Graphical glitch using new patch

Post by MikeO »

Hi, I downloaded the patch today, no issues until one of the combats in an online game. Then I experienced a graphical glitch where the combat box/ arrow didn't go away, and it has persisted in all of my games, including new games against the AI. In other words, it's always there, anytime in game (but not while at main menu, help files, etc). Here is a link to a screenshot:

This is probably not related to the new version. It is a rare bug we're trying to figure out reproduction steps for. So if it happens again, please report it from the game (tap, tap, press-and-hold on the dials). This gives us a saved game. (I assume repro steps on your end are something like “received a turn from a remote player.”)

That's exactly the bug I've gotten this morning. So far I can't shake it loose. I have seen it before the current build, only once. And so has Dave Hoeft.

BTW I couln't get the bug report window to fire up from within the game, which is another issue that has creeped up more than once.

What I should say, is I have managed to get the report bug window to fire up, but the virtual keyboard is locked so I can't type in any additional info.

If that happens try unlocking your device's orientation (if you had it locked), then rotating it 180 degrees. I've seen that fix the issue a few times, though I couldn't tell you why.

Hi Jeff
Your trick worked. I don't lock my screen orientation, but moving the switch turns off the lock which I'm assuming BotB puts on orientation. So I sent another report with text about the shadow glitch.

Hmm, rebooting the iPad did, in fact, work. At least for now. Thanks guys, I had not run into that before - it's an incredible nuisance when trying to play. I'll try to send the save if it happens again.
