Board Game Arena

In the last hour I continually had the issue that I had to reload the BGA page on my phone after every action. For example in a dice game I had to reload the page everytime I rolled the dice, then I rolled the dice I wanted to reroll and I had to reload the page again (and so on). The message "Move recorded, waiting for update..." remains visible until I reload the page and even then the message "Application loading..." is still visible.

I do not see any issues on the server page, but do other users have the same experience in the last hour? I also did many turns on my phone 3 - 4 hours ago, then I didn't have any issues. I hope the issue is resolved quickly, because I normally do a lot of turns on Monday.

I still have the same issue despite that the total activity on BGA is 5-10% lower at this time compared to early today. Do more users frequently / always get the "Move Recorded, waiting for update..." message at the moment? I can't even see what I rolled (like in Piraten Kapern or Yahtzee) or can't see which card I took from a pile (like in Ticket To Ride) without reloading the page on my phone.

For now I won't join any new turn based games because I need more time per turn on my phone, especially for dice or card games that I can normally do a quick turn for on my phone.

I just reported the bug. If you have the same issue: please leave a message below that bug report and upvote it for more priority:

I also found two bug reports in French and German that are probably about the same bug. I linked to those bug reports in my (English) bug report.

dude, sometimes the internet just *


somewhere, someone trips over a power cord, a router goes down, and a few websites get laggy as heck.


Don't get me started on Cloudflare or AWS outages....

*Moderator edit: please refrain from swearing on BGA, this is a family-friendly platform.

Exactly.

For the love of god, people, please STOP reporting this as a bug in the game-specific bug form.
These issues are BGA server/database/website browser issues, and have zero to do with the code for a specific game.

It's really tiresome when the 100th person writes a bug report, "I lost Elo because I was kicked from a game, please restore my Elo and Karma."

I have literally never had this happen to me.

I see at least one person downvoted my bug report, but to be clear: I did report it as a General BGA issue (not as a game specific issue). I see that users from The Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland have reported the issue now, but I have no idea how many users in total are impacted by this bug (it still persists on every table after 24 hours).

Usually when this happens with me the issue is on my side, either slow internet or my computer playing up. I really have it on mobile unless it's a site wide issue

so you're now claiming its a regional issue? that's even more proof that it's not something BGA can fix.

I don't know, I am not a programmer. But I noticed that I am not the only user who had this since yesterday. I found a 4th report yesterday. I wonder how long it takes before BGA picks up my bug report (I have time limits in many tournaments) and if I can do something myself? Besides restarting my phone, clearing browser history and trying in private browsing. I don't have a different browser on my phone. And I've never had an issue this big since I started playing on BGA in May 2024.

And why do people downvote my bug report?

Probably because the internet isnt something BGA can fix, anymore than i can expect the car in front of me to fix the traffic.
