Fixed on Beta: Reconstruction mode: won't save changes when needing to reload

[Andi47]

Do I assume correctly that the "back to city" button in reconstruction mode is supposed to save all changes done so far, so that I can continue reconstructing afterwards when entering reconstruction mode again?

Seems we need a "save draft" functionality, which "survives" a reload. I just had the following situation:

1.) entered reconstruction mode on my laptop
2.) placed everything into temporary storage via the respective button
3.) started to reconstruct my city (placed some roads, GBs, buildings, ...)
4.) got push message on my mobile phone that my tavern is full.
5.) approximately at the same time as 4.) a timer, which I had set on the "timer" app of my phone was ringing and reminding me to collect/restart Viking production
6.) clicked back to city
7.) clicked the Viking boat

.... neverending loading....

8.) after a minute I decided to reload the game
9.) entered Viking village
10.) collected and restarted Viking production
11.) back to city
12.) emptied my tavern
13.) entered reconstruction mode

--> everything what I did until step 5 was gone; instead I was seeing my whole city as it was before starting reconstruction mode in step 1.

Seems that this functionality won't work at all:

1.) entered reconstruction mode (just for doing a quick test)
2.) clicked button to put all buildings to storage
3.) placed a few roads
4.) back to city
5.) re-entered reconstruction mode

.... neverending loading icon ..... (in the background (grey) I was seeing the whole city as it was before reconstruction)

6.) reload
7.) entered reconstruction mode
8.) my changes have been reverted, I'm seeing the city in the "before reconstruction" state

 

[Andi47]

I just tested again:
1.) entered reconstruction mode
2.) put everything to storage
3.) placed a few roads
4.) back to city
5.) click to Viking village

--> neverending loading
...and I got a " player sat down in my tavern" popping up AFTER step 5 (while seeing the "loading" shield), indicating that at that time I was STILL connected to server. BUT...

6.) reload
7.) entered reconstruction mode

---> every changes are lost. Shouldn't it save in step 4) when the internet connection is still intact??

 

[Andi47]

I did a few tests in the afternoon and just now:

When I use the "put all buildings to temporal storage" button and then place some buildings (no matter if I place the whole city or just two roads) it WILL crash WITHOUT saving when returning to city (and then either back to reconstruction mode or short visit to Vikings). Symptom: game freezes when attempting to save a completely finished reconstruction, game also freezes when storing everything, placing two roads, going back to city and attempting to visit the Vikings. (10/10) (internet connection seems still intact - I got a "player sat down in tavern" popup while the game was frozen with the "loading shield".

I tried one time for a tiny reconstruction: swapping the positions of e.g. a shrine and a blacksmith with the reconstruction mode does work.

so my guess is that there might be a problem with the "put all buildings to storage" button.

so my guess is that there might be a problem with the "put all buildings to storage" button.

Are you able to reproduce this in a different browser?

 

[Andi47]

I will try with firefox or edge tomorrow (only tried with chrome so far)

 

[DeletedUser]

I can confirm too this things.
I wanted to change my city today, after arranging some builds in a draft, I was unable to go back to city, second time It was possible to exit from Reconstruction, but when i want to enter in GE, messages, Vikings, great buildings or battles game neverending loading ...
Edit: No changes in drafts after refreshing the game, everyting goes to normal everytime.

Edit:
Recorded what happened.

Sorry for bad quality, used low output resolution for fast upload on Streamable.

Re-Edit: Same on Brave Browser, IE and Edge, no matter what browser are we using.

In phone app everything works very well.

Tested a few minutes ago (both on HTML5):

a.) on Google Chrome:
1.) enter reconstruction mode
2.) store all
3.) place a few roads
4.) back to city
5.) close building menu
6.) open building menu
7.) enter reconstruction mode

--> neverending loading

b.) on Microsoft edge
a.) on Google Chrome:
1.) enter reconstruction mode
2.) store all
3.) place a few roads
4.) back to city
5.) close building menu
6.) attempt to enter Viking village

--> neverending loading

I don't have other browsers installed at the moment (well, except Chromium, but I guess this would act same as with Chrome)

Draft didn't save all the changes for me too.
1. go to rc mode, remove all buidings
2. redo city (i did everything)
3. click on go back to city (everything should have been saved now)
4. switch over to another tab, eg: your main world
5. after 15-30 mins or so go back to beta tab
6 go back to rc mode, some buildings are missing in your city and you need to add them back

I was able to reproduce this issue multiple times

OS windows 10
browser safari
html mode

@Zarok Dai, Seems I am not the only one who has problems with the reconstruction mode, and it seems the bug happens quite independent of which browser to be used. Seems it can be reported to the developers?

a few hours ago
I tried to use
the reconstruction tool
( 12 hours ago I used it and it was ok )
I wanted to change position
in 5 buildings and in 4watchifire

when I finished the changes
was not possible the loading
I did renewal in f.o.e
the buildings were in the starting position
and I opened the reconstruction menu again
it automatically displays virtual
that the buildings have changed position
I tried to close the reconstruction
but the problem with loading
appeared again

I did renewal of foe
I opened the reconstruction menu

without making changes to buildings
I chose the button '' apply all changes to your city ''
when I opened the reconstruction menu
it worked properly
made changes to the buildings
without to have the problem of loading

πριν από λίγες ώρες
προσπάθησα να το χρησιμοποιήσω
το εργαλείο ανοικοδόμησης
(Πριν από 12 ώρες το χρησιμοποίησα και ήταν εντάξει)
Ήθελα να αλλάξω θέση
σε 5 κτίρια και σε 4 ορόφους

όταν τελείωσα τις αλλαγές
δεν ήταν δυνατή η φόρτωση
Έκανα ανανέωση στον φ.ο.ε
τα κτίρια ήταν στην αρχική θέση
και άνοιξα ξανά το μενού ανακατασκευής
εμφανίζει αυτόματα εικονικά
ότι τα κτίρια έχουν αλλάξει θέση
Προσπάθησα να κλείσω την ανασυγκρότηση
αλλά το πρόβλημα με τη φόρτωση
εμφανίστηκε και πάλι

Έκανα ανανέωση του φ.ο.ε
Άνοιξα το μενού ανακατασκευής
χωρίς να κανω αλλαγές στα κτίρια
Επιλέξα το κουμπί '' εφαρμόζουμε όλες τις αλλαγές στην πόλη σας ''
όταν άνοιξα το μενού ανακατασκευής
λειτούργησε σωστά
πραγματοποίησε αλλαγές στα κτίρια
χωρίς να υπάρχει πρόβλημα φόρτωσης

I am hoping tomorrow's update resolves this, but let's wait and check to be sure.

 

[Andi47]

I can test tomorrow in the evening (around 5:30 p.m. Vienna time) when I come home from work - maybe someone can test this somewhat earlier?

I can test it and report here with no problem.

 

[DeletedUser]

Again, problem still exists after today update.
I can not use Reconstruction ...

 

[Andi47]

NOT fixed:

1.) I entered the reconstruction mode a minute ago, and had:

• three buildings in my inventory, which I newly built yesterday (two Blacksmiths and a Glider Hieve)
• a few Victory Towers (VT) and Watchfires (WF) have been placed to the state BEFORE I "slide-puzzled"*) them to a new location yesterday
• empty spaces as they were before I built the blacksmiths and the glider hieve yesterday

2.) place the blacksmiths to their intended spot
3.) moved the VTs and WFs mentioned above to new locations
4.) place the glider hieve
5.) clicked "apply to city"

--> neverending loading

6.) reload
7.) entered reconstruction mode
--> blacksmiths and glider hieve are in temp. storage again.

HOW COME these buildings are in the temp. storage anyway? yesterday I NEWLY built them, and I never moved them afterwards, neither in reconstruction mode, nor by "sliding puzzling"

*) moved them without entering reconstruction mode

 

[Andi47]

@Zarok Dai are the developers aware that the bug(s) are NOT fixed?

 

[DeletedUser]

Actually the other fix did work, it just didn't affect this. We're still looking at it.

 

[DeletedUser]

It s fixed, thanks devs

Edit: after arranging all buildings I can't apply changes ...

 

[1BFA]

#9 still not fixed.
