Can’t join game due to battle in progress

Whilst I actually made this suggestion to have you not be able to start a new match until the current battle is finished if you disconnect. I don’t see this as fair if you simply get the error message can’t find battle because you’re already in one. What should happen is you reconnect to the current battle!!!!

Because we aren’t mostly disconnected due to exiting the App, but disconnected because of your bad server ping. Another terrible issue. So you should be able to restart the App fast and get back into the battle to perhaps still have a chance of winning. 

I get that that you don’t want people just disconnecting themselves. But they’ll quit this behaviour if you force them to finish the fight they didn’t want to keep fighting in. 

Please fix!!! Or at least come up with a software patch that monitors who disconnected from the battle or was disconnected due to poor network. Surely this is an easy fix.

    Thanks for the feedback. I don’t think the game is actually performing as advertised though. I’ve tried a few times exiting the game whilst a battle is going on and have succeeded in joining another match. So unless you can tell me the code is supposed to prevent a player from entering another battle until the previous battle is finished then this is a technical issue. 

    I would suggest this is the case because there are no release notes to suggest the contrary. 

    I hadn’t seen this error message before, so presumed a change had been made.

    Hi @s70ABlackHawk and thank you for the suggestion.

    Since this is not a technical issue, you could post that as feedback in the Game Information section to gain more traction.


    I would suggest that the game should be able to differentiate between disconnecting cause of bad network and disconnecting cause the player didn't want to fight his enemy anyone. On the first part, it would be great if I disconnected early in a match that I was nearly going to win by launching 2 nukes. I'd lose the 2nd nuke by then, but I'd be able to steal the 3rd nuke and win. For the 2nd one, let players be if they don't want to fight. Sometimes I want to fight someone just to see how tough they are. Of all matches in this case, at least 30% of my enemies disconnect. I would sure like to disconnect without closing the app after he disconnects so that by default, my enemy wins. I don't really want to win in this case, I just want to try and prolong the match without losing.

    The positive aspect of someone disconnecting, especially early, is that when you have a hard bounty to complete like building 3 Avatars you can just stop charging the middle, kill your own players and build the 3 Avatars or Mammoth tanks etc..... 😎
