Attention, generals!
Today’s update implements a supply drop timer icon and info popups for generals that play on the mobile app in the game. The timer will appear as soon as a supply drop is available to you on the map, while an info popup will provide information on its exact location. Should you conquer it, another info popup will reveal the contents of the supply drop to you.
We also fixed various bugs this week. One of which happens to be the handy lasso tool, that allows you to easily select multiple units on a map. On some maps the lasso was, although functioning, not visible to players. Luckily this is a thing of the past now, and the tool is displayed correctly on all maps again.
To learn what else was updated and fixed today, please check the list below for a complete overview on all changes:
General:
- When hitting the back button on your mobile device while inside a game round or on the overview screen a popup will open that lets you exit the app.
- All Call of War Classic game rounds that were still running have been ended and Classic games have been removed as an option when creating a game round.
- A supply drop timer icon is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen on mobile devices now, should a supply drop be available on the map.
- An info popup now informs you on mobile devices, when a supply drop is available in a province.
- Another info popup was added in the app, that informs you about the contents of a supply drop once you secured it.
- Players on desktop can now test an early development version of the new beta client.
- The beta client allows for faster and easier implementation of improvements, functions and display options that are not feasible with the current client once fully fleshed out.
- Please note that this is an early beta stage of the client and that aspects, features, functionalities, and appearance might change with future updates.
- You find a button to switch to the new beta client in the account settings. Once switched, closing the tab and reopening it will open the last chosen setting. To switch back to the old client, re-visit the account settings in the new beta client.
Bug fixes:
- An issue was resolved that prevented the lasso tool, which allows for the selection of multiple units at once, to be displayed on certain maps.
- A bug was resolved that caused the user interface to become unresponsive, when the forgotten password popup was closed on desktop.
- The autocompletion of usernames in the name dropdown menu when writing a message is working correctly again.
- An issue in the mobile app was resolved that caused the link to the Call of War Wiki on the Country Chooser in some game rounds to open a blank page. When clicking the link, the Wiki is opened correctly now.
- A bug on desktop was fixed, that caused airplanes in convoy mode to display the speed value of the airplane mode in the army bar. Airplanes in convoy mode now display the speed value of the convoy in the army bar.
- An issue on mobile was resolved that caused submarines to be displayed on top of certain units.
- A bug was fixed that prevented the input in the password field to be hidden by **** when trying to change the password in the account settings.
We hope you like the new supply drop time on mobile, and that the bug fixes help you to be victorious in all the battles to come.
