Ape Apps

Same here. Is that part of the 'brutal' setting? Not being able to mine everything that's there? :-)

I think the latest native client resolved it for me as well, but the title screen isn't showing 0.43.2, even though I installed it. It's still showing 0.43.0. Is that expected?

Thanks for the hard work to look into this!

I didn't ask about the basics of gifting. I regularly gift to those who have embassies in my commonwealth and across my colonies. The question is, why can't I gift crystal yet. Is it because it isn't in the GBT due to volumes, or is there something else that needs to be added that we should anticipate at a later date?

On FireFox I still see it on one of my maps with like 15 claybots, but I'm not seeing it in Edge or Chrome right now at all. The bots jump around, but they are actively doing what they're supposed to be, which is harvesting in this case.

I'm not sure what you changed, but the CPU utilization on Edge has gone WAY down. It was as high or higher than the desktop client. I'm not seeing any real issues on my web maps right now.

I just noticed this morning when I started up a new Ice World this is happening in Edge as well. I only have a total of 9 bots (2 tundra, 2 LIS rovers, 1 Gold, 2 Builder, 1 water, 1 Advanced builder) on a mega sized map, and when I left my Edge tab to go do something else and came back, the tundra bots were sliding around the map in their harvesting action. It's almost like it was trying to display what was happening while my focus was on another window or something.

That was the problem, wrong interpretation of the letters :-). Sorry for the ring.

Sorry, it's mega-asteroid-prime, and once I went online I don't remember taking it offline. I was trying to put a screenshot in of my commonwealth and/or overview page but it doesn't appear I can. There are 5 total charters, 2 of which are mine (mega-world-alpha-prime and mega-world-diamond-prime), but you might be able to see 'Krackin' or 'Fire lands' on my charter, though neither have been active for some time. The last one is a 'My colony' member, so not likely helpful.

My home page from within the Commonwealth screen shows to be: https://www.my-colony.com/colonies/rUzIooG6/.

AND THAT may be the problem. No copy and paste I've done of that has shown that as an 'I' before. You can't copy the code out of the desktop client for some reason, it always forces a click of the link, and it looks like a lowercase 'l' onscreen. I'll have one of my kids test with an uppercase 'I' and see if it works.

I take it back. Even with only the 4 gold bots and 4 clay bots I now have a gold bot just going back and forth across a 6 tile stretch where there's no mine to harvest or build.

A little more info. I self destructed all my gold and clay bots and created 4 of each. After saving and exiting, so far they all seem to be behaving properly. Definitely seems to be an upper boundary to the number of bots we can have.

I've got 15 gold bots, 10 claybots, probably 5-6 drones, 10 alien bots, 4 megas, and a few builders and advanced builders still running around.

Is unlocking on the GBT a requirement for gifting?

I'm seeing similar things as well. Win 10 Pro, desktop client. Happened a little bit under .41, now takes about 5 minutes and it starts happening under .43.1.

I've got a gold farm and a clay farm with 10 or so bots working mines and after a little while they just start running around in a circle not actually harvesting. If I exit to the desktop it generally works again for some time and then wigs out.

On a FireFox colony I'm not seeing it, but it's tiny compared to my main colony and the bots have to go pretty far to collect the resources on that map, so it may have something to do with size of the map or density of the bots maybe?

My charger code doesn't seem to work, and the only way anyone has been able to join my colony has been if I show up in the list when creating a new colony. Apparently this has been happening for awhile, but no one told me until just now.

My colony is mega-world-asteroid-prime and the charter code is rUzlooG6. The web client and desktop client both report it as an invalid charter code.

So just rebooted, tried update again, and it got to 99.9% downloaded before screen went white.

Similar behavior for me. Running on Windows 10 Pro. Upgraded from .41 to .43, opened the app, select my colony, and it shows my colony for about 10-15 seconds, then a white screen. I've tried minimizing, resizing and moving the application to a secondary monitor with no change in behavior.

Task Manager shows 3 active PIDs before it crashes and then only 1 that is consuming no CPU when the screen goes white.

I tried changing different engine settings like render cap (went from extreme where I normally have it set to none), disabled the side bar, and turned on the zoom buttons with no change in behavior. I thought it may have been something with zooming out (since the view starts zoomed pretty far in) because after I turned off the sidebar it seemed to give me more than 10 seconds before it went white, but it still went white. I then tried starting in a smaller screen, as I normally start full screen, and it let me move around the map for a good 30 seconds before it went white right after I zoomed out.

Now I'm in an update loop it seems. I've closed the app several times and now I'm getting an update notices that tries to download the 132.53MB upgrade, but before it gets to installing, the screen goes white. I haven't done a reboot yet, so I'm going to see if that has any effect on things.
