Connection Error - Tokyo Dan - 07-05-2012 08:35 AM
I'm really liking this game - more than Hero Academy.
I tried to cancel a game where I've been waiting for more than an hour for my opponent to take his/her turn. But it seems that trying to cancel when it's not your turn results in a connection error followed by the message that you can't cancel because it's not your turn.

Is the game still displaying "Waiting for player ..." or has an opponent been assigned to you?
If it displays "Waiting for player ...", then you should be able to cancel the game without consequences.
If an opponent has been matched, then yes, you can not forfeit when it is not your turn. However, your opponent will automatically forfeit the game after 7 days due to inactivity (I'm not 100% sure on the length, maybe Alex can clarify).
Also keep in mind, that your opponent could live in a totally different time zone than you and it might take a few hours for him/her to finish sleeping.

It doesn't display 'waiting for player'. It shows in the Games screen as "Their turn". So I start the game anyway. In the game I click "Give up". and then a message asks if I really want to give up because it counts as a loss, I tap, yes. It sends the turn, then displays "Connection Error, it's not your turn".
So this effectively keeps me from getting rid of 'dead' games where the opponent never takes his/her turn.

Yes, the game doesn't have to be played it over the course of a few hours, but over days if need be. Don't worry if your opponent doesn't respond too soon, they might be on the other side of the world

no problem, I was just seeing what would happen. I can wait.
RE: Connection Error - knighthalo123 - 07-05-2012 11:16 AM
And if you wait long enough you'll get a win
maybe the first win in the ENTIRE OUTWITTERS HISTORYYYYY
RE: Connection Error - Tokyo Dan - 07-05-2012 11:37 AM
That can't happen because there are already at least two winners - the guys who beat me.
