We have still not quite figured out what is happening. In order to get to the bottom of this we will turn on a more detailed logging on the life server shortly (this will require a sort downtime of 5-10 minutes). The logging will reduce the performance further but will hopefully give us some cues exactly where things are going wrong.
Please do send through any exceptions (via the option on the error screen) you encounter as with the extensive logs we will be able to reevaluate these errors in much greater detail.
Sorry again for not being able to give you an ETA just yet.
Good luck Team WW – fix it good!
Funny thing is I got that error for the first time today, but I had seen a lot of other people complaining about it. Hope it goes well, good luck!

Not sure if this error is related, but I just joined game #44393 and going to that game gives me this error:
“Error Parsing /tips.xhtml: Error Traced[line: 28] The element type “b” must be terminated by the matching end-tag “</b>”.”
Hope these are the last of them, so you guys get a break from bug fixing soon :)
This one is actually a simple html typo (embarrassing but simple)… fixing now. Expect another short 5 minute down time shortly.
I’ve got the same problem than Lux in game #44390
Awesome, glad to see it’s fixed so fast!
The model unit bug seems to be fixed. But we have a hunch that it may raise its ugly head again once the servers have been running for some time again. It seems to be one of those that only strikes after several hours of uptime. We are keeping an eye on it but for now you should be able to enjoy a worry free game of Weewar once more.
@Lux and @Dinoboff: That one is definitely fixed now.
seems really slow this morning.
Fellas, this is so slow. A move that should have taken 30 seconds, took 10 minutes. What’s up? Can you fix it? It’s been over a week now. Sometimes OK, sometimes really bad. There’s a lot of paying customers now.
the game in question is called Madlands and you can find it here http://battleground2.weewar.com/game/44664/9hJXEsLSe0Is
the first bug was for my opponent: he noticed that his heavy artillery disappeared.
the second bug was for me: two of my units (hovercraft and light infantry) are unmovable, like i had moved them during this turn, even though i had not.
It’s just getting worse and worse.
This game, for me, is about a quick work day distraction. When a move takes 2 minutes, cancels, then requires another move I’ve doubled the time I spent previously.
I think at this point things need to rollback, get fixed, or start offering refunds for the people who put up prepaid subscriptions.
Offering things like pro-extensions is great, but not fixing the problems and always having new ones pop up counters all of that.
I’m experiencing problems since yesterday to login…Always receive the message of maintenance (gears being oiled…)…Is it only to me?
It’s not just you Wolfman
We are still in the process of resolving these issues. Right now it is down to each server running way beyond its maximum load. Since we were not able to reduce the processing requirements of Weewar we will be adding several new servers shortly so that each will hopefully be able to cope with the reduced load.
As for pro players – we are not keen on keeping anybody’s money without delivering the service. But we would certainly hope that people bear with us a little longer. We are committed to make up for this and work hard on fixing the situation.
J.Shirley: The pro accounts r like 4$ per month and you want a refund? Where r you writing from, Scotland? ;)
Keep up the good work WW guys.
luckymustard mentioned above that his opponent noticed a unit disappeared. I thought it was just me and I was losing my mind, but I had two units disappear in this game- http://battleground4.weewar.com/game/44374
My opponent even agreed he thought I had units there, confirming I haven’t completely lost it. :) Not trying to pile on here, just thought you should be aware of it.

I click a unit, tell it to do something and get stuck with the “processing” message. I reload the site, and come back to find that the unit I was working with is not not selectable (it’s greyed out like I’ve already done something with it) but it hasn’t done what I told it to do!
This is really irritating Ñ the other guy’s beserkers don’t die by themselves, you know. Perhaps a bit more testing of future updates?
