Drive On Moscow FAQ

[daviddunham]

What systems will Drive on Moscow run on? Are there any plans to port the game to other platforms?
Drive on Moscow will run on any model Apple iPad device running iOS 7.0 or later (this excludes only the original iPad). We’re currently working on an update for iPhone. Porting to other platforms such as Android or Windows Surface (or desktop systems like Mac OS X or Windows) would require a major redevelopment effort. While we don't rule out such a project for the future, we have no plans to do it.

Why only iOS 7?
One of the most common feature requests from Battle of the Bulge was improved Game Center chat. This requires system support that is only present in iOS 7.

How can I find opponents for Drive on Moscow?
You can play against the built-in AI or face to face against a friend, but if you'd like to find online opponents check this forum post. Or just start an online game against AUTOMATCH, which will auto-match against another player who did the same.

But the “Online” buttons are disabled!
Be sure you have a Game Center account and are logged in. (If necessary, use Game Center in the Settings app, to log out, then switch back to the game to log in.)

What happens if I send a Game Center turn without connectivity?
If you are playing on the train and enter a tunnel just as you’re completing your turn, the game saves it to transmit later.

How come I can’t invite a friend to play?
Your friend doesn’t need to own the game but if they have turned off Game Invites in their Game Center account, you will get an error message.

I should have earned an achievement, but didn’t!
Achievements are stored on Game Center, so you need to be sure you’re logged in to a Game Center account (see above).

The game is completely stuck!
If completely restarting the game doesn’t work (because it restores to the same point), find Moscow in the Settings app and disable Restore State. (You can turn it back on after you get back to the main menu.) At worst, you may need to delete the game and reinstall it (either from the App Store or by syncing). This will lose any AI or face-to-face game in progress, but will not affect Game Center.

I can't see where the rivers/towns are on the map.
During testing, we found that some players find the front line and pieces obscure terrain features such as rivers and buildings. To temporarily hide everything on top of the game map, press and hold anywhere on the map that does not have a piece over it. You can also remember that rivers are curved, while other space boundary lines are straight. (Note that during some weather conditions, rivers freeze over.)

How do I get news about the game?
One way is to follow the game on Twitter: @TSS_Bulge.

What does the game post to Twitter and Facebook?
If you tap the Share button, the game posts a screen shot to your Twitter feed or Facebook wall. With Facebook, you can also choose the audience and album.

We never post anything automatically, and you always get a chance to edit the post before sharing.

Why can’t I post to Twitter or Facebook?
Be sure you set up your account in the Settings app.

The AI keeps crashing
Unfortunately, some people end up repeatedly finding a rare bug. We don’t know why it affects you and not most people, but we have identified what’s going on, and will fix it in our next update.

I have a question that was not on that list.
Please post about your issue on this forum, or visit the game’s Support page.

Drive on Moscow is great!
That isn’t a question. But please spread the word, through App Store ratings or reviews, using the Share button, inviting friends to play, or just shouting from the rooftop.
