Game Center Challenges

Post by boone737 »

Has anyone else been able to accept a challenge game? I been trying to make and accept challenges but when I hit "play game" there's no player there.

Yes I've been sending and accepting challenges without any problems and judging by the discussions I believe most people are able to as well.

This may be a silly question but you do realise that the game is designed for Asynchronous play so there's every likelihood your opponent may not be online at that moment in time and you'll need to wait for them to take their turn?

If you're aware of that and it seems you're hitting an issue you can send a bug report by double tapping then holding the date/time bar in the top right hand corner to get the email popup.

If you’re trying to auto-match, my understanding is that the pool of possible players is actually very small. The first one starts the match, and the next player to choose auto-match is matched.

This should also mean that if you start a game, you’ll get an opponent before too long.

While we're on the subject (and I'm sure this has probably been mentioned before) but it'd be good to be able to specify the game type when automatching irrespective of whether you're 'creating' or 'joining'.

I almost always want to play the BotB scenario now but occasionally I get automatched in a RttM game which I have little interest for.

i didn't make myself clear in the first post

I'm referring to the challenges where you Race to the Meuse and get points. The 'general' game challenge works fine, but I'm not able to challenge someone for the 10 Game Center points.

Ah, the achievement that isn't implemented yet. I don't know what happens in the release build, I have seen it work in the one we hope to release soon.
