and when your game is finished it asks you to reload to establish such a new connection.

Unfortunately this system doesn't deal at all with people accidentally losing their connection in the meanwhile. You can't reach the old environment anymore so loss of connection during a release means you just lost the game. Maybe one day I'll find a way to deal with that too, but so far it hasn't been worth the effort.

I had standard matching activated and was matched with another player. 3-player is unchecked by default. We played a row of games and in between the games a new player appeared at our table. Surprised why he came to our table when he wasn't a friend to either of us, he told us that he was matched by the tool to our table. Neither me nor my opponent had asked for a 3-player game, so the matching tool shouldn't have sent the other player to our table.

Is it possible that he joined your table using the 'tables' menu?

It's hard to imagine he was really using the automatcher. When the automatcher creates a game, it only uses people that are searching and always immediately starts that game.

Should be restored by now.

No, rating-wise there is no difference between a loss, resigning yourself or being resigned by someone else.

Off course it isn't nice at all to just leave without resigning. You make someone else wait for a few minutes without any reason.

...pays a subscription and subsequently get banned...

This is entirely hypothetical. The people that feel a desire to pay for / contribute to a service they're using, are a strict subset of the people that are willing to play a game at the expense of others.

In other words - I've never had a single complaint yet about a paying member.


That doesn't mean you'd be excused from any behaviour if you're paying, and it also doesn't imply I wouldn't be willing to ban you. But there would probably be some series of warnings first.

Forgot my password, so clicked on the "Forgot your password?" link. But have never received an email with the new password. Help!

According to the database only 1 mail was sent to you... on may 3rd, to confirm the new account. And since you also clicked that link I assume it worked.

Did you enter your username before clicking "forgot password"? Or is the problem in fact that you forgot the username? (it's GallicusNZ)

Hey there guy's.
There are some people make me wait a lot just to make me resign if they're seeing they will lose the game. Thats not fair. How could we solve that Problem?

Thanks.

You report them to one of the moderators or to me in a personal message.
We will do a bit of investigation, and when we're convinced they're really slowplaying we ban them from the site.

Sorry you have to endure this. I apparently overestimated human decency.

I have this page coming up everytime I try to play. my company is a government organization, first time I tried logging in and I entered a wrong password and since then it's been giving me this screen :

P.S : im trying to play this in break time not during work time.


Thank you.

This is unrelated to you entering the password wrong.

Your websocket connection is being blocked; most likely by a firewall.
You could ask your system administrators to open up port 443, but I don't know how much they're willing to cooperate. It was probably a conscious decision of them to block this in the first place.

I replayed part of the game and can confirm that this error happens

oh yes sorry I forgot to reply here, but it has been fixed on dev and thus will be in the next release.

General Discussion / Re: Archive Glitch?
03 July 2017, 05:30:26 PM
The bug was indeed related to library. It shared a zone with Gear, Archive, Save and Haven. And unfortunately Library decided to discard the entire content of the zone when it was done being played. (the other cards keep reference to specific cards to pull from that zone at a later time).

Anyway, will be fixed in the next release.
