Two weeks ago

Two weeks ago we finished up development on some bug fix builds we’re planning on releasing soon, so those are with our QA team now. You’ll probably be seeing a lot of new versions...

I'm working on them now - the extra day off in the US has thrown my schedule a bit off. Sorry about that!

We're waiting on an update to the SDK that runs those videos, and are planning on integrating it into the Android build as soon as they have a new production-ready version. (It's a third party, so I...

We've looked and looked at FL matching after the fact and haven't been able to find any problems with it (although clearly there must be something going on). I'm coordinating with our server team to...

In Progress

Last week, we fixed the underlying issue for the “disappearing items” problem some players were seeing with hero equip items. (That fix should also have taken care of the “unable to...

Hrm, that's weird. Do you have a ticket open with CS?

There was a server problem that was causing weird saving errors, which were the cause of both the "disappearing equipment" problem and the "can't change my equipment" problem.

We implemented and...

The honest truth is that the EB health was set up in a way where it could only get so big on the back end. Now the EBs need to have more health to stay interesting and fun for top-level players, so...

Note: I'm sorry these are so late this week - as noted below, I've had a sinus infection of the sort that makes it feel like I've been sleeping on a concrete pillow, complete with toothache. Hope...

Hey, guys! Sorry these are late... I was waiting on our special guest columnist. This week, in lieu of proper dev notes, I'm bringing you a letter from our QA lead here on MW!



Hi,

I am the...

Hello, MW players!

This week we were mostly in find-and-fix mode for issues stemming from the 5.0 release. Thanks for your help in the relevant glitch threads!

"Lost" accounts tool is live!

Hey, guys, sorry about that - all the Android servers should be back up again. We had a hiccup in our autoscaling system and our ops guys had to put a bunch of servers back online manually.

There's an iOS bug that leads to the order being wrong - but the stats you're seeing are correct for their "box". (So if it says "soldier equipment", that's legit your soldier equipment stat -- we...

Good morning, all!

The tools we've been working on to get people's devices correctly associated back with their games are finally done, and CS has started working through the backlog of tickets.
...

Hey, guys, when you report issues, the following info would really help:

1. Your OS/hardware type
2. The version number you're playing on
3. Your invite code, so we can look up what the...

The Android team is working on an update to fix the stats display issues now - it'll be in build 5.0.3, which should be out soon. (Our QA team has to review it.)

We know the stats are flipped -...

Our CS team will be working through all the tickets they've received about "lost" accounts as soon as they get trained up in how to use the tool they need to do it.

If you haven't received an...

Nope, the amount of points received is determined by the two people involved each fight, not by how many other fights might be going on at the same time.

I think that's a really cool idea too - a lot of us wanted to do this when we originally proposed the feature!

In order to do that, we're going to have to revamp the profile system and display, as...

Actually, I rather like having them each in a separate post - it's easier for us to answer them when they're separated.

1. A pre-5.0 player will probably lose to a 5.0+ player because they don’t have anything equipped to their soldier, and that’s a significant factor in the new battle calculations. They do get the...

1. Equipment on your soldier does not stack, however, each army unit you take into battle automatically equip up to 6 of the items not used by your soldier.

2. That’s weird - it works fine for us...

This is just a display error (the server still has all your correct stats). This is fixed in 5.0.3, which is waiting for QA signoff before we ship it. (Also, please note that we ship Android builds...

1. Yes - if you log into a different GameCenter account, you’ll see the MW games associated with that account instead. We’re also working on a tool to let CS help you get all the games associated...

Sorry this opened up a little late, guys! Clementine's been super-busy today and I didn't realize it hadn't been done. We'll be back tomorrow morning to answer things, so please do post your...
