Me vs Me

SuddenWizard76

I ended up getting matched up against myself? Is this supposed to happen? The opponent me was a bot.

Hi @SuddenWizard76!

You had this issue:

It is not a bot🤖 or a "bot" or another yourself or anything! 😄

It is a well known issue and I can explain it to you, but give me some hours because I am now out and cannot have a so good connection!

I can answer you when I'll be back at home! 🙂

I’ve just had the issue for a second time.

Hi again @SuddenWizard76!

let's explain the "play against myself" issue:

It happens when your device has not enough memory to load your opponent's picture and name, or if there is connection problem between the two opponents, (being in two different locations in the world), through the game servers.

This problem can have two results:

1. It seems that you play against yourself! This happens if no opponent image exists in your device's memory!
2. It seems that you play against the same opponent for several matches in a row. This happens if there is already in your device's memory your previous opponent's pic, but your current opponent's pic cannot be loaded! In this case your opponent's name sometimes is loaded, so it seems that you play against multiple opponents having the same user pic!

If it happens on different devices, it is a general communication issue between the two opponents through the game's servers, as I described before and not local device issue! 😉

It’s going to be the game servers then, I’ve got tonnes of memory on my iPhone 12

Yes, but you don't know about your opponent (location, device, internet connection's quality) or maybe your internet provider's issues! I have sometimes temporary issues because of my provider or my location. 😉

I have no idea 'cause I have never seen it during my Royal Championship gameplay. Maybe @Nikolaos_Prodromidis could answer this.

Hi @Keda1915!

This is not anything important! It is just a well known memory issue! It happened to me several times!

Let me explain:

It happens when your device has not enough memory to load your opponent's picture and name, or if there is connection problem between the two opponents, through the game's servers.

This problem can have two results:

Hi @beanie904!

Your question is about the option of boosters' purchase?

It is a feature that came long before for a short time and then left!

A lot of players were asking for this feature to come back and yes, it is here!

May I suppose that your opinion is different? If you want we can discuss about it!
