I upgraded as well. Unable to tell anything about changes since now my base is all invisible except for my avatar and my command centre. All other buildings/decorations are invisible except for the circle that indicates building level. I can interact with buildings but they are just not visible. Tried to travel to a map, game hanged. Never had this before. Seems like a bad update.

I just upgraded also to 1.3.1. Seems like most of the lag is gone and I can see all buildings normally.

Did they include the pvp revamp?

I can still see my buildings, but for about ten seconds after I upgraded many of them were invisible. The same thing happened for about two seconds on every map I visited for the first time after the upgrade. Lag is still there, but not initially, oddly enough. I only started getting lag after I did one trial PvP attack. The lag started when I got to my adversary's base, and then transferred over to my PvE maps. By the way, the casualties bug is still there. The one PvP attack I tried out against an adversary with about 20% of my alliance attack score in defense netted me 4 casualties, three of them mid-priced units and only one of them a meat shield, even though I have the infirmary (at level 1). One other thing I have noticed is that there is a slight lag when I click on the buttons in the menu screen (no more than a fraction of a second, but still noticeable). That's about it. I still don't have the new icons for the infantry units, so go figure.

No, not that I can tell.

Missions dont lag if you are playing offline. Tried this when i was out of the house a few times and they run at full speed.

I dont see this update in the app store. Im still on 1.3.

You can get rid of the lag by switching to another app and then back to MW. Just happened to notice that after switching back to MW after posting here.

Hopefully you just misread it the first time around...

Nope! The base area upgrade was at the same time and it finished properly. Sent in a trouble report.

It doesn't appear in the App Store updates. You have to seach for "Modern War" and you'll see v1.3.1 with the "install" option.. that's how i did the update...

Only difference i'd noticed is couple of Air and Ground units were unlocked without the requirement to upgrade corresponding buildings to certain level...


Here u go 🍻
So hw did it go? Wht's new?

Which ones? I've already upgraded my airbase and war factory considerably, so most units are unlocked anyway, but I'm curious.

since now my base is all invisible

Saweet! Stealth mode! Great feature! does it require a new boost building for radar jamming?

Sea scout is actually 110K. Military Ambulance sells for 84K and gives the same total stat, but 18 defence instead of 17. So really, they are better, unless you like the strong against sea bonus that the scouts have.

I just prefer the casualty rate, and i didnt up groud factory coz i aim sea and infrantry that's the reason why :)

Noticed that all the shadows of the buildings are more obvious now. Probably why all the buildings were invisible for a minute or so and had to load. They all got a new look/feature.

Both units have a "Low" casualty rate. Only difference is the price, type of unit and the "strong against".

K guy, i dont mind coz i'll never upgrade ground factory.

And with sea bonus, i'll prefer that...

But ur right, and i didnt lock this unit.

Does anyone really know what has changed in 1.3.1??? Did you notice your stats change any that may indicate unit value changes or logic change? I didn't even know it was out since it doesn't show on the app updates and you have to search for it.

I may wait for my current upgrade to finish, document everything and upgrade to see.

My stats stayed the same, for what that is worth.

The Global Hawk Drone is pretty close at 15 def 4 att for $75k. It has a medium casualty rate and strong against air.

Cool. Now that I'm thinking, the PvP changed not due to a game update, but something on the server side end. It just seemed to change for everyone out of the blue the way I remember. It could be likely that the update is just a bug fix for slowness, etc. I may bite too later this evening.

Did take a few seconds to update to all the new structures, so they appeared to be missing. If you're on cell service and not wifi, that may take a bit to occur an look like all your buildings are missing. After they downloaded, though, the lag was noticeably better than it ever has been. Everything else seemed the same on iPhone 4s.

After I upgraded to 1.3.1, I noticed that Funzio added minimum level for unlocking unit buildings in an attempt stop campers from having an extreme advantage over others

Elite Training Facility: Level 20? I unlocked that already
Robotics Facility: Level 30
Advanced Airbase: Level 40
Dry Docks: I believe it's Level 50

Casualty losses still appear, and app occasionally crashes when attacking rivals

had Eagle Fighter Jet unlocked (needs air base level 5 and mine need 19 more hrs to complete); also Military Ambulance when the War Factory is not upgraded yet.
