Blackout Glitch happening on Candy Crush

Sometimes I do see it, sometimes it likely pops up but I miss it. It is really odd sometimes I can post something then on edit, a simple typo fix, it completely vanishes. It can be very strange.

Thanks for the info.

I am an application developer with a state/provincial level government. We are also on the smaller end so we don't have quality assurance teams to check for and deal with testing/bugs.

Basically the developers have to do thorough testing, support, bug fixing, etc. We also have good communication between teams which allows us to see bugs and solutions we might not have run into.

Basically the process for me is to draw upon what I have seen or dealt with, stuff that could be possible, then I just start tossing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks... or the issue resolves itself with no code change, it is not exactly encouraging when that happens and it is shocking how often it does.

Beyond that been "gaming" since the Atari 2600, must have been like 5 or 6 at the time. Family also had an 8088 (cheaper than the 8086 but still a couple grand).

To simplify what I was saying a bit. Basically when you are online it is quite likely your device sends updates to the King servers with what you have completed. There would be some back and forth between your device and the server.

What likely happened in your case is you completed the level so you got the black overlay while your device would reload the map with the completed level. For some reason either what you sent was not full received by King or what their servers send back did not reach you so your game effectively got stuck.

Later it is likely they have a process to make sure all those type of processes have completed. Their severs then send the correct update back to your device and you could move on. This additional check is usually not done right away since it would slow everything down and would be down at a quite time for internet traffic and as a group with any other ones that might be needed for other users.

The fact it did not simply drop you at the map with the level incomplete is odd and why I thought it was a graphical issues at first. Of course to be fair King does nothing normally haha.
