Some issues with Unity you may or may not be aware of (sorry a bit of a brain dump)
Generic template:
• How did the error manifest itself?
There are multiple issues detailed below (with screenshots where appropriate)
• Date and time - When did the problem occur?
Every day, all the time
• What did you do last?
Not relevant – these issues are clear and obvious and easy to reproduce.
• Did the problem occur more than once? Can it be reproduced?
Yes – see screenshots and steps all listed below.
• Have you already done the first steps?
CTRL+F5 forced refresh makes no difference. Problems have persisted since Unity version went live.
• Have you cleared your cache and cookies?
Yes
• Can you take a screenshot of it?
Yes see below.
• Which operating system do you use (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, ...)?
Windows 10 (x64)
• Internet provider / Internet speed:
Several: 350Mbit normally and others 100Mbit, 30Mbit all the same!
• Internet access (LAN/WLAN/UMTS):
WIFI and LAN (no difference)
• Please attach Screenshots of the Dev Console (Press F12 in the browser while you experience the error). Please send Screenshots of the "Inspector" Tab AND the "Console" Tab.
Not really applicable/appropriate for each issue! It your need specifics, Im willing to help out.
• Which browser AND browser version are you using?
Edge 92.0.902.73
Chrome (latest)
Chromium 71.0.3578.98
Firefox 90.0.2
Now for the specifics:
NOTE: Problems all seem consistent across browsers (Edge, Chrome, Firefox)
I’ve held off for several fixes, but the game is still so much more painful (even after today's update – although the fix for the bulk mail/loot collection is much appreciated!)
I thought I’d wait until after today's update to send these through in case you had fixed any of them.
I guess you know probably about all of these issues (none of them are show stoppers, just annoying that such regressions still exist) but just in case you don’t I thought I’d list them all…
1. After a geologist finds a mine-able resource, in the old client/flash, the resource would be visible making locating the resource and placing the mine easy. In the new unity version, the resource is not shown – just a blank spot where it should be (note if the geologist has special abilities, the gold leaf IS floating above the empty resource!)

When you actually select the iron mine, the resource does become visible, but it always used to be visible prior to selecting the mine to build!

2. Items for collection/event up-gradable buildings still show as ready to collect/upgrade AFTER collecting/upgrading them…

3. Star menu, sending explorers – still not right – missing/not registering all clicks, not highlighting the selected treasure search (the old client used to keep the selected button highlighted in a burgher colour (like the hover colour) – not a major issue but along with missing clicks it makes it difficult to see which search is selected!
I suspect the missing clicks are because the animation of the explorer window s very slow (still) so the click is sent slightly before the window is positioned. Why animate this (especially so slowly)!
Also the tool tips obscure the actual button that’s being hovered over (although t does seem to click through OK)

To be continues (as I can only attach 5 files sigh!)

4. Guild chat appears to be broken (again)

5. Scrolling the trade window (trade between friends) once notch of the scroll wheel scrolls 1/3rd of a line – making it very slow to scroll down to the item you want to trade. Clicking the scroll bar seems to scroll a whole page at a time – which is too much – a nice in-between – one wheel “notch” should scroll one line of items! We don’t need slow “smooth” scrolling!
What is worse, if the mouse pointer is over a GAP between items, the wheel does not scroll AT ALL – so you can start scrolling, and if it happens that scroll causes the cursor to be in between items, then continuing to scroll fails until you move the cursor!
Attachment 7529
EG: Wheel wont scroll when cursor is here!
6. While noting the above, I received a trade request, but in the mail box the top message had two messages in one line (didn’t manage to capture a screen shot of this). The trade request AND a loot collection were both on the TOP line (I have not seen this prior to todays update?)
7. Moving around my island, still it “slowly” redraws the land, and takes much longer to draw all the buildings that the flash/client ever did.

8. EDIT Another one: When creating in the provision house/barracks etc. it no longer shows HOW MANY THINGS you are creating which is a real PAIN!
I need to know how many items I'm creating so I get the right amount (or close to it)!
Attachment 7532
9. Significant problem, the Unity version seems to be using much more CPU/GPU resources.
On my high end systems, it causes my CPU/GPU fans to constant spin and the CPU to always run at high clock speeds – this not only makes it VERY noisy on my laptop (high spec gaming laptop (I7 9xxxx with RTX2060, 32Gb RAM)) but also, it warms up my room more (summer with no aircon and I hate to think what this means for the environment/electricity bills across the whole user-base!!!!
The overall experience playing the game is definitely not what it was before Unity (I’m still trying to send out my explores and do the guild tasks but I haven't done any adventures since Unity – not worth the hassle).
Having said that, it is getting better, just too slowly!
I still don’t understand how the Unity version was released when it was so clearly NOT ready as was blatantly obvious from the test servers and all the comments on the forums before and since Unity was made “live”. If I were to do this in my software development job, I would be fearing for my future, and our customers would rightly be very upset and look elsewhere!
Thanks
Any successfully connected 32-bit users?
Can ANYONE on a 32-bit system get in?
If so, can you detail what your setup is so our 32-bit users have something to also try please?

Level 54 can't do Round 10 - Level 54 players can't do Very Long Adventure Searches
How did the error manifest itself?
By giving me a quest which I cannot do at my level. Which really sucks when I've done all the others flat out so I could have time to finish this one before the end of the event!
Date and time - When did the problem occur?
15th September 2021 - around 16:40
Please state here the exact date and time when the error occurred.
See above.
What did you do last?
When I completed the production of 72 wheels and clicked on the new quest in the Celebrathon quest chain.
Did the problem occur more than once? Can it be reproduced?
I refreshed and logged in again and it's still there. I don't think it's the sort of bug which just goes away.
Have you already done the first steps?
Please have a look at this topic: Help with Game, Connection Problems
The first steps often fix errors. Did you check if the error still occurred afterwards?
Have you cleared your cache and cookies?
How to clear cache and cookies can be found here.
None of these are relevant unless a fix is planned I think.
Can you take a screenshot of it? (if possible) A screenshot is very helpful and supports your message. If you can take a screenshot, you can simply upload it via the forum as an attachment.
Attached.
Which operating system do you use (Windows, Mac OS, Linux, ...)?
Internet provider / Internet speed:
Please attach Screenshots of the Dev Console (Press F12 in the browser while you experience the error). Please send Screenshots of the "Inspector" Tab AND the "Console" Tab.
Which browser AND browser version are you using?
Not relevant
I've already sent my explorers out on the prolonged treasure searches so as to be able to finish the quest. Absolutely gutted. I've attached screenshots with some of my explorers to show you they're out already looking for treasure --- I have 10 out doing this right now, so I would easily have been able to finish however many long addy searches you needed me to do.
I don't expect you'll fix it between now and the end of the event, but can I PLEASE get the rewards I'm due as there's no way I can now level and do all the quests and it's not fair that a Level 54 is excluded from completing the quest chain just because of level :|
Edit : Spoke to BB_Trafffer in game and got the feedback in the extra attachments : Basically the answer is either spend gems, or keep grinding levels until you're level 56 and then finish the quest normally.
