Installed fine, two games started with forces purchased. Waiting on the enemy's first moves. So far so good!

Can I:

1. Start a new multiplayer game

and then

2. Accept it myself and play against myself?

If I try this it seems to just "waiting" when I try to accept my own multiplayer game.

You definitely should be able to. Is it consistently failing?

It picked up quickly a bit later. Weird.

Snow colour seems fine here. The buttons up top over top of each other needs to be fixed.

I second the "be able to see the map before purchasing troops." Although the alternative of playing yourself achieves the same thing I suppose.

Yeah - it would be ideal, although we do try and make it so there isn't a 'right' answer for a given map (e.g. we don't make it so that taking tanks is silly because of the terrain, etc).

Having said that, it does seem a little limiting, in hindsight. We won't be making the change in this version though. We will try and get it into the next update.

btw - found and fixed the odd map colours issue. Was actually an existing bug - sometimes you would get the colours from PC maps if your game was started on a different system, being sent just because they are baked into the tiles. And they are arranged differently. Fixed now .

I am getting "cannot validate your details" when I try to log on to play beta games.

The main game seems fine.

Are you sure you entered the correct password? It's logging me in fine, and it uses the same login details. I assume you are talking about the iPad version?

I am still getting, when I click multiplayer/connect to server:

Unable to validate details...

I don't even get the opportunity to put in or change name and password.

I will try at home tonight, on wifi, and see if it makes any diff.

And yes...iPad2.

Hmmm - can you be sure and delete the app before installing the 2.0.1 update, and then see if that fixes it. I am not sure what could cause that - it is almost as if it is caching some corrupted data.

Uninstalled 2.0 tonight (was still getting that error). Installed 2.1 (took about 10 minutes...better than before). Seems fine.

Hmmmm

Not sure what could have caused it. As I say, must have been a caching error. I will look into it.

Perhaps I typed too soon! PLayed one turn...ended turn...sitting now at 2:05 so far for turn to send to server??

3:15...

It's failed. I think we have run into a server spike that could be impacting performance again. I will look into it. I would retry and see if it helps.

Cheers

No luck. Tried 3 times, finally got a 'game has failed multiple times...discard turn...server will make note turn was retried.'

Hmmmm. I just tried and it took a little longer than I would expect (10 seconds or so, which for me is an age). Can you try the turn again and see what happens. As I say, my guess is it could be server load. We will have to take a look again at performance. Damn successful MP games...

Cheers

Turn redone...6 seconds to send to server.

2nd game...sent in under a second
