Greetings, I'm reposting this warning to all to be aware of a "bug" that I experienced last season in GBG. Our guild had experienced lags since the very open of GBG. On day 2, around noon, right before the next round of tiles opened. I experienced a very significant lag. So much so that I exited FOE and logged back in to see if would help. It did only slightly. In the GBG Map, I opened the Guild Overview. Both the FOE Guild Activity window and FOE Helper GBG Overview opened. By having both open, I discovered a guildmate's name had been changed. I first thought it was a new member that I missed, but after checking it was in fact a guildmate with a 5 letter name that had been changed to Backgammon (see attachment).
I looked further, despite the heavy lag, and found six player's names had somehow been altered. 2 had completely dif names; 1 had the last letter dropped from their name; 3 more had first or last letters changed. Scrolling through the two apps seemed to make the lag worse and I reset my PC. After the restart the names listed in FOE Helper were will incorrrect. I shut my PC down for 15 to 20 mins, at which time the correct names wre now listed in FOE Helper.
I contacted FOE Helper and was informed that FOE Guild Overview has a known issue and the name changes originated from FOE. I contacted INNO and they replied: "This is a programming issue the developers are aware of and are working on, but we do not have a resolution timeframe as of yet.
This is not limited to your guild or your world."
I dont believe the issue is resolved but rather the names were refreshed. I'm also unclear how the names were changed in the first place. Please be aware of this situation if u experience lags during GBG.
