If time runs out and the table has an error

Post by Sonnenköpfchen »

Hello,
What happens if the table doesn't work in a beta game due to an error? Two game tables aren't working. It has also been reported. The time will eventually run out.
Is it better to give up on the tables or the game?

I have never exceeded a cooling-off period and am now being penalized even though I have done nothing wrong. I have now asked to abandon the game. I don't know if the error can be traced then. I can't change it.

When you join a beta game, there is (or should be) a warning like this:

"This game is a BETA version. By playing it, you may encounter some bugs or instability: in some cases, it could affect your reputation. If you find that unacceptable, you can play in Friendly Mode. Please report any issue in the bug management system."

Ask to abandon the game if it gets stuck. Write in the chat what has happened so your opponents understand. Or you can concede if possible (only 2-player games at >= 50% progression).
It should hopefully not make the error more difficult for the developer to find either way.

You can help the developer by reporting the bug, unless already filed. If it is, upvote the report describing your problem. If you have your notification settings set such, you will get an email if the bug gets updated (e.g. fixed).

Yes, that's what I did. Both games are over. Thank you.

I'll do that. Thank you.
