A number of bug fixes and adjustments have been popped into the game today with relation to the Boardwalk content.

Significant bug fixes:

* Players who have had problems with Furores kicking them out instead of letting them start should no longer have this problem.

* The Mirror Clues should be displayed properly on the case page.


Significant adjustments:

* There'll now be eight Furores a day, but players are limited to two tickets.

* There's a Furore schedule in the City Hall, so they can be viewed anywhere except Shangri-La.

* An accessory can now be stored almost entirely without complaint with Jonny the cotton candy seller.

* After 40 minutes the Hall of Mirrors will become significantly easier to solve.

* Any players engaging in espionage will now find there's a delay between uses.

* Clues will immediately re-drop after a player finishes the Furore.

* The 'community clue' locations, i.e. the helter skelter, cinema and telescope will potentially change clues with a clue drop, making them worth revisiting.

* It's now only possible to gain one clue at a time from the roller coaster (though you will still have up to three chances to get that one clue).

* If you're the last player standing the big wheel and roller coaster queues will disappear.

* A badly written Furore read me has appeared.

* Furore ticket offers can be turned off from the Options menu on the Detective Page.


As ever please let me know if you spot any bugs/typos. There's good odds I'll be hanging out in chat whilst Furores are going on for the near future, so feel free to drop in there if there's any problems. Happy Sleuthing.

And now the damn clue disappeared!! There's no one else playing! Wtf?!

And then I had two clues disappear during my second furore. One was on the roller coaster. It showed me a clue I didn't have yet but then switched it to one I already had. No clue what happened to the second one, which was a mirror clue. Because I knew I already had both of those I never checked there.

Grrr.

Is it possible to be offered a ticket after solving an IH favour?

May-20-2017 12:54

No Charlie, favours are excluded from ticket offers.

Thanks Yeti.

I just got offered a ticket for a furore that had already started. Thought that might be worth a mention! Is that just because I started the case prior to the furore?

I got kicked back to the log in page twice while sliding down the helter skelter during a furore. Very frustrating :-(

I'm not quite sure why that's happening Mrs. Cullen, but it's not due to when you started the case.

Sorry to hear that Charlie. Is there any chance you're accidentally double clicking the continue button?

May-24-2017 11:48

I don't think so Yeti but it's quite possible. I'll make sure I don't double click in the future. Thanks.

If you got booted off for double clicking you ought to be popped on the map page anyhow, not the login page. Did the login page still have the Sleuth Mail icon in the top right? If you don't know then that's something to look out for next time.
