Surge in data usage!

[FromAfar]

has anyone else noticed a surge in the data usage for modern war in the last 2 months or so?

I mean A LOT!

it seems a simple / quick check is upwards of 50m

for those folks with um-limited data plans, some are getting killed!

gree, do you do analysis of the usage? can you provide any stats of what an active player, say 10x logins daily, some scouting, hitting, checking buildings, and such may look like for usage on a player with a fair sized army. 10k units, all standard buildings and almost all of the limiteds.

thanks for the info.

[GrimAmoeba]

Yes had to upgrade my plan this month, didn't know what was causing it. No change of usage on my side

[Sigg]

Really good observation. I've had the same surge. Hella expensive for those of us without unlimited data.

[2000y2k]

Looks like another reason.

[Badvock]

I have also had to upgrade my data plan from 2gig a month to 3gig a month and seem to be hitting that limit as well. I haven't really changed what I use my phone for so I would like to know if the developers have changed the data requirements for this game.

though I have changed from Palringo to Groupme for coms, can anyone else tell me know if Groupme is more data hungry?

[EBpizzaking]

Huge growth in usage

Full Assault seemed to be the main contributor

[pick_sax]

Our group uses neither pal or gm. And their usage is through the roof.

[cOsMiC-tRiGgEr]

Wow... Good observation man. Glad you made this post. As I've been charged $30 this month for 2 extra gigs. Didn't know why.

[Apollo13]

Wow! This is new angle that no one saw it before. Good on you FromAFar.

[RealLoads]

I have noticed it aswell. If you don't already have unlimited data and don't want to pay for it, a good option is to switch to T-Mobile if you have it in your area. When I go over my 2gigs I don't get charged they just slow down the connection. The slowed connection is still able to play MW though

[cfaucett1977]

I have noticed this as well but did not know what was causing it, good observation. After checking MW is using 2 to 3 times more data than previous months. And the last few months I have been playing less at work because I need to focus on work more. It could be FA and also the push notifications.


Gree we need this addressed

[Mcdoc]

2 gigs ? Wow - you guys got off cheap - I have a 30 gig plan and had to bump up to 50 gig - but then again - I have a 20 y/o daughter who texts / Facebook / Pinterest / Instagram like every 13 seconds :/

[Thumpr]

I too got hit. GREE closed my ticket saying all is fine. A very wise and intelligent person taught me how to check the data usage on my iPad. 1. Shut off cellular. 2. Close all apps. 3. Reset usage calculator. 4. Turn on cellular and use a single app for a set period of time. 5. Review.

Did this for MW. I collected cash, raided single map target, posted note in chat, then left ipad in sleep mode. Had a stop watch going and at 10 minutes, reviewed. 100mb!!!! Only MW running. I replied to my ticket with this. No response.

[TheDanimal]

Thank God for being grandfathered in on old school unlimited plans :D

...I wonder if their efforts at fixing certain *ahem* energy issues have consequently increased data usage

[manbeast]

Ever since I upgraded to iphone 5S (from 4s), my data usage has doubled... and it is all due to "DNS Services"

I reset my stats 48 hours ago, since then it says I have used a total of 918 MB and 829 MB of it was DNS Services, MW as 56 mb... I have barely been on my phone at all (without wifi) in that period.. makes no sense to me..

Before I reset it the other day my total data said 12.7 gigs and 8.2 of it was dns services.. crazy!!!

[Maz]

...I wonder if their efforts at fixing certain *ahem* energy issues have consequently increased data usage

^^^^ this.

Seems all the checks and balances and glitch fixes are actually at the cost of everyone of us. Was this truly the only way to resolve those issues? Making data outrageous and sneaking charges on members/players as a side effect?

[I am a cow!]

suck my non existent balls I have unlimited wifi and unlimited data so =D i can do anything on it pretty much

[1brent1]

I too have been getting nailed with usage overages in the past two months. This is the first time going over data usage since playing MW 4 years ago, something was definitely changed.

I would like to hear from Gree on this please?

[FromAfar]

typical gree fashion. crickets!

some time ago, someone posed the theory: aside from gold, how is gree making money? and answered with, by getting a kickback on usage fees from the wireless carriers.

hmmmm looks like that may have been spot on.

[andrew3wt]

Something has changed with MW, just noticed my usage has gone to 1 gig per day! and haven't changed anything.

[CthulhuR]

Its definitely because of their attempt to stop the glitches, that the app now connects to the servers all the time.
I'm lucky my game is on my iPad with wifi only or this would have been very expensive game now - besides the gold purchases..

[kguittar]

i've also doubled my usage in the past 2 months. Had no clue why it went up since my cell phone use was the same. Great observation.
Does anyone know if I just force close MW through the multitasking screen, will it help with the data usage while i'm not actively using the app?

[Blade of 3]

If you just check for collecting buildings there should be no problem. Going to other's bases will ride up in the 100's of MB's. Make sure it's MW and not other apps. I try to avoid groupme when I can because it sucks up data, especially with pictures and now gifs and what not. Also turn off auto updating.

[Thumpr]

Kguitar & Blade of 3: when Verizon pinged me to say my usage was near maxed, that was on the 12th and my usage was 1.76 gb in 2.5hrs.....with the ipad closed, in my bag, not on since i left the house on wifi. So it did that to me in sleep mode.

[DUSlider1]

I went on a raiding spree to test this out. I reset all counters and turned my wifi off to use my data plan. This game was literally using 1Mb/min. This is the same as Pandora would use streaming music. This is insane...

[Thumpr]

only 1mb a min? iOS? Besides the 10 minute test I mentioned previously, I first did a cash collect, raid one map target for single hit and posted comment, turned off cellular and checked and had used either 30 or 50mb in 1.5 minutes. Did the same thing with my 5S and had 10mb in one minute.

Would really like a mod or developer to chime in here...as well as respond to my ticket.

[DUSlider1]

Correction, 1MB. Still too much. Spend an hour a day using cellular for this game, that approaches 2GB a month... Just for one app.

[Badvock]

This looks like its turning out to be another nail in MW's coffin. First it gears up to only be played by whales and now is blowing out peoples data plans to just play for free. I hate to say it, but if things continue, we may as well burry the game now. It has even dropped to 56th place on the money earnings list when earlier this year it was around 9th.

I think if Gree's managing director can't see his idea of only catering to whales is killing this game. There is no more hope at all. Even for their other products.

[Turkey Bacon]

My data has surged only for the fact that our faction created a NSFW room and the amount of porn posted is insane.....if anyone wants to join let us know!! Pigz of war would love to have you depraved people join us!

[Speed ump]

I'm suprised that more of you don't have wifi at work or home.

[Badvock]

I have wifi at home, but works, well it just doesn't. Also, I play the most when I'm at work, less kids demanding my attention :) Just have to hide in the toilet a lot. Apparently I have a bowl disorder :)

[Mastert55!]

I swapped over to Magic Jack, Only $1.99 a month. THEY HAVE GREAT SERVICE FOR ONLY $1.99 A MONTH!!!!!!!!!!

[1brent1]

only 1mb a min? iOS? Besides the 10 minute test I mentioned previously, I first did a cash collect, raid one map target for single hit and posted comment, turned off cellular and checked and had used either 30 or 50mb in 1.5 minutes. Did the same thing with my 5S and had 10mb in one minute.

Me too,
--Attention Gree Customer Support--
Please reply to this thread so we know what's going on and can stop assuming. It's costing a lot of us extra money each month in surprised data overages which is frustrating. For future reference it would of been reasonable to let us know of these changes ahead of time. It would of only required 5mins of your time to post a message.
It would also be very helpful to know what we should try to avoid doing thats more data intensive while having to play on our cellulars 3g & 4g network.

Thank you very much.

[Thumpr]

I'm suprised that more of you don't have wifi at work or home.
Home yes, work, no. Security.

Thank you very much.progress. My ticket, which was originally closed right away, 'has been escalated to a Modern War specialist.' Well....who in hades was looking at it in the first place? At least not automatically closed again.

[pick_sax]

do you really want to know? :)

[Thumpr]

A new record! Cash collect, hit 1 map target twice ( dang, just realized I didn't vault the cash). Stop watch said 57 seconds from start to finish....12.9 mb used!

[Stumps]

12.9mb, Wow! Glad I'm not the only one, i maxed my data use in 13 days. I originally blamed my carrier and thought they changed the data plan.

[Jerle]

Whoa - that is a LOT of data, and I'm not immediately aware of any changes that we'd expect to bump data usage up. We're going to check this out.

[Thumpr]

Thank you Jerie. I and my over data fees appreciate this. Please let us know as soon as you can as we are having to deactivate and activate cellular to use our devices...which isn't very user friendly.

[Stumps]

Whoa - that is a LOT of data, and I'm not immediately aware of any changes that we'd expect to bump data usage up. We're going to check this out.

Thx Jerle. Appreciate you looking into this.

[Big Red - Nomad]

This is getting insane. I used a gig of data in the last 7 days just on mw. Honestly this is a much bigger issue than hackers. Hope it gets addressed immediately.

[own]

My data plan just reset on the 25th and I've already used 2.7gigs!! Wtf. If this doesn't get fixed ASAP I'm done with this game, as I won't be able to afford it. I don't have wifi as I travel a lot so cellular was the only way to play. I've played for well over two years and have never had an issue.

[SirOMalley XHH]

Noticed roughly the same usage as last user that posted (own). Have played 2+ years without a problem. However with ridiculous energy requirements, more event than ever, no breaks in the action it seems as though the data usage could be the last straw for me. Gree's lack of self-awareness is astounding

[Stumps]

I ran a check today (through data log) and the MW app uses 1mb every 2-3 secs.

Any update Jerle.

[Calimerow]

Me to, pretty much done with the game :(

[Thumpr]

MODS: is there any fix in sight?

[Kiko Matsing]

I just looked at my data consumption and i only consumed 30mb atm, my phone only have 100mb allowed daily and MW is not eating up much data,. Maybe a US problem?

[bababurakk]

only wd times, always use with gm and 750 mb min.

[NexusImperium]

Hey Guys,

My MW data usage for this month is currently at 542MB - this doesn't include data across the Wi-Fi network. It's far and above my next app. I'm mostly a turtle in this game - I just log in to collect 12/24/48 buildings and participate in faction events.

[Ghost-12]

First time in 6 years that i go over my data Usage! Not a happy camper...

[Stumps]

Whoa - that is a LOT of data, and I'm not immediately aware of any changes that we'd expect to bump data usage up. We're going to check this out.

Will you be updating us at all? It has been 4 days.

[Thumpr]

No seriously... we really need an update here mods....this isnt the usual whiny issue like, 'Ghost keeps raiding my base with stuff he obviously hacked and GREE stinks and loves SUP'.

This is more like the...the freaking app has gone wild....can't afford to keep Modern War on my device anymore.....stop playing altogether type of issue. It's killing my data usage even if I'm not playing it and the iPad is in sleep mode. I can choose to or not to buy gold with you, but this is costing me money without my consent.

What is going on???

[Tournai]

I have noticed it aswell. If you don't already have unlimited data and don't want to pay for it, a good option is to switch to T-Mobile if you have it in your area. When I go over my 2gigs I don't get charged they just slow down the connection. The slowed connection is still able to play MW though

Good luck with Raiding then or loading new NPC's! I have 1500 MB a month in the first week its Used! 64KB connection won't do! MW works with it, But KA NEVER DID.
A reset will cost me 5 Euro, and I need 2 resets now a days with T-Mobile. I do use a hotspot from my phone to play with 2 other MW accounts! so obvious I Use more data.

I am looking for a Provider that will give me less Minutes to call, but more data a month! to start with 4GB a month

instead of 220 Minutes and only 1,5GB data! Who knows a good Sim-only provider with this?

Prefer Europian Sim-card!

[sstuutss]

Hows them crickets? Its not even the weekend.

[buster67]

I warned my faction mates about this a week ago. I now have a bill for 18G of data. I spend a little bit of money on this game from time to time , that is when I choose to. I certainly don't need a bill like that one again for a stupid phone game. I don't ever remember getting data usage surcharge like that even when I download movies or music etc.

Seriously mods can we get a definitive answer on this please. ...and don't fob us off as we are able to see which apps are using bandwidth and I can assure you its is modern war. .......

Thanks in anticipation

[xxxfff]

bump. A real issue... my carrier is threatening to boot me off my (grandfathered unlimited data) plan or slow my data speeds down b/c MW.

[Richard79]

Gree do we have an update for this issue????

[Cromagnon]

Does turning off "PARTICLE EFFECTS" and "PARALLAX FX" make a difference? I'm lucky to be in a wifi area most of the time. (1.9 GB cell data since 5/4)

[GrimAmoeba]

Does turning off "PARTICLE EFFECTS" and "PARALLAX FX" make a difference? I'm lucky to be in a wifi area most of the time. (1.9 GB cell data since 5/4)

Mine are never on yet I'm using huge amounts of data. Good idea but don't think is issue

[Cromagnon]

Mine are never on yet I'm using huge amounts of data. Good idea but don't think is issue
Mine's off too, never figured what they did. I use a data tracker app and it says I've used 13 GB of wifi data through my phone (don't watch movies or play many other games) so I'm guessing its mostly MW.

[DUSlider1]

If you go into Cellular settings in iOS, each app is listed individually as far as how much data has been used.

Modern War for me continues to use as much as if I was streaming Pandora. Which IMHO is way too much. Though it hasn't been as much as some others.

[CJ54]

Hey guys, here is what we need: send a ticket to Support through the normal system, attach a screenshot showing your data usage for the app (specifically for MW). We need some hard numbers for this one.

[sstuutss]

lol that took 9 days and 7 pages?

[Thumpr]

CJ..sent. Just reset my counters yesterday to see if it was still doing it so not as high as the numbers have been....but out of 165mb of data used, 162 of it was all y'all.

[Rexhom]

Hey guys, here is what we need: send a ticket to Support through the normal system, attach a screenshot showing your data usage for the app (specifically for MW). We need some hard numbers for this one.

You couldn't perhaps turn on an ipad and try it for yourself?

[pick_sax]

Rex, what ails you? Using logic on gree! Shame on you. ;)

Gree,

How big are the data sets? When you load and remove load casts of characters, how big does that get?

The guys are reporting going over for about two months. What kind of extra chatter was put in to keep the client/server in synch? That wasn't there before?

And as Rex said, can you have you're guys try this? And run a monitor package? When loading data sets? Nod sets? During WD? FA? Raid boss events? Etc.

That would seem to make sense.


You couldn't perhaps turn on an ipad and try it for yourself?

[TheBFO]

As usual- send a ticket.

Nothing will get done, nothing will change. Period.

[Richard79]

Done, but really are your ppl that bad at there job?

[ju100]

Done, but really are your ppl that bad at there job?


Don't know, maybe they don't get paid if they try to solve a problem without a ticket number.
I don't think they get paid solving bugs though, just paid trying

[Gherik]

I cleared my data statistics (Modern War was listed at over 7GB!) and then tracked data usage for a bit.

I raided people for about 10 minutes, closed the app, checked the data usage, and Modern War already used 8MB of data. That seems like a lot for such a short period of time, obviously at that rate it will use a ton of data over time if you use the app throughout the day.

I'm not sure why the devs can't do something similar to identify the activities that seem to result in the most data usage and then take a closer look at why.

There was a similar issue with one of their other games, Beyond the Dead, a while back, and they seemed to resolve it, perhaps this issue is similar.

[GreenwichKid]

Ever since I upgraded to iphone 5S (from 4s), my data usage has doubled... and it is all due to "DNS Services"

I reset my stats 48 hours ago, since then it says I have used a total of 918 MB and 829 MB of it was DNS Services, MW as 56 mb... I have barely been on my phone at all (without wifi) in that period.. makes no sense to me..

Before I reset it the other day my total data said 12.7 gigs and 8.2 of it was dns services.. crazy!!!

Dude I run a mail server that sends over 1/2 mill emails per day it doesn't use 8.2Gb for DNS. You've got something seriously wrong there. manually add your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 208.67.222.222. That's googles DNS and OPENDNS

[Thumpr]

Mods......? Anything? Do you need more screen shots? What's the story?

[Jesse21]

I have used 9 gigs this month. I can't do it anymore. Can't play over 3G till it's resolved. Wifi only for me

[pick_sax]

Just crickets!


Mods......? Anything? Do you need more screen shots? What's the story?

[Sandhawk]

I just retired all of my MW characters because you can't get your act together concerning this data black hole. No point in trying to come back due to out of control stat inflation. You just efficiently killed another gree title for me. Pretty sure I won't be the only one.

[Jesse21]

Yeah I can't play on 3G, and if I can't play I can't keep up.

[miaomiao]

Same here, my data usage increased a lot recently. Someone pls check on it........

[Thumpr]

Doesn't Apple have standards for how an app is supposed to impact the device and the user? Do we lodge complaints with Apple since we aren't getting any resolution here?

[Stumps]

Whoa - that is a LOT of data, and I'm not immediately aware of any changes that we'd expect to bump data usage up. We're going to check this out.

So once again, when gree says "we'll check this out" or "we're working on it", it really means- this is going in the too hard bin and if we ignore them, they might go away.

Come on Jerle, where is your update!

[Champion24]

I.m a Cc player and I.ve e.mailed google support an hour ago about this.
They replied 15 minutes ago and said they will investigate the problem.
I suggest everyone here do the same.

[pissed]

I have sold everything on all 3 of my characters, donated to my fac, and deleted the game, as 20 of our other members have done because of this issue. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. We also did the same in KA and CC. Adios Greedy. Enjoy the bottom of the revenue stream where you belong.

[SirOMalley XHH]

Gree before more players disappear any response on this front? One with a specific conclusion as opposed to 'Send a ticket in' will probably be better received.

[Thumpr]

Seriously? Nothing from GREE or the Mods? Jacked up.

[DUSlider1]

Submitted ticket. Almost 500MB in 72hours...

[CTRC(SW) UMBRA]

I submitted a ticket, but all I got was this message:

http://www.funzio.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=6285&d=1401592071

Current data usage 1.1 GB - 5 hours, 0 Minutes

[Stumps]

Holy smokes! That is some serious data usage.

Ive already retired one acct due to the data issue.

[Thumpr]

And still nothing from the mods...

[SirOMalley XHH]

Please submit tickets aka we need to buy ourselves some time to see how much we can wring this out while we play tiddlywinks. I think when Gree addressed the iOS issue they overlooked this. Death by a thousand paper cuts such is the destiny of MW

[Thumpr]

CJ, Tardavic...anyone? I've never been one to rag on the game, the developers or the mods.....but this really is inexcusable. This freaking game is hijacking our devices, running up our bills, all due to your code. And you don't even have the decency to come back and say, 'hey...we're working on it. We hope to have it fixed by X'. Hell, you don't even have the decency to just tell us to frak off.....oh wait. You are. Just not to our faces.

[Gbrown]

Gree this needs to be top of your list to fix!!!!!

[Jesse21]

It is simply amazing. Any they wonder why there are so many refunds

[Richard79]

Mods plz reply with an update!!!!!! Half my faction can not play.....sorry will not play mw on data until this is fixed!!! Some are 10gig over there allowence wtf are you at gree playin at?????

[SirOMalley XHH]

Gree,

Avoiding or ignoring the situation won't make it go away. Would you please grace us with your response...and I don't know...possibly a solution?

[FrostedHate]

Traveling today and on my layover I logged into mw for about 1 minute to collect buildings 29mb data used. Logged into ka for same amount of time to collect building as well. 18m of data used. 2 minutes almost 50 mega of data. Will be sending a ticket later when I am on wifi again.

Spent about 5 minutes in CC and it used 85m of data. Maybe not limited to MW?

[CJ54]

Hey guys, we're still looking into this one actively right now. There isn't a clear culprit, so it is taking some time.

[Richard79]

Hey guys, we're still looking into this one actively right now. There isn't a clear culprit, so it is taking some time.

Ty CJ for the update

[MaverickMunkey]

Hey guys, we're still looking into this one actively right now. There isn't a clear culprit, so it is taking some time.

CJ,

Please can you also investigate Kingdom Age as that app is also hitting the data usage badly. If you find the issue with Modern War can you double check the same feature in Kingdom Age?

Appreciated.

["Spock"]

Gree this is outrageous, just checked my iPhones app data usage for MW and it shows 3.2gb in the last 15days, get this fixed now, I've informed Apple of this also.

[MaverickMunkey]

CJ/Admin -

Have you looked into this yet?

Any answers or fix in the pipeline?

[Lys]

Hey guys, we're still looking into this one actively right now. There isn't a clear culprit, so it is taking some time.
KA player, but saw the issue. Maybe, y'know, some of those anti-cheating measures you put in places that forces the device to check in with your servers every five seconds? That just might be the issue, or part of it?

[Thumpr]

Still seeing the data usage...still having to shut cellular off before and after every use. Getting REALLY old.

[Merc_mw]

I have stopped playing unless on wifi.

[Jesse21]

I have stopped playing unless on wifi.

Same here I can't afford it.

[Scot]

Mine seems to be fixed now, anybody else? Pretty sure we have to rely on each other to spread factual information here, nobody from Gree does or can (they haven't got a clue what the factual information is)

[Thumpr]

I tested it yesterday on ipad, it still seemed to use a lot of data. Didn't notice if Lore was used.

[Gen CheeBye]

I'm 70% on WiFi past 3 weeks except RB event...and the additional data went up by 1.8GB! WTF Gree?

[Tiz]

I burned through my 2GB data plan in 14 days....thanks gree

[First Class]

Same here...burned more than 3GB in the last 14 days! GREE - please fix it, please!

[sstuutss]

Churp churp

[Thumpr]

Still going on. Minute and a half and 16mb. Cash collection and three hits on individual goal target.

[Archer59]

I had to turn off my cellular data. What's strange is that my wife has the same phone, bought at the same time and her data usage hasn't increased at all and she is on the game more than myself.

[Tadaaah]

Hello all,

As stated previously in this thread, a tentative fix will be coming in 4.2. Please remain patient just a little longer. Thanks.

[Merc_mw]

Hello all,

As stated previously in this thread, a tentative fix will be coming in 4.2. Please remain patient just a little longer. Thanks.

Thanks for this. If it helps accelerate the process, you may pass on
1.That the money being spent on data plans may no longer be available for gold.
2. That folks that have gone wifi only are further away from completing events and less likely to spend gold.

So this programming err is likely directly impacting profitability.

[Richard79]

Hello all,

As stated previously in this thread, a tentative fix will be coming in 4.2. Please remain patient just a little longer. Thanks.

Theres alot your fixin in this 4.2 but when are we going to see this??????? The data usage issue needs fixing now not in in the up comming update......now......your customers NEED this now not in a weeks time or a months time NOW

[Blodiea]

I just updated on Android and it's version 4.1.3 so are you holding off on our version 4.2. Until the ios update is released?

[Thumpr]

Hello all,

As stated previously in this thread, a tentative fix will be coming in 4.2. Please remain patient just a little longer. Thanks.
Hi Tadaaah....welcome. Thank you for letting us know a fix for this issue will be 4.2. But to be clear, your comment was the first to mention a fix in that release. There have been other threads where the 4.2 release would fix upgrade costs, but that's the first one about the data use issue. The last Mod comment came from CJ on 6/2 @ 3:04pm which just said that y'all didn't know what the culprit was.

Regarding being patient....you do realize that this issue is hijacking our devices, right? Luckily this incident occurred at the end of my billing cycle in May so I've been able to limit the impact of it by turning cellular on and off so I was only hit with three overage fees by my carrier for going over the data plan by 3x. However, I got pulled into a meeting for 30 minutes and wasn't able to shut cellular off and used up over 500mb of data. Poof.

Patience is in very short supply. If I spend money on gold and use it trying to get that impossible last unit on individual goal for raid boss.....that's my issue and choice. I decide to collect cash from my base and the data usage is so much that it costs me overage fees....well...that is a bit unreasonable. Not being able to pick up my mobile device to check mail or post a picture on Facebook of a kitten with some poorly worded phrasing, but I first have to make sure the MW app is closed and then turn data on, wait for it to sync, use said app (because I think everyone needs to see how clever I can be with kitten pictures) and then kill cellular again bc I don't trust your app isn't still drawing data....unreasonable.

So forgive us our frustrations and our snarky comments. This has gone on long enough with very little feedback. Now, if you need me, I'll be at the pawn shop selling the previously mentioned kitten so as to pay for the data fees.

[Thumpr]

We are at D+1 now. 8 more days and I'll have been dealing with this for a full month. Anymore info on when the 4.2 fix will be out?

[Jesse21]

Any info whatsoever? We are looking into it, is not info.

[borov]

Imagine if the game pinged the game servers every like 5 seconds trying to sync up. Would that cause the extreme data usage?

[Jesse21]

I have no idea, the fact is I don't need to know. I just want to play the game without having to figure these things out.

[Stumps]

Let me me make it nice and simple..... If i dont have the data to play, i wont!

Please fix it.

[Richard79]

Mods lets put this in simple terms for you, if you do not supply us with answers we will soon start to be abusive as that is the only way to get you (gree as a company) to reply..........so pull your ****in finger out your ****in arses and sort this ****in issue out and tell us what the **** is goin on. We want to play and we can not because this is ****ed up!!!!!

[Merc_mw]

Richard,
The message isn't helpful.
A helpful message is, "Clash of Clans has no data surge issues, runs glitch free and is just as fun."

[Splat!]

I've set new highs in data usage on my 4 accounts 10-12 days into the month, costing me $90 in over usage charges so far, and more to come. On my main acct, MW alone used 13.3GB in 14 days - wow! I'm at 4-5GB of M w only usage 1/2 way into my data plan's month.

OK, so iOS 4.2 is going to fix this, fine. Taddah, what is the current estimated date that Gree hopes to release 4.2? This is the specific question everyone in this thread wants to know. What is your specific answer as to specifically which day, or failing that, a range of dates?

We understand that drelease dates might later slip, but lack of a date estimate given this bug is costing thousands of people overage charges on our data plans - just ain't cool. Is it a day, a week, a month? Something please. Thx!

[FromAfar]

Question: those seeing huge usage: who is your carrier? Is averyine verizon? Or is it pretty much all? AT&T ? Sprint? Tmobile? Others? Are any f the folks here , with the issue, non-USA or non-North America?

[Rolinz]

Whoa - that is a LOT of data, and I'm not immediately aware of any changes that we'd expect to bump data usage up. We're going to check this out.


I am with AT&T and had to been on 6GB plan since November and only used half of my data plan.

I had to upgrade to 10GB. No changes in the way I use my iPad Air.

When are we getting an answer or fix Gree?

[Splat!]

I have accounts on 3 different carriers, AT&T, Verizon and Consumer Cellular, and got huge data spikes on all 3 starting over a month ago. I mostly use wifi, and had never come close to my data limits, until last month, and all due to MW.

2 iPads I use only for MW and nothing else. Both hit 4GB 1/2 way into the 30 day cycles. 1 is on AT&T and the other on Verizon. So,..., don't think it's the carriers fault!

[1brent1]

Hello all,

As stated previously in this thread, a tentative fix will be coming in 4.2. Please remain patient just a little longer. Thanks.

We need to know how much a little longer is please. It's now been 4 days. There will be less upset customers if your just honest. Tell us it's going to be at least 30 days, knowing we'll be upset to hear that. We will be much less upset not knowing and dragging us on for 30 more days.

In meantime now that you have identified the problem please tell us what we can do to reduce excessive data usage until the problem is fixed. Perhaps less raiding/attacking, don't or do close app out all the way, etc? Not asking for a lot, just 5mins of your time.

[Lancerdually]

4 more days with no news.......... this has got to be the single most inept, screw it's customers company that i have EVER had the displeasure of coming in contact with. Dang shame that such a good game has been ruined by them.

[Dannutz]

has anyone else noticed a surge in the data usage for modern war in the last 2 months or so?

I mean A LOT!

it seems a simple / quick check is upwards of 50m

for those folks with um-limited data plans, some are getting killed!

gree, do you do analysis of the usage? can you provide any stats of what an active player, say 10x logins daily, some scouting, hitting, checking buildings, and such may look like for usage on a player with a fair sized army. 10k units, all standard buildings and almost all of the limiteds.

thanks for the info.

Have a friend at 8gb of data for the month in KA alone. Asked gree about this and got no response.

[Richard79]

This coming from a guy who calls wifi a futuristic invention. And would expect players who put a game on a devise with a cellular data plan for the sole reason of playing anytime any where. To search for wifi all the time. Nice one buddy.

[SirOMalley XHH]

Gree where is the update on this front? Are you trying to push away loyal players, or is this just another effort in futility??

[1GaDawg85]

Still waiting Gree!!!!!

[GrimAmoeba]

Still waiting Gree!!!!!

Repeatedly been said as soon as iTunes approves the update a possible fix will be released. Unfortunately this one is out of their hands if it is true waiting on iTunes. I had an app that took over 2 weeks for approval on a update to be released. Not sticking up for Gree by any means but that is the process

[Gherik]

Maybe they are having trouble getting approval:

Haha I saw that earlier, very well could be why 4.2 is not making it to iTunes yet. If that's the case say bye bye to any gold vids that's IF iTunes doesn't kick gree all together for a slew of other reasons

[Richard79]

Thats the biggest pile of bull**** ive seen today!!!!!! Gree give us a ****in update, im droid so the bull**** 4.2 waitin is bollox!!!

[Splat!]

Hi Taddahl. It's been 2 days since my post and 2 more 1GB data overage charges, despite shutting off cellular except 1% of the time. I recall you posted your start here is a bit rocky. Reason is that stuff like this happens, ALOT, and mods don't give us any replys. Am sure you can see how that might be frustrating. Hoping you will be different. When will 4.2 update be out and will it fix the spectacular spike in MW data usage? Thanks!

[Maz]

In light of Apple banning video rewards and the full scale investigation by iTunes into gree, I'd not imagine 4.2 coming out soon till something major changes

[Rpmjr]

Really GREE, on 6/5 you posted for us to be patient a little longer and we haven't heard a word since, went over on home acct and two hotspots and had no idea why. Will be waiting for info on HUGE, refund. But you guys can get new Boss event up and running, eating up more data

[Thumpr]

Mods? Tadaaah? CJ? Is there an issue with getting 4.2 out? Timelines?

[sstuutss]

Hows them crikets?

[Richard79]

Hows them crikets?

Them crickets have generated a full gold refund from google play.........up yours gree

[Rpmjr]

Let me see, last update on this unbelievably important item was on 6/5, coming up on a week, little longer to gree must mean..... A month? Year? millennium?

[GrimAmoeba]

I have always been a moderate gold user, sometimes pushing more to the heavy side. I promised myself after a week of this nonsense that I wouln't spend one dime on this game until it gets resolved. Happy to say, I've stuck to that promise. And to be honest, my stats haven't really flinched and I tend not to care as much about what's going on in the game anymore. Probably will stay gold free.

Nice execution Gree...


Thanks for your story, next...

[Tadaaah]

We can't give an exact date for the push. It is in the line for going out soon.

[ScrewThis]

Do you know what caused it? What did someone at Gree do to the code to make this happen? And why was there no quality control yet again?

[GrimAmoeba]

Kind of an oxi-moron. People complain because it hasn't been released yet now all the sudden worry about quality control. Maybe if people would give them time to release new content there might be better quality control without the pressure. Just a thought

I was actually talking about whatever release caused the issue in the first place. It had no QA at all. Maybe you should give some thought before posting.

[GrimAmoeba]

Well maybe you should read your statement when you said YET AGAIN, pretty plain English and easy to interpret!! So now tell me your talking about whatever release caused it or multiple releases. Obviously I understand, but you don't

[ScrewThis]

It's an oxymoron not oxi-moron.
And it is "you're talking" not "your talking"

But clearly overall your command of the English language far surpasses my own, hence why "your" right and I should crawl back underneath my uneducated rock.

[sstuutss]

What is soon in the world of Gree? Soon past long ago in my world. Over 3 weeks now so when ever it happens it certainly wont be soon. I certainly wont be holding my breath.

on side note, hows it feel now you.ve seen what its like around here jumping from one train wreak the next?

Hi Taddah. Crazy 1st couple weeks, huh. Hey, I got another 1GB overage charge today. Only turn on cellular to collect, then off. So have to ask you please to define "soon" please. Is soon this week? Is soon next week? You can narrow it down that much, right! Thank You!

[Sandhawk]

Seriously, you guys are the utter embarrassment of programmers and developers everywhere.

No one complains about this. They push for the new one in the hope it irons out the old ones bugs. If we had just one working version we'd be on our way

[1GaDawg85]

So, I see there is still no concrete answer as to when this update will come

[sstuutss]

The crickets have spoken

[socomloser]

Don't blame gree only on this one ,if you remember right Gree forced into a quick release of update by sup. Last WD sup said they won't play wd if gree didn't release a update on glitching players. Well we wouldn't be here right now *****ing about data usage cause would they have had more time. I have talked to multiple faction on this one that extremely upset with this not being able sign in because of this data surge. If this isn't fixed by WD my faction and about 30 faction in top 100-150 we not play wd if there isn't fix by time event start. So let see if gree gives us the same service has sup. The big difference between us and sup we actually mean it!!

[1GaDawg85]

Folks might want to stop playing

[sstuutss]

I think you'll find you have your dates wrong, don't think you can blame this one on SUP.
It's not like this is grees first screw up

[Veritas aequitas]

Was wondering where those usage charges were coming from. Reset stats on ipad and....5 gb from mw alone in 5 days!!! Holy crap batman! What is going on here? Gree may possibly be the most incompetent company I have ever seen, they make the airlines lol like the four seasons.

[socomloser]

But I think you'll find this issue pre dates the last WD. Gree has history releasing glitch after glitch, though they do fix the ones costing them money pretty quick they, to put it nicely, some what slower when its costing others money.

Grim, you've already established that you have wifi access everywhere and aren't bothered by the cellular data problem, unlike the rest of us that are incurring overage fees by our carriers due to this bug. You are being argumentative just to be argumentative. This is a serious problem for those of us impacted and this thread was created to address this and get resolution and information from GREE and the mods. You don't have a dog in this fight so I respectfully ask to please cease and desist with your commentary.

[Rolinz]

I have been averaging 1.5GB of data for every 2 days.

I tested it and just opening MW and collecting cash from my buildings and putting it in the vault used up about 5.5MB, in less than 3 minutes of usage. In 20 minutes and with MW closed, it went up by 0.40MB.

So I decided to turn off all push notifications and such.

Another question is when MW opens, what data is being downloaded and uploaded? Is the content being downloaded every time we open MW, even if the device has the latest content?

At this rate, I might be only able to use it with WiFi only.

[Dockman]

My plan is 5gb and I have easily exceeded that amount. AT&T sold me 1gm more and within a few hours I got a text message that it had been exceeded as well and that they added another 1gb. My plan is only 1/2 way through the month. What has GREE done now?

[{Kill Joy}]

its probably from all the scripts they have to run now to check for hacks. oh wait. they don't do that. hmmm. not sure then.

Tadaaaah / CJ or whatever you call yourself today, if you guys found the cause of the problem and have already implemented a fix on Crime City, Can you do the same on MW without having to wait? You guys already know what`s causing the problem so it should be easier to find a start point on where to look!

On one account, I got 7 x $10 1GB overage charges in the 1st 15 days, with cellular turned off most of the time. "soon" isn't good enough! When is 4.22being released? If not soon, then shut down the game until "soon" becomes "now."

and nod what is Gree's plan for reimbursement? Do I submit the overage notices?

FYI, Apple is investigating Gree because of all of complaints and refund requests. This may be delaying any update they are trying to release to resolve this issue.

Gree isn't being investigated that's a bunch of malarkey.

They just suck as a company.

[mwtransfer]

MW and CC does use a bit of data but isn't that bad, less than 100MB per month each for me. BUT, the other game I play with wizards, goblins & clan castles used 11MB in the same time period and I play that game ALOT more.

Could it be the free videos people are watching?

This should have never taken this long to fix. This is a MASSIVE data bleed. This is the kind of thing that gets apps banned from iTunes. Verizon sent me an email about Modern War, telling me to stop using it. Unbelievable that we still have to wait for this to be fixed. What's Gree's intention of reimbursing us for blowing up our data plan? Maybe iTunes can help us since we're not getting anywhere here. Others in my faction have been banned from using work wifi because of MW data bleed. They've blocked the app altogether. It's been 30 days already, no one is patient anymore.

[GrimAmoeba]

Gree where are youse on this?. Update us now.

You just had an update, they don't need to tell you anything. Like they have said many times, iTunes is approving the next update. If you don't know, it does take a while when a new version is launched. This isn't just a hotfix

This is not an update. We already know nothing and looky here. Nothing. What in game function is causing the data bleed so we can at least try to work around it. I used more than 9gb of data last month. Is it ads?. It's it server syncing and there is nothing we can do?. Is it constantly reloading temp files?. Let us know what you guys know.

Yes but soon was also mentioned and it certainly hasnt been that. Though you have fixed issues that effect you quickly enough.


What's Gree's intention of reimbursing us for blowing up our data plan?
I think we all know the answer to that one.

[TheBFO]

There is no fix, they aren't doing anything about it. Tadaah is spewing garbage to try and ease everyone up.

Where do you find that "soon" is a specific time frame?

Try page 16

That sir does not say anything about SPECIFIC time frame. That is a general time frame for those situations. Do you know what specific means or do you need to go to dictionary.com also

[sstuutss]

oh sorry I didnt realise we were playing word games.
If you feel gree's action on this issue has been soon enough then its all good. personally I wouldn't call 'something over a week' in this instance 'soon' but if you choose to define 'soon' as 'any time within the next 150 years' you're more than welcome to. So I guess that means we dont need another post from you anytime soon(by your def or even gree's)

[bam bam.]

Apparently the universe is billions of yrs old. So I guess 150yrs is relatively soon. These guys...

[Dirty Mind]

This should have never taken this long to fix. This is a MASSIVE data bleed. This is the kind of thing that gets apps banned from iTunes. Verizon sent me an email about Modern War, telling me to stop using it. Unbelievable that we still have to wait for this to be fixed. What's Gree's intention of reimbursing us for blowing up our data plan? Maybe iTunes can help us since we're not getting anywhere here. Others in my faction have been banned from using work wifi because of MW data bleed. They've blocked the app altogether. It's been 30 days already, no one is patient anymore.
Reimbursement? Are you serious? Actually, wait, thats a good idea. Where do I go to get reimbursed for blowing through my data plan watching porn?
Here's an Idea, while your at work, try working.

I've had to cut back on my other vices to get my game on lol

[Swang]

Just hit the boss once and the data usage was 15 MB. Spent 200 MB in a very short period this morning. How much we will spend due to exceeding data limit! Please fix and please fix now.

[Jjqr]

I think it have to do with raid boss,
other events I don't have this problem...

[Swang]

another test, one hit on the boss, nothing else, 54 MB.

[ModernwarRich]

Awesome - used 1.1g of data in 2 days with this game... Guess I'll be a wifi only player now... Forget buying anymore gold. Ridiculous.

[1GaDawg85]

This is ver irritating......

[Adm. J(K96)]

Two and a half days into my new billing cycle and I'm already over two gigs. Sorry Gree, can't have this. App deleted, working on complaint to iTunes now.

[socomloser]

And what would you complain to iTunes about. I'm using an app that accesses the internet. Most ignorant thing I have ever heard. Like they care an app uses the internet. There is no restriction or law that says there is a max that an app or program can use the internet. Your cellular carrier thanks you for your business

So its soon already? lol
btw you're wrong about the above.

[Sinner]

Why comment if your not bothered by the data useage or to just to make fun of someone that this problem affects grim amoeba ? Grow up

[Adm. J(K96)]

Amoeba you are either a child, a shill, or an idiot. Either way, you are the absolute most useless individual I have ever run across on this forum.

[Mr Prezident]

It's using up my data very quick

Ignore Grim like all of us do. His vagina is too spread apart by his head stuck up in it.

Mods an update would be nice

The latest update to MW hasn't been released yet. From what I have seen, v4.2 of MW is supposed to fix the issue. AGAIN, something that should have been picked up in QA prior to release. To me it just seems like there is a laid back attitude to the development and it's released even with issues.

[Adm. J(K96)]

Hey Tadaaah, where exactly is the hold up? Has it not been released to apple yet, or are they holding it up?

[Merc_mw]

We have lost 3 players because of this flipping known issue with a fix ready but we aren't releasing it yet
and won't tell you why. Nice attitude: Why should we, you are only our customers.

[bam bam.]

Current update. We are incompetent and cannot help you. Please give us more money.
