Time control irregularity in Hex, tried to report the bug
Posted: 13 February 2016, 16:55
I tried to submit this as a bug, but I got a red bar across the screen "Unexpected error, hidden for security reasons."
Whether I choose fast, medium, or slow real time controls, during the game the display says "5 min plus 24895 days increment" or some other huge absurd value. What this actually means is, the time is reset to 5 min after each move, so the time control is just 5 min per move, not per game. I use Firefox 44.0.1 for Linux Mint, which uses Ubuntu repositories. I play exclusively Hex here.
Firstly, this cannot be the intended time control. Please investigate and fix this.
Secondly, please improve the choices available when selecting a time control before the game starts. Personally, I would like to choose exactly how much time there will be for the entire game and precisely how much increment per move. Failing that, please SHOW US what "slow" "medium" and "fast" real time controls mean in minutes and seconds BEFORE we choose one.
Thanks for your time and trouble.
