The game starts normally, logs the user in, displays all the usual stuff.
When entering solo mode, it fails to start a new match:
The pictures of the possible choices (Fugoro, Seifer, etc.) get highlighted on mouse-hover, plays a little animation on click, but nothing happens after that - except it loses the mouseover highlight and does not react on any further clicks after the first. All matches are affected independently - clicking each one disables them separately. Exiting to main screen (by clicking the faeria rune in the top left corner) and then entering the solo mode again turns animation back on but still doesn’t allow to actually play.
Battle chests play sound and animation with the opening fireworks and stuff when clicked, but there are three things that should normally happen but don’t:
- UI should disappear leaving only the open chest and the new cards on screen.
- New cards should appear
- Number of chests available to the user should decrease by 1.
As UI doesn’t disappear I am able to go to the main screen again and then return back to chests - their number does not decrease and they still not open.
These problems do also affect buying stuff - concretely the new adventure packs. After clicking “buy” a loading wheel appears, but never stops, so I have to hard kill the process.
All this can be solved by running “verify integrity of game files” in Steam, but only for the next launch of the game. If I close the game and start it again without rechecking the hashes - the problem reappears.
Interestingly enough - integrity verification does not report downloading any new files.
Given the fact that all the things affected have to do with server interaction I dare to assume it has something to do with establishing connection to game server (not the log-in, probably).
Given that the Steam really does not download any new files the only thing I can think of is some kind of cache having to do with connecting, probably?
Anyway, that’s the bug. I’m not sure what other info I can provide to help.
