Stuck on Name Screen

Postby noveiia » Fri Jun 28, 2019 11:32 pm

I was playing VIP mode and it froze on name screen yet I could still see chat except for colours such as dead chat being gray. I also couldn’t see any whispers, night results, and voting/lynch results. Here’s a screenshot: https://i.postimg.cc/VNHL50hY/4-C573-C8 ... -C75-D.png

Do you have any further information for me? Like device, OS, Mobile Client version, connection type (mobile data, Wifi) and the fruequency of this occurring?

Alright thanks for the info. It somehow seems that the game was not properly loaded, yet why this is the case, is for me atm unknown.

This has actually happened to me today just a few minutes ago. Here's some of the information that I have on this bug: I switched apps while waiting in the lobby so I could check a notification. I guess the lobby was filled sooner than expected, and by the time I got back, the game had already started without me (or unknowingly *with* me). Once I switched back to Town of Salem, I could only see the "Select Name" screen along with chats at the bottom left showing people already playing the game. My guess is that the background app (Town of Salem) wasn't being refreshed while I was using the other app.
Platform(iOS or Android): iOS
Platform Version: 12.3.1
Device: iPhone 7
App version: 3.0.23

UPDATE: I managed to reproduce this by doing the same thing as before. I switched apps while in the lobby waiting for people to join; the game started sooner than expected and I was stuck on the name screen. I don't know how to send screenshots (I'm replying on mobile), but I have one screenshot from the first time this happened and one screenshot from the second time it happened.

You could upload your screenshot to an image hostign site and link them here afterwards.

I have had this problem too. It is really weird and happens when I am not fully in the app while name picking is in progress.

Then I suggest to not move the app into the background when playing with it. It can happen that an app behaves differently when backgrounding.
Thank you for your report, though.
