Explorers/geologists bugged

[Zotamedu]

So the bug from the explorer event is back. Visiting an adventure island will mess up the timer on the explorers and geologists. The explorers deliver on time but are shown to still be out in the star menu. You need to reload the game to sort it out. Same thing with geologists.

So the explorer event is still haunting us. Thanks for nothing BB. Would you please leave the game alone? Your programmers are apparently not competent enough to handle simple tasks so how about you stop introducing new features until you get a new set of programmers that can handle basic maths.

Rolling a bug like this out onto live servers is annoying but understandable if dealt with promptly and properly... rolling out a repeat of a previous bug is stupid, irresponsible and warrants a proper apology.

I know there are rules of conduct regarding behaviour and language on these forums, but rubbish like this being thrown at us repeatedly without any humility or admission of wrong doing from Blue Byte constitutes a big, foxtrotting slap in the face, especially towards paying customers.

By my reckoning it's about quarter past time you got your act together, #BugByte.

It's not visiting an adventure island (or any other island) that messes up the timer. It's a strange "sync call" from server doing it.
One reload will not sort it out, but by doing that now and then will shorten the glitch between when a specialist has arrived as he should (on server-side) and then it shows up on client-side.
Thou for search longer than 12h it seems like a correcting sync call never will come.

As of today with no special offers or anything.

If I send explorers off it tells me one time, but if I then log off and log back in all times are extended.

I sent 2 luck explorers on medium treasure search shoul have finished at 21:00 today they are now saying at 20:00 that they will complete in 3:45 mins. a full 2 and 3/4 hours longer than they should. This has been happening for at least 2 weeks.

My explorers just came back which is interesting since I can not have sent them away 22 hours ago because I was not at home then. The odd thing is that my lucky explorers seems to be on time.

The next time the devs wants to do something for the community. Please consider fixing a bug first. New features is apparently beyond the capability of the programmers so please let them fix all the old stuff they have broken instead of letting them introduce new things that are broken.

This should be fixed during tonight's maintenance.

Please don't hesitate to report it in here if you notice further issues in this regard.

I just found another interesting little bug. I sent my two lucky explorers out on medium searches this morning. One recently came back but the other didn't. It turns out that the other still has over 6 hours left on his medium search.



That's quite interesting since a full medium search should not take 6 hours. How is it then possible that I still have 6 hours left? I have tried refreshing and clearing cache but it's the same.

It seems like the explorer bug now causes search times to be more or less random.

No it should be fixed a month ago and then again a couple of weeks ago. It shouldn't be fixed again now. This bug should not have been reintroduced yet again. Maybe it's time for some of the devs to show their faces around here to explain what on earth they are doing.

I expect all specialists already sent (right before maintenance) won't be affected by any fix..

[BB_Ravel]

Reports received on this issue tell that the bug fix was successful.

Please let me know if everything is working as intended now or if there are still problems.

Thank you!
