lost game by abandonment while waiting on opponent to move

Sort:
Total1000

Just played a 30 minute game, I was winning aswell. Midway through my game while I was waiting for my opponent to make a move, I got a pop up that I lost to abandonment. Is this a known bug? It wasn’t my move. He’s the one who abandoned why did I lose? I wasn’t looking at my phone screen so I don’t know if there was a warning I missed, but still it wasn’t my move. Does anyone know what happened? Is this common? How can i avoid this

I am assuming is a server issue?

Must be a bug.  I'd contact support to see if they can help/

 Yes, it doesn't make sense. If it is the other players move then they should be the one to lose the game and not you.

This site becomes unplayable. I think I'm going to go somewhere else and stop
my subscription. I lost 100 points in about ten days because of recurring bugs.

It's not serious!

Same problem for me. Only today tree times. Clock of my opponent is stopped, I can not play and finally I loose for timeout.

It's not a solution of course, but if your opponent seems to be taking too much time; try refreshing the page.  He may have moved, but you didn't get the move due to a temporary disconnect.  They wrote an article for more permanent fixes; I'll go run around and see if I can find it...

About the problem mentioned above, I point out that there is never a problem when I play against the computer. But I didn't come here to play against a computer cry.png
