Re: Club wars bugs

Hi @missbabie,

Thanks for letting us know about this, I've moved your thread to the Support board šŸ™‚

If I understand right, these bubbles are not appearing at all for you, right? It's not that you hit them and you don't get any rewards.

To make sure there's no issues with the cache, could you try to restart your device? You would need to completely turn it off and on again after a few seconds.

If this doesn't make any difference, could you let us know in which device you are playing, and which is your OS (Android or iOS, and the version if you can).

Thanks!

-Mai

  • Hello,

    We noticed a bug today during war. Several of my mayors cannot attack while any building needs repair.

    However, most members CAN attack, even if they have buildings needing repairs.

    We understand you cannot attack while under the dome. But, why is it myself and others cannot attack without the bubble?

    It seems it is split 50/50 in our group. This lack of being able to attack when only 1 or 2 buildings are damaged, hinders gameplay. That means if other teams have the same issue, or do not have this issue, they can continue to attack, even if I hit them.

    Please advise if this is a known bug and when it can be fixed?

    Thanks

  • I have another bug to report.

    One of my mayors does not get to play very often. However, when he comes back into the game after war, he always has to repair buildings. His city does not auto repair.

    Thanks

  • I just noticed this too. It is almost like there is a virus out there that can be used to freeze your opponents from rebuilding once they have all the items a site needs. I was put under shield today because of this glitch. When I would have been able to rebuild before more attacks hit me if I were allowed to. What is going on? Is this a part of the game play that hasn’t been communicated yet?

    Hello @booey4864 @AnyaBoo918,

    First of all, thanks for sharing this information with us! I have a few questions, would you mind answering them?

    @booey4864 I guess you already know, but just to make sure: when 10 of your buildings are damaged, you get the shield. Then you need to repair all those 10 buildings before the shield is removed. So even if you had 10 damaged buildings, and you repair 8 of them, you won't be able to attack or get attacks until you have repaired all of them.

    So for some reason you are unable to attack, even before 10 of your buildings are damaged, is this correct?

    Those of you who are having this issue, are you playing and repairing while you are getting attacks?

    Regarding your second report - is he opening the game between wars? So let's say he plays today while your club is in a war and has 5 damaged buildings. Once the war ends, does he open the game or next time he opens it you are playing another war, and he has those 5 buildings still damaged?

    This might not be the problem at all, but if he is not opening the game between wars, I would try and see if opening the game while in peace to collect the rewards helps getting those buildings fixed.

    @AnyaBoo918 I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I understand your message. Which of the issues are you talking about?

    Thanks,

    -Mai

  • Thank you, Mai.

    Regarding the wars and not being able to attack: Several of us repair while being attacked and NOT in a bubble. However, we have not been able to attack like other team members can. This has nothing to do with the bubble - just regular attacks. 

    Regarding one of our mayors - he does not play as often as the rest of us, but he said every time he comes back into the game after war is done, he still has buildings to repair. So, his city is not auto-correcting or automatically rebuilding like it should.

    I hope that helps?

    Thanks!

    It does, thank you @booey4864.

    One last question - does this happen to you since the very beginning of the war, as soon as you get any of your buildings attacked? Or is it something that starts to happen randomly during the war?

    -Mai

  • As far as I am aware, those of us not able to attack after an initial hit have had this happen since the beginning. When I posted the bug in the forum, it was after I realized that others were attacking our opponents, even though they had buildings left to repair. I asked our group and of the 19 in the group, at least 5 of us have this problem. Even when I have been hit with a comic hand and have 1 building damaged, when I go to the war zone, the avatar woman has a red exclamation mark on her and will not let me attack until I repair that building. Same with the other players.

    Thanks for clarifying, @booey4864. I'll come back to you after talking about this with the team.

    Hi again @booey4864,

    1.- City not getting buildings automagically repaired after war

    The team was already aware of this one, and they are working on it. If the Mayor you are talking about experiences it again in future wars, please, ask them to submit a help request ticket through the game settings. The option is under Settings > Help > Contact Us.

    2.- Unable to attack without a shield

    Could you open a ticket from in-game for this one, so SimCity team can investigate it? Once you open the ticket, please, let me know which is the ID of the ticket so I can forward it.

    You can paste a link to this thread as a description of the issue if you want, to make it easier šŸ˜‰

    When opening the ticket, if you could include screenshots of the issue, like of your city not under shield, and then one unable to attack, that would be great. šŸ™‚

    Thank you!

    -Mai

  • I figured it out. For some reason I have to make a perfect circle with my finger around the disaster site instead of previously using a pull down motion. Try that and hopefully that will resolve it.

    Hi @dmod1986,

    Do you mean no cards were unlocked for you to be able to attack in Club Wars? If so, please, open a help request ticket so support can try to help. You can do so from in-game settings > Help > Contact us.

    Thanks!

    Sorry @booey4864, I think I didn't explain myself well enough ā˜¹ļø

    When I suggested to include the link, I meant on the ticket. But don't worry about it now, if the ticket was opened correctly, you should have gotten an email, which gives you a request number. That's the ID I was asking for šŸ™‚

    -Mai

  • I have another bug to report.

    One of my mayors does not get to play very often. However, when he comes back into the game after war, he always has to repair buildings.

    His city does not auto repair like it should.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    It can be defined as bug or abuse, in the middle of a city war you can be dismissed from your club without any reason. If you are actively playing and they dont like that they are just able to kick you out without any reason. Is there any solution for that problem?

    you can not be removed from club by vp or p during war,it is more likely that game removed you from club for cheating and suspicion is sufficient enough

  • As my friend Wapnozium shared and he’s absolutely correct, it may just be time to adjust the behavior pattern that creates the suspicions. At the end of the day wouldn’t you rather be recognized as someone that gave it their best effort (win or lose) than someone who took a shortcut. Quite honestly, when a memory is stirred from my competitive days it has nothing to do with championships or trophies or injuries (although they are daily reminders...and I smile) but it’s about the folks I competed with (teammates & opponents) and the effort and energy invested and the mutual respect earned and the knowledge that we honored the game.
