Re: Weird error with Solitaire 3D Lite

Hi Fredrik,
no fix for this as I've not been able to reproduce it myself. I hope it does not happen too often and I suspect (hope) its a problem specific to Gaps.
Cheers..

Re: iPad bug still not fixed

This bug will be addressed in the V3 release, still some months away. Seems to be something specific to iOS 15, but I can't confirm this yet.

In the meantime I'd suggest playing in Portrait mode on the iPad as Riddler suggested, or don't chat.

Re: Version 3 - Suggestions

This is a problem in V2 when the Statistics get too large. A fix has been implemented and will be in V3.

Re: Crashes in ios15

Try rotating your device first to see if that helps.

If it does not help there's nothing else I can suggest at the moment.

This should be fixed up in the next version, due out in sometime in the first half of 2022 (hopefully).

Re: moving my account to a new hard drive

Your game history and ranking is store online so you just need to sign in to the game using the same network username and all will be fine. Your stats and in-game settings etc. will be lost though unless you copy the user files from your old machine to the new machine. See here for information on ho...

Re: Cheaters /ip tracing etc - Possible solution

The unique machine code is not connected to the IP in any way, and yes it will be the same for different users on the same machine. But it could be a good idea and I'll look into it before the V3 release. Of course it won't stop cheaters using another machine to play on (with also possibly a differe...

Re: Cheaters /ip tracing etc - Possible solution

Version 3 will show coded IPs and not the real ones so you can still compare but no personal information is revealed.

The unique machine ID is interesting and I will look into it.

There were some posts in the past about the bad distribution of cards (e.g. constantly getting an unnatural amount of one or two suits each deal) - is this still an issue?

Ok going to start working on changes to the ranking system now for Version 3.

Re: Version 3 - Query to Everyone - Ending Network Games

Ok fine. I'll leave it in.

And yes maybe 2 confirmations is enough in a 4 player game - if one of them is the current leader.

The increasing quitter punishment is a good idea also.

Ok, but does it get used successfully or not? Its something I need to re-write and I'm wondering to include it at all, or just have only a quit option where people will get punished for quitting, but hopefully it will not happen too often. It seems we need to weigh how often it gets used as designed...

Version 3 - Query to Everyone - Ending Network Games

Hello all, a quick question - does the 'End Game' feature get used much in practice? i.e. Where one player presses the "End Game" button during network play (in the pause screen) and the other players have to type "Y" in the chat to agree, which allows the game to be ended without the player being p...
