I have found that it is broken if you click on the watch game tab, but if you search for finished games within the tournament your are running in the "Game Finder" tab, you can quickly scroll through the finished games and see which ones are tagged as being watched by you. It is a little more tedious, but not crazily so.

Robes

watch game tab shows whose turn it is and how long left on his turn..

Yes, but it ALSO shows when games finish and who wins and loses.
VERY useful for TO's.

How long does it take to upload something?

That typically varies with filesize, in this case, I'm waiting for the head developer to become available.

Oh ok, was that why it hasn't been able to log me in the last few days?!

Bigges head ache for me at the moment is not having any notifications on the left menu for any new game chat.

Is this still an API issue or is my lap top dying? :shock:

If you are refering to Conqueror than yes. The new version fixes that little issue. If you are refering to anything else I have no idea. Most of the issues people are experiencing are because of this single issue. Because of this checking for new chat, new games etc. All of these are tied to this API and most of them (such as my app) will not function without it.

Does this fix take a week to upload also?

I need NEED NEEDNEEDNEED MY MAP RANK

now i can t even see my troops on the map.. unlike master fenrir, i am unable to play full fog... related to this problem?

by **therev1957** on Sat Jun 01, 2013 7:31 am

I am tired of not having game watch and having to update my tournaments one by one. I am hosting 9 tournaments and keep them up to date using game watch. Therefore I will not be updating them or sending out any more updates until this problem is fixed. Until now my tournaments all 70 of them have been (I think) well run, but I am just too busy to try to keep up with them without game watch...once game watch is fixed I will continue with my tournaments

Good god people. How much are you all going to whine and complain? Grow up. It's a freaking game. Do I use Map Rank, BOB, Watch game, etc? Heck yeah I do, but for goodness sakes, get over it and do something positive with your life instead of acting like a bunch of two year olds.

Blake, thanks for the work you do on the site. Thanks also for looking into fixing something that allows non-conquer club apps to be made. I appreciate the work you do.

It's a game we pay for. So if something goes wrong we tend to fuss about it.

(I know that the add ons are not part of premium, but they are part of the experience)

Well it takes me about an hour to update my touraments with game watch...as I am traveling I dont have time to update...maybe you should check my tournments out...I dont just throw them together I put each game in the tournament so to see it you just click on it!

You do a nice job, rev, that is agreed! However, I also put game links in the tournament thread in all my tournaments. Check this out: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=166461#p3634254 Within each spoiler is a list of all the games in that phase, and I've never needed to use the scripts for it. I just use Game Finder, and copy-and-paste the game numbers in to the thread.

Losing the add-ons sure is a pain in the ass (especially Tour Stats) but it's (we hope) not for very long, and it's certainly possible to get by without them, just a little more inconvenient.

by **Armandolas** on Sat Jun 01, 2013 6:12 pm

Fortunately my game browser is still working almost perfectly.Im really happy about it and i understand what other people feel.
(i think my chatglove chat notice is not working)
But when i change computer (same browser and OS) things are completely mad.Have no idea why.

I dont think people are crying or ranting, they are just showing the frustration of not playing the game how they like. No one has the right to criticize that.

Ill give you my example. If i knew this problems would last for ever, i know i would not be playing CC much longer. Playing with BoB is just the way i like to play.
I just found my self the other day playing Crossword map, and in the deployement phase i just lost interest in playing that weirdo map.

So if i want to cry over it...let me do it.
Just dont come with small talk about...."just play it how it is"....NO...i play it how i enjoy to play.Thats why i play CC.

I just hope things get better, Im pretty sure they are doing every thing they can to solve the problems

same here. takes a bit longer to track tournaments but no big deal, except for 1 which relies on Map Rank to provide proof players are crap at the map each round.

Can't leave ratings. Is this part of this same mess?

PS: I don't get warned when my speed game is up anymore either....

I think it means nothing to most of us. Anyway, i had an issue yesterday that got fixed, but basically no troop at all was appearing on the map, so yeah i can whine about it because it became totally unplayable.
