馃悹 Splashy Fish Updated 馃悶 Bug Fixed

We have just recently updated the Splash Fish game today, to address a known bug in this game.

Previously, pressing "Pause" followed by "Resume", could cause objects/obstacles to appear in places they shouldn't, sometimes causing the game to be unplayable from that point on.


[b]This issue should not be occurring anymore, after today's update.[/b]


There is another similar reported bug, where objects can again, appear in places they shouldn't, but seemingly randomly, and not very often.

We haven't been able to reproduce this random occurrence version of the bug, yet,
but hopefully, our recent changes may have addressed this issue also.

[b]Please do test out the Splashy Fish game[/b], and let us know over time, whether or not the reported bugs appear to be resolved.

Is this still messed up?

@itsok

It looks that way.

We can confirm that the "Pause => Resume" version of the Bug, is fixed, since we could have tested by reproducing that issue before.


However, we were unsure whether or not the other random occurrences were truly resolved.
We aren't yet able to reproducer this, to observe when and why it might be happening.


[b]Were you mentioning that this bug only happens on one of your devices, and not the other.[/b]

@Andrew no, it has happened on both my iPhone and iPad. It seemed like if the game started like this, it remained that way for the rest of the day on whichever device I was using it on. But it was never messed up this way on both devices on the same day.

Per your previous feedback:

[quote=itsok]@Andrew no, so some days when I play (I鈥檒l say like 25% maybe) the pillars will all be really close together like that, and the coins will be in weird places, like bronze and gold coins overlapping, coins going behind pillars, and very small openings to get through. If I restart the game or close the window and go back it鈥檚 the same.
But if I try to play the game from another device it鈥檚 not like that.[/quote]

Would you say that when you experience this bug, [b]the game STARTS Off buggy like that?[/b]

[b]Or, does it randomly go bad during the middle of Gameplay?[/b] (the game started off normally)

Ok, I just read your last reply.

So, you are saying that the game remains in a messed up state, for the entire day,
even if you start a new game,
or restart the entire page.

Even leaving the game and coming back to it later, during that day.

Very strange, this does not seem normal,
especially to happen on more than one device.

Although, both are Apple Products, it's happening on.

hmm... we'll have to look into this more, and see what we can find,

but what you are reporting seems abnormal.

@Andrew it has never gone bad during gameplay, it has always started from the beginning of the game

@itsok
I wonder if on those days you experience those bugs:

1) Something is running in the background on your Device, consuming more CPU than normal.

2) You have some setting enabled, which alters one of the timers/clock-speed of the device.


For you to experience the Bug for the entire day, despite reloading.
then sometimes not experience anything wrong at all on other days,

makes me think that something is running on your device (outside of the game) could be the culprit. 馃

Thanks much for that additional feedback!

@itsok Wow, you scored 64! The highest I got was 18, I then threw my phone out of the window..

@Majorlatency hooves aren鈥檛 ideal for splashy fish

@itsok You are so right. With my quick getaway capabilities and your love of animals and powers of observation, we should team up and be pet detectives.

Or is this just another bad idea?
itsok31-35, F
@Andrew hi, I believe I know what鈥檚 causing the mess up in splashy fish now
AndrewAdmin
@itsok hi,
What do you think it was that was causing your issue?

We've now just released another Update, that should address other variations of this Bug,
and hopefully fully resolve the issue for you also.

@Andrew low power mode. When I had it enabled the game was messed up, and when I take it off it fixes. I switched it back and forth 5 or 6 times last night to make sure.
I also tried the same thing with low power mode on my iPad, and the same thing happened

@itsok
Thanks much for explaining, and testing this out thoroughly!
Glad to know that you have a working fix now. :)

It's also good for us to be aware of this in general, as some other users may eventually experience similar issues.
