Hi i am not sure if im in the right forum group or not.
Here we go, i have been playing this MMO game Vikings War Of Clans for a little over a year now,
and im getting sick and tired of getting this error all the time,
i have tried to play the game on Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Facebook Gameroom, and even Plariums own pc game app, all of them give this same error when playing…
The game starts fine, loads in and all that, then about an hour or so or if i seach the map a lot, then this error crashes the game…
the plarium support just keep telling me to clear my cache and reload the game.
But i have played other unity webGL games that i can play all day long without that error and without beeing
forced to reload the game at all…
and it’s like they are just ignoring the problem.
I really like to play this game and that’s why i have been talking with plarium support lile hundreds of times by now and the just keep saying that i need to clear the cache witch have no effect on the problem at all…
i just wonder if there is anyone in here, some smart heads who might know something about it…
This is a problem that needs to be addressed by the game’s developer. If you were the developer I’d direct you to this doc page for some basic info, though you might also find it interesting regardless:
As far as from the player’s perspective, the only thing I can suggest is to make sure you are running the game from a 64 bit browser. 32 bit browsers are restricted to 32 bit memory allocation sizes, which is fairly small by today’s standards. You could also specifically try Fire Fox 64 bit, since FF supports Large-Allocation HTTP headers, and you can cross your fingers that the developer has enabled that on their web server.
Note that often the default download for a browser installer will be for the 32 bit version, since that will work on both 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems, and you may need to do a little digging for the 64 bit version.
i am running the game with Chrome 64bit, Firefox 64bit, Vivaldi 64bit, and Opera 64bit.
and i keep telling the Plarium support that the Dev’s need to fix this problem, but they keep telling me that i need to clear the browser cache to fix the problem but the problem keep coming up after an 30 minutes to an hour playing after clearing the cache… it’s frustrating that they won’t listen to me at all
they are just giving standard answers back when you confront them with this issue…
Web games like that should delete oldest data when playing to prevent that issue…
As I mentioned, this is a problem that the developer of the game needs to address in order to resolve the problem. This isn’t an issue inherent to Unity or Unity WebGL builds.
i just wan’t confirmation on that it is not the players fault…
Vikings have been running for like 4 - 5 years or so now.
and this thing is still an issue…
and speaking with plarium, the Dev of the game keeps claiming that the fault is on the users side and not theirs…
The only thing left I could think of that could still be the player’s fault would be if your computer physically doesn’t have enough memory installed to run the game.
It is more a dev. prob, because you have to develop the build for a webGL a bit more different than for a mobile. He said, try out the mobile vers. It sounds that he ported the mobile vers. to the webGL vers. in 1:1 . This mostly don´t work well.
Also i have to say, that Unitys webGL is barely OK, but it isn´t that good as other solutions. Even if you optimize your build for webGL, you can run into this probs. And a dev should build it for 32bit, because he want to reach the most users. So its not easy to have good webGL content made by Unity. This is somwhow really sad !
Its clear that the game is poorly handling memory usage. Seems like a memory leak building up over time. So even allocating more memory may not necessarily do more than just increase the time before the game crashes.
The responses there show that the person(s) responding to you know absolutely nothing about development, and just have a list of boilerplate responses that they refused to deviate from, or the person(s) just refuse to address the issue.
In this case, I’d recommend writing a review that explains this, and shows their responses. If they cannot be bothered to respond to you when you try to do them a favor, maybe they will actually address the issue when new players would avoid the game because they see your negative experience as an eventuality for them.
Ty for that response…
well im really bad at making Reviews for games, as im danish and my english is pretty bad, my speaking english is terrible while my typing is better and i use google translate a lot, my understanding when i read english i much much better…
But i allready think that a lot of ppl have done reviews of the game but that is mostly on the mobile app that dos’nt have to many bugs at all.
there is more the 5 mil of players in Vikings so it is odd that they havent listened to any of them…
i have 22weeks and 6days of ingame gametime in this game…
started playing it in the start of January 2017 and this issue have been there all that time…
it’s a shame cause it’s a fun and good war game but that error is taking a good load of all the fun in the game and i almost had it with this…
my mobile playing friends have no problems but i refuse to play games on a mobile…
and i also have spend a huge amount of money on this web account and it can not be bound to a google play account to transfer it to a mobile og tablet device…
Thank god I finally found someone who has the exact same problem as me… I was hoping that maybe you found a solution in the meantime?
I don’t understand much about webGL/javascript/unity stuff…
Well to answer your question, no. there is no workaround of any kind. it’s a game code problem that plarium need to fix before it goes away…
And to be honest, i stopped playing after spending about 9.000 USD on the game, and after this last patch, now this problem is even worse then before…
And telling plarium support that this is a problem is like talking to a closed door.
i have told them about this many times and they kinda don’t get it… so my 9000 USD investment in my town is just one big waste…
Sorry to say…
