Doesn't support "Double-Repeat" #124

Open Smiles2go opened 1 week ago

Smiles2go commented 1 week ago

Version 2.0 (674) from 22. June 2024 07:24:42

Please either warn users about Double-repeat before joining a tournament or match with it, or add support to app for Double-repeat.

Apparently I joined a double-repeat tournament "DRive To Five #14" from within this app, but wasn't warned or aware in advance that is what it was.

When tournament actually started a few days later, and it was my move, app then complains: image

I guess I must play that one out in web browser.

I see now there was a clue in tournament name, starting with "DR", and app displays the Variant. So adding a confirmation warning "App doesn't support Double-repeat variants. If you join, play must be in web browser, not this app. (Join anyway) (exit)" image

Good idea ! I'll try to implement it, it will come with one of the next updates.

Or add button to current warning:

(Open DG in Safari) (to play this game)

This would be especially nice if it could enter username password automatically and get to that game, but may be too messy if DG doesn't have convenient URL structure or REST commands.

I have solved the problem of transferring the user ID and password to a web browser. A build #677 has already been delivered via testFlight. Bildschirmfoto 2024-07-03 um 07 53 45 Bildschirmfoto 2024-07-03 um 07 55 19

I see the warning now from Game Lounge, when signing up for DR match. Thank you!

When it is my move in a DR game, DG now offers option "Play in browser" but tapping there I just get a blank white screen:

Going to browser for Help is still working for me, so I thought this would.

I tested it on 5 different devices and it worked everywhere.

It won't be easy to find out why it doesn't work for you...

Even harder to find now that it is working for me also. Working in both in landscape and portrait orientation.

I don't know what changed between not working and working. Only change I'm sure of is that I now have two DR games going when there was only one before, when not working from DG. But can't think of why that might matter.

One minor thing easy to reproduce ... menu button in top-right corner is very hard to see when in Dark Mode.

Sadly, blank white screen has returned trying to play DR. Help screen is still fine and can get from there to Top Page in browser.

When DR play was working, there was briefly a white screen flash before (correct!) game screen comes up.

Could issue be related to navigating to game?

PETER - please try login to my account and see if you get white screen with DRive To Five #18. I'll leave it unplayed for a day. Still "Bit......"

Aha ... DRive To Five #14 currently goes to browser board OK but #18 still goes to white screen.

I am leaving both unplayed for a day so you can try.

We can do that, but I haven't saved your login details. it's best to send them to me by email.

So I could check in the debugger what is causing the problem.

I have tried this several dozen times on my devices and in the simulator with different configurations. It has always worked.

Ok. Sent as in-game text and also as Support email.
