Screen goes mostly black during fight

Post by Mino »

After updating, I noticed this bug where in a fight, the screen goes black except where the enemy is.
It goes back to normal afterwards, or if I exit and then continue the game.

Here are my possibly relevant preference settings:
Fullscreen: off
Scaling factor: normal
Optimized drawing: off
Confirm attack: off
Monster loot: always show loot dialog box
Combat speed: instant
Virtual d-pad: disabled
Enable animations: off

What is your hardware and your Android version? Those can be factors also, that can help the devs figure out the problem

Good point, forgot about that.
I'm on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon CDMA version).
When it first started happening I was on Android 4.2.2 (JDQ39), and over the weekend updated to 4.3 (JWR66V) but it was happening over both versions so I don't think the update did anything.

Thank you for reporting this Mino, is this a new problem since V7 was put out to market?

I hope you are still able to play.

It happened after I downloaded the official update from the Play Store. I can still play, it usually goes back to normal after the fight ends, or if not then I can just exit to the menu and then continue and it's back to normal.

O.O That is no good! I'm sorry that you are experiencing this problem. I will be sure to let the Dev team know and we will try to fix this asap. Sorry for any inconvenience Mino (can you tell that i am at work right now? :lol: )

It's not that bad, it doesn't usually last long. I noticed the same thing happened on my tablet (Nexus 7) but since I use the same save files between the two devices, it could just be because of that.

Do you think it might have something to do with a save file being corrupted?

Hi, I'm not sure if this has been figured out yet, so I'll add to it in hopes that it helps. I get that same black battle screen after the most recent update. It doesn't happen every time, but it does happen a lot. I'll try to pay attention to if it has anything to do with who attacks first, how quick the battle ends or if there are any drops.

I read what Pyrizzle said about save file corrupted, so I started a new game. I went through the dialogue, went and got the bread, then went to attack the rats. It happened on the first rat I attacked, so I don't think it's the saved game file itself.

I'm using a Nexus 7
Going into Tablet Properties it shows: Android version 4.3 (kernel 3.1.10-g1e8b3d8, build number JWR66V) (I don't know what info is needed/relevant so I apologize if it's too much/little)
Going into Apps and looking at Android System it shows: version 4.3-737497
Andor's Trail version 0.7.0

Preferences:
Fullscreen (checked)
Scaling factor - Double size
Optimized drawing (unchecked)
Confirm rest (unchecked)
Confirm attack (checked)
Display monster loot - Always show loot dialog box
Confirm overwriting savegames - Always show confirmation dialog box
Combat speed - Instant (no animations)
Movement method - Straight (original)
Virtual d-pad - Disabled
Minimizable d-pad (checked)
Enable animations (checked)
Quickslot position - Center bottom
Show quickslots when toolbox is opened (unchecked)

If there are any settings you'd like me to change or whatever to try to help/troubleshoot just let me know.

BTW - Exceptional game!!!! Thanks so much to everyone who puts their time and effort into it!!
I've recommended this game to many people and they all love it. (and of course I get to look good for suggesting it to them haha)
