Gymbattles are buggy. The counting is all over the place. Sometimes 9 seconds. sometimes automaticly starting after 1 second.
Still got the freezing issue and have narrowed it right down.
As soon as I click on my Trainer Icon to look at anything I can not rotate my trainer around on the screen, he is frozen on the spot and I have to restart the App.
If I click on a Gym Badge that has a Pokemon in it the game freezes on that screen and I have to restart App.
Not sure if its coincidental but I only noticed this problem after I downloaded the iOS Pogo Update on my iPhone 6s .
What I do find really strange though is all the problems are exactly the same when I log my Trainer into an Android device.
My Wifes game is also on an iPhone 6s and was updated at the same time as mine and hers does not have this problem above.
The only difference between our accounts is hers is a Google non age capped and mine is PTC age capped.
I deleted the Pogo App and re-loaded it but that changed nothing.
Still no reply from my origional Bug Report.
I’ve added all the new finding to their automated response from the original report.
Hopefully I get a respose.
How could things get so much more buggy in so little time? Yesterday (both during the legendary-raid-dinner-hour and three hours before it started), several of us encountered functional break downs.
In the middle of the raid, some of us suddenly wound up back in the gym with all the trainer-counters at 0, others of us remained in the raid battle with the trainer-counters still at full value, but with our currently-fighting pokemon vanished and its health meter not changing (and a few times it appeared that our attacks were still functioning though our pokemon was not visible, and the graphics indicating attacks against us showed - but our health meters remained stuck, and when we finally got back to the game and went to restore our pokemon, only a few had expired while others had over a dozen to revive).
A few times somebody’s game kept freezing at the point where they needed to rejoin the raid, so our group all jumped out and re-started the raid, only to get stuck in other manners of Limbo.
And that’s only about half of the weird things we saw…
I’m amazed that I was still able to participate in 5 raids and even capture 4 Groudons, given the veritable smorgasbord of flaky game function.
PS: We had a mixture of Android and iOS phones, and there were more than enough bugs for all to experience at least a few. People laughed and nodded when I exclaimed that if the game wasn’t so fun, I wouldn’t put up with even half of this bugginess.
I experienced exactly the same as you’ve just described above the last 2 days of doing Raids.
2 Days ago was was the first I encountered it on a T5 Raid 1 hour before the Raid diner special.
On that one we had 6 accounts and on the first attempt we got to about the half way point and 3 of the accounts got stuck in limbo where our Pokemon disappeared from the screen and no damage was being done to them and the y were doing no damage despite the animation showing all the moves were being performed. The Raid timed out so we had another go.
The second time every thing was going ok and we had Groudon down into the Red zone and this time 5 of the 6 went into limbo leaving 1 left in the fight (my acct). Luckily I was able to defeat Groudon but got down to 30sec remaining. To make matters worse Groudon had Solar Beam.
Yesterday it was the same 6 of us doing another Groudon with Solar Beam and we had the same with random accts going into limbo. This time we were unable to do enough damage before all the crap started so timed out twice leaving no more time to even try again.
Needless to say we were extremely salty and had no desire to bother doing another Raid especially on Premium Passes.
I’ve had a gutfull of this crap and will not be doing any Raids for a bit in hope this nonsense will be resolved as it’s not enjoyable to be wasting time that could be spent doing something enjoyable.
ATM the game is not very enjoyable with the Trainer game freezing issue, the no Smeargle Spawn after Photo Bomb and the Raid Limbo issue. Add that to the frustration of non bug related RNG poor luck with the no Shiny and constant junk IV from Raids = not Fun.
I walked away from competitive Golf when the fun was lost and will walk from this game if the fun factor does not return soon.
Wow Niantic, nice work. More bugs, no fixes so far.
Bug1 [Can’t see friendship level]
Bug2 [Mesprit registered to pokédex under number 025]
They really outdone them selfs this time.
Okay, I’ll be the designated idiot again today:
Is bug 2 that it shows 025 in the new slot (instead of 481)?
And what’s bug 1? (I assume the black-out marks are added by you, not the game.)
That bug is a long-existing one. If I know correctly it did also show ‘025’ when I registered a Shiny Wynaut in my Pokédex last year.
Edit:
Here’s the pic so you can see it.
Other than showing shiny sandslash, what are the bugs here?
The line at Meowth is too high. Also shiny animations visible there.
No shiny Icon at Sandslash.
Did I mis anything @Jormdeworm?
Both show a Shiny variant but I do not have Shiny Sandslash and Shiny Meowth doesn’t even exist yet.
Smeargle Photobomb Not Resulting in Encounter
Besides the already mentioned bugs, there are tons of visual bugs some new, most somewhat older. But it is getting worse the last few days.
Seeing and experiencing multiple bugs while raiding. Also read about some other raid related bugs.
Seriously Niantic, what the hell were you doing at your HQ??? Partying??? Seriously fix this mess. It seems to get worse by the day.
I’ve only had that happen once, about a week after Smeargle was released.
I’ve now had 3 Smeagle Photo Bombs that have failed to spawn in a week when back on the game screen.
Tues 30th April
Fri 3rd May
and today 6th May
I logged a bug report the first time it happened. Now I’m I work I’ll go through my emails and see if there has been a reply yet and if not I’ll be replaying again as I have screens shots with the times of the last 2 occasions.
3 times now, I really think I should be compensated with something as it’s simply not good enough.
There is a way to get them spawning after failure. Restart the Pokemon go app. It may take even 3 or more tries but it should spawn. More people reported that on Twitter and Reddit. Hopes it will work for you.
Cheers for that.
First time it happened I tried restarting but no Smeargle still.
I found something that they actually fixed. The Pokéball logo when you get notified outside the game. Finally it is no longer just a white ball but the actual logo.
And I had a new bug. Stops refusing to give a research tasks. It happens sometimes.
