Issue resolved: No AP point roll over and no outrageous AP scores to start. - That's the good news.
1st issue: All buttons become inactive (except Pause) and directional arrows disappear, nothing to do but wait for the time clock to run out.
Example: PVP streak ended at 7 by game glitch while PVP was in progress. Triple checked wifi connection. Next PVP match was successful.
GLU: Once we have the PVP match loaded on our local devices we should be able to complete the match and get the reward, without having to connect to the GLU server again; until we want to load another PVP match to play/complete.
PS: I only post each type of issue, but I assure you, these issues are happening more than once before I take the time to post them. I just write about one specific example of when they happened.
This has been happening since the 12/18/14 tournament, at least.
iPhone 4, usually.

GLU: I hope you realize that if you don't correct these PVP issues, people will turn away from PVP, which is turning away from the competitive spirit that we spend the most gold for.
This happened in the last tournament as well.
Yes, the team is aware of the issues and continues to work on them.
Had the very same problem, in the middle of the game suddenly no directional arrows. Lost of course when time was up. Playing against wow...... at 21:25 cet.
Again, nothing to do except wait for the time clock to run out. Lost match, lost win streak, no diamond reward.
This has been happening since the 12/18/14 tournament, at least.
The opponent going under the floor hasn't happened to me yet though he did disappear completely during one pvp. (Bar showing the opponents health moving up and down but nothing to shoot at). What has happened to me several times is that my guy suddenly goes underground, like he was on the floor one level below the action. Same result, clock runs down and everything lost.
Example: I've been using 'revenge' successfully for 9 matches in a row and won them; on my 10th revenge match I won as well, but my battle log shows I lost to the player I won against, 10 minutes prior to winning. I didn't fight the same player twice as the battle log suggests (1 loss, 1 win, same player, back-to-back).
Possible new issue in comparison to Dec and Jan tournaments I posted notes about.
5th issue: Battle log shows 'defense lost' while being logged on to the game:
Example: I've been logged on to the game for over 5 hours, but 55 minutes ago my base was attacked twice and both attacks had the 'revenge' option listed, so I doubt it has anything to do with 'revenge'. BTW:9200 diamonds lost between those two attacks.
GLU: Before, the only way to not get attacked was to be playing the game or at least be signed on to the game. Has the game changed to take out the 'at least be signed on to the game' requirement?
Possible new issue in comparison to Dec and Jan tournaments I posted notes about.
tried again, won the next one but the diamonds weren't added to my total, 20:35 against emr......
So I'm not the only one who has been attacked while online (which I was led to believe was the only sure way not to lose your diamonds i.e. staying online).
Obviously location isn't one of the factors (USA and Germany). I've tried to figure out if glitches happen more or less during a certain time of day, what devices/OS are being used, how frequently I'm playing, whether it's in a particular area of the game, what opponents I'm going against, or AP differences, etc... And yes, I always check wifi connection to rule that out as a possibility.
The only way I can try to stay objective, and not take this personally, is because I don't spend RW money; sorry GLU, when your game is as consistent as money, I'll think about using more money. I know it's just a game and I'm only giving my time and observations/thoughts/suggestions; otherwise, I would probably go from confused/frustrated to Angry, like I see many people have done and wrote about.
That's one of the very first things I tried to find out by writing to GLUADMIN and customer care (multiple times); no response yet. I use an iphone4 for gaming, as you know, and logically its very possible that a 2011 device is simply too old to keep up; even if all background apps are closed, plenty of available memory resources, and connected to reliable wifi. I've also used a newer ipad, but both had the same type of errors. Your guess is as good as mine, and maybe GLU's as well. ???
Your inbox is full.
Should I write an issue #6 for the forum error? LOL. Inbox has 4 of 25 available messages, and sent has 8 of 25 available, but I'll try clearing some and see if that works.
"Inbox contains 0 messages. You have 4 messages stored, of a total 50 allowed."
Update for everyone reading this, after deleting the 4 messages in my inbox, I was able to get Angels Holocaust's new PM message. The inbox issue has happened before, but it only happens maybe once a month.
One other thing, I have spent no money on this game and don't intend to. If it comes to the stage where I have to spend money to advance any further then that's game over for me. Watching the videos should be reward enough for Glu..........
If anyone can shed some light on when these issues have been happening to you, for how long, or if there are others...please add. As I wrote in previous tournament review posts, this thread is to provide GLU with a consolidated list of feedback about game issues we've experienced during the tournaments.
Thanks for the glu fix,i have a win streak of 156 until now,still have 2 more hours for pvp to end.i have not spend any gold to buy energy,just played for almost 18-20 hours everyday! my family thinks i have gone nuts!LOL
anyway thanks Glu team
my rank now is 346,i dont have a tesla or heavy gun,just playing with demonh17 and sr-308 raiper
I played the tournament more casually and didn't buy energy this time, but I think I got a pretty good sample of playing at different times of the day/night for the entire tournament. Lost out on about 1000AP, 30K diamonds, and 40+ energy bars over the 4 days.
Anyway, 5 types of game errors, plus loading issues (from other posts) to work on; hopefully before the next tournament.
I have an iPhone and I didn't have any problems at all. I ended up with 776 win streak.
What version of the iOS are you using on your iPhone that didn't have game errors? iOS 7 or iOS 8?
Hardware would explain whether the game ran smoothly or more choppy/delayed. We're both using the same game software. We're both using a reliable/consistent internet connection. So iOS seems to be the most reasonable explanation. I'm using an iPhone running iOS 7, so if you are using iOS 8, then that could be the difference in experiencing game issues or not.
Im running IOS 8.0 on Iphone 6 plus
BTW: iOS 7 still works properly with Deer Hunter and Dino Hunter, so it looks like whatever software/programing was used to create/implement Contract Killer was different in some way that isn't as compatible with iOS 7 as it is with iOS 8.
GLU ADMIN: You might want to update the iOS compatibility disclosure in the description of your app in the Apple app store.
Sounds like a plan
