Games not expiring?


(General_Rommel) #1

What is the time for games to expire again?

I have three games that say 5 days, and another three that are at 4 days

Aren’t those supposed to turn purple and say “expired” then when you tap them the game summary happens and you get the pot of coins? Has the limit been extended?

Three days (slightly more than a weekend) was perfect, IMO

It seems to be at the end of five days now. If you have one saying five days already you should have less than a full day left until it expires.

IMHO five days is still far too long, even with the new coin reward. Three would be much, much better.

I agree 3 would be better than 5, I think that’s to long


(General_Rommel) #4

Nope. It’s not even 5 days

Two of those games have now reached Day 6!

I can confirm its at the end of 7 days. Just had one of them “expire”, and haven’t two more still at 7 days that I guess will end sometime today

Even though you get the coins now, this was better before the patch. Waited a week just for 147 coins - would rather have used that slot for active players and games instead

I definitely had one expire a couple of days ago at five days. Seems like things might not be working as intended. Hopefully it’ll revert to three days after the next patch.

Games expire after three and a half days ±an hour or two. The reason they don’t expire on the full day is because when we did that people would sometimes play the turn right as the game was expiring. The UI in the game sometimes does not reflect that properly however. I think the UI there might be bugged. I checked all sessions currently tracked and none of them were older than three days and 14 hours.


(General_Rommel) #9

When you say the “UI might be bugged”, you mean to say that it only says it’s been over 3 days, but in reality it hasn’t been 3 days?

(Like it’s counting too fast, or getting messed up with time zones, or something… I’m no programmer)

So for example in this screenshot, the times are not accurate?


If so, then that’s OK - it does show I’m just a bit too impatient to play this awesome game! :slight_smile:

I have one at four days in my queue right now and I am pretty sure that it truly has been there that long. If it makes it to five days or longer then I will be able to say with absolute certainty that it has gone beyond the intended parameters - it’s a game from late last week so if it’s still hanging around on Tuesday it will have overstayed its welcome, without any shadow of a doubt! :slight_smile:

Edit: My one showing four days did expire this morning. It is possible that it could have been the UI getting a little confused. I have definitely had one showing five days though. Something does seem a little off since the patch. I’m glad you guys are looking into it.


(mitsuhiko) #11

Alright, 7 days is fishy. I’m looking into that into more detail.

Indeed, there were some games that did not expire properly. Issue has been corrected and you all should have received the rewards for them. Hopefully this does not happen again, the bug is fixed now. Games will now expire after the intended ±3.5 days but due to how the UI currently does rounding it might lie to you a bit (sometimes you might see 4 days :)).

Sorry for the inconvenience caused, play on :slight_smile:

Great!! Thnks for the update!

Wow, thanks for the prompt response and fix (on your end, as there wasn’t even an update, so I’m guessing it was on the servers, and not the app itself?)

Kudos to the support staff for this game!
