Hello all,

Thanks for everyone who sent feedback, please keep it coming!

I just deployed an update, v4.01.0, which fixes some bugs and addresses the highest priority feedback you've alls ent.

Just like the other Seeking Feedback threads, I'm looking to hear everyone's feedback on the new version or anything related the game at all! Please submit bug reports here: http://warzone.com/ReportBug

Here's what's new:

4.01.0:
- Added "Help" button to the top right menu with links to the wiki, instructions to contact Fizzer, and a way to report bugs.
- When switching between chat tabs, focus is now placed on the text box automatically so you can start typing without having to click first. Thanks to linberson for suggesting this.
- Added a check-box to the settings that stops the coin wheel from popping up on its own. Even when turning this off, the wheel can still be accessed on demand through the Settings menu.
- Added "Zoom cutoff" setting to debug menu. This controls at what level the game feels like the map is zoomed too far out for you to see anything, and therefore it will zoom in when playing animations. If you'd like to experiment with this value, try it out and let me know what value you end up liking.
- Added "Map buffer" setting to the debug menu. This controls how much space is added to the sides of the map. (It's only read when a game loads) If you'd like to experiment with this value, try it out and let me know what value you end up liking.
- Fixed a bug with mods in commerce games that try to set player's gold levels. Thanks to dabo1 for reporting this. As a side-effect of this fix, gold being awarded to players will now show up as an order at the end of every turn. The code for mods to get a player's gold is now updated, see the wiki.
- Fixed a bug that made the chat panel disappear off the bottom if your window was re-sized to be too small. Thanks to Muli for reporting this.
- Fixed redirect from /Play to /SinglePlayer. Thanks to linberson for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a "too many vertices" error when selecting extremely large bonuses on extremely large maps.
- Fixed spacing on the maps page. Thanks to Taran for reporting this.
- Fixed an error with the airlift card when closing it via hotkey. Thanks to rlhull6 for reporting this.
- Fixed a bug that made AIs in multi-player games with mods sometimes unable to commit orders.
- Fixed "Chat disposed" error. Thanks to EQReport for reporting this.


What's next?

The iOS app is finally live! The process of coming up with new graphics is underway (See https://www.warzone.com/Forum/288404-new-warzone-design-megathread). I need to fix the app so it looks correct on the iPhone X, I have a few misc bugs on my list to address, 8 mod-related bugs, then about 20 feature improvements I plan to make based on feedback from these threads.

why did we go up a dot?

Maybe not the place for this, but it's not big enough for a Uservoice thread:

Can we get rid of the popup when clicking the "see older chat" button when there has been no chat? If there needs to be a visual representation of this, the button could either be grayed out, or the same text could pop up as a message in the actual chat box. Not a big deal, but a small annoyance over many years.

I don't know if this has been addressed yet, and I am SO sorry for wasting your time if it has, but on mobile the join and decline buttons when joining or declining a game are in very inconvenient locations. I think they should be farther away from the bottom corner and more towards the middle. It bothers my entire friend group.

Internally this was a pretty big update due to the fix for commerce games, as I had to move where gold data is stored between data structures.

Or, if you prefer, "we ran out of digits" at 4.00.9.

I agree that part is poorly done. I'll add this to my list but it's a low priority right now.

This is the first time I've heard this. Can you write more as to why you feel that's better? The reason they're where they are now is because they're outside the scrollable region, so they'll always be visible no matter what tab you're on and what scroll position you're at.

- Added a check-box to the settings that stops the coin wheel from popping up on its own. Even when turning this off, the wheel can still be accessed on demand through the Settings menu.

=)

EDIT: Where though? I find the wheel on demand button, but nothing to stop it from popping up.

I reported a bug. The bug report page asks for the Unity version. I don't know where that information is - it would be good to add that info into your post.

In flash and unity (Chrome), on the player profile page it displays the opponent's name and the multiplier % when hovering over the points earned in a game. This goes wrong when hovering over points earned in a tournament (it seems like it wants to display all participant's names or so).

Or, if you prefer, "we ran out of digits" at 4.00.9.

>.> 4.00.10

unless i don't understand how build numbers work

you could also say, because the IOS version is out

@ My Mighty Boy

Looks like ladder player/team list is broken?

https://www.warzone.com/LadderTeams?ID=0&Offset=900

Rating doesn't show up for any unranked player, even if they do have a nonzero/unexpired rating. Is that intentional?

The banners for ios seems to be a bit slow? Mine just showed up 15 min after the turn advanced/game started when x2 home buttoned back to WZ app. (and yes, I got a QM boot cus of that. Clearly not me forgetting about the seek :P )

In case it's relevant, I started a RT QM seek then switched to another app. (Got a fb msg) Not really sure how fast notifications like that appear either tbo.

little confused what i'm looking at bane. if you are referencing the ios App it still wasn't out at that time. even though it was the build that was finally approved.

great to see more often updates!

Fizzer: can the community events on the dashboard be full listed? they aren't that many to make sense having a see more button imho

3v3 ladder table grows outside the limits
