I couldn’t attack a town during a war with most of the attacking options

I applied a jackpot to an enemy town and afterwards I couldn’t attack the town with most of my „weapons“. Only the „giant rock monster“ worked. Others from my club apparently could attack. Am wondering why this could happen. Perhaps the rather cryptic name of the enemy town? Obviously it’s some sort of bug. I have a video of it, but cannot upload it on here. ☹️ And now it‘s moaning that the file size of the screenshot is too large. You’re not making it easier to report ....

  • @165832b8665c422f304c4fa6e9fcd7b3 There is an unusual bug that prevents some players attacks specific cities on the war map, some friends in my club complaints about that too, but is pretty rare, anyway, they fixed it by just closing and reopening the app. 

    about another thing:

    I see, if you having problems with your name you can try clicking on the arrow right to your name, and go to EA Account and try to set up a name in the settings, eventually works, this forum have a strange bug with those symbols and nicknames.

  • I had the same issue during my club's last war, when the war first started and I was on my iPhone SE. I later switched to my Samsung tablet and was able to attack, so it was maybe an iPhone thing (if that's what you have too).

  • @morgana-mac I tried killing the app and restarting. It didn’t work. Also I don’t care about city names. Everybody as they like. And I didn’t try a different device as I have SimCity only installed on my iphone xs.

    This has happened to me before, and another player in our club. It was only with the Shield Buster attacks for both of us, though.

  • @cls78628 It has happened to me like 50 times. Just attack. At worst it have took 1 min to get attack through.

    This have happened mostly when I'm charging my phone so I thought it's only my problem. Very annoying

    I have Samsung A6 2018 and I have the same problem. I can't attack any cities on the max right side. Restart gives nothing. Today, attack other cities, and wait when ea fix this problem.

  • This has to be fixed fast. I lost 3 jps last war because I couldn't attack. I'm mainly playing on huawei mate 20 pro if it matters.
