Somebody must have spent time developing and designing the new format and layout ... why? Nobody asked for this. I have never seen a single player mention that the design layout needed to change.

From what I heard, BGA management wanted to 'modernize' their public domain game UIs. This is not done by user request.

If true, they did the exact opposite. The new design and functionality is reminiscent of playing cards on dial-up internet back in 2001.

Just to say that I agree with most of the other players: This new design is awfull! It's a violation of my eyes!!!

It's so much slower!!

If bga is not going back to the old look of Hearts, I'll definitive stop playing this game!

2 weeks later and nothing changed, no more hearts for me. But what am I supposed to do with all my free time?

We did the same complain when they changed French Tarot, and they ignored us the same way. They wont even tell us WHY they dont want to roll back. They must have a pretty good damn reason when all players say they dont like it...
I stopped playing both games because it's no fun anymore, just annoyingly slow and painful.

Soon there wont be any card game enjoyable on BGA, maybe that's the goal, get ride of card games....

Right top the three bars menu....."handhold" (or something similar) -> choose "flat"
changes to old interface.

No it doesnt bring back the old interface, it just lays the cards flat, with the same slow boring animations and useless bubble names

Hey guys, can anyone tell me if they reverted this new slow horrible game layout or not? I don't want to start or join a game to check it as I would have to painly go through it. Thanks a lot
