Weird graphic at beginning of games

Sort:

Hi, on iPhone app, starting today at the beginning of games is a weird and distracting "vs" graphic that takes over the screen. By the time it's gone, two seconds have ran off the clock for White... a big deal in a g/1 game when you only have 60 seconds to make all moves!

Are all platforms similarly affected by this thing? Not sure why the clock is counting down while the screen is covered, or even why it's there tbh.

I just played a bullet game, I got the graphic, but didn’t lose time. Maybe check your WiFi?

Were you the Black pieces? Black doesn't lose time, but White does.

It doesn't make sense anyway-- I can already see who I'm playing at the top of the screen on ever my game. This is the digital equivalent of me waving my hands between a chess player and the board and distracting him and costing him time... not sure how this got out of dev-test.
