i am trying to upgrade champions and keep having to refresh to get reports and resend my champ to kill undeads

Do we still need to clear cache and refresh every 5 minutes?

How do we update the Desktop App, or is it fully automatic?

Can you still open the game in a browser if you want to with the app downloaded.

More than happy to give the app a try if it still leaves you the options open. But don't want to be forced to use it,if I don't like it.

I tried the download.

It doesn't seem any faster or slower. I guess it does give the game a future after Flash dies so that is a very good thing.

Also I was getting 15 second champion time for about 10 mins. Don't know if that was app related or just a server problem. Also noted that in the last couple of hours of the last comp, there was a 30min period of 15 seconds. Must have messed up the rankings significantly for those not online at the time.

I have found it does play better but why are we not allowed to accept friend requests  on the app not sure what else but being a marshal I have new players when asked why they don't accept friend request they ask where to do that I looked closer and sure enough no little  2heads icon at the top.

Hello!

How can you call this an app?

Its just a stripped down browser

I'm guessing the app was created to give them extra time to get a working alternative.   Flash is not scheduled for burial until December 2020 if I remember correctly.  Most browsers from what I've read will have stopped support long before then.   If Plarium doesn't get the new engine ready by the time the last decent browser drops Flash support for good, and I've not come across any information yet that leads me to believe that they will, the app will probably be the only way to access Stormfall in 2020.

I wonder if their problems stem not from getting a working engine, but getting the engine to accept the current player data for carryover.  It won't surprise me if they one day come out and say SF will continue, but will require a complete wipe.

I offer a different opinion on the last part, you will be given some sort of 'bonus' incentive to start on the mobile version. The browser will die off.

After all that the is the focus of the parent company.

So all updates for the App need to be downloaded and manually installed .... and we need to find the hidden browser cache files and manually delete them all?

Anything that my anti virus flag get a no go on my computer. Even its a "false negative". In case of Plarium its their responsibility to make sure their software doesn't get flagged by anti virus and maleware detection out there. 

If you not careful with such you might end up be some bit coin mining drone for someone....

I use lightshot that came with windows 10 for my screenshots, and the instructions to take the HAR file are on this forum and the facebook Stormfall community page as well, I have seen players use their phones to take a video feed of the game while it is having a bug attack, but the HAR file, if you can get that while your game is having a bug attack is much better as it allows the tech's to find the bug a lot faster so they can fix it, hope this helps

Ty I will give it a try then. 

Experienced quite a bit of lag on the Champs tourni what with all the battler reports and "champ is home" messages.

** and what are these "alts" you talk of :)  ***

Most notification messages such as unit send notifications and units returning notifications can be toggled on or off in settings.  I recommend playing around with them a bit to see if lag is reduced, at least during champ tournaments.

so we have gone from a broken browser game to a broken app?

seriously you cannot blame our computers all the time because some days it works fine others its a chore to log because of the lag and freezing 

after a few days of frustration it magically works again .... without doing anything to my own computer

its becoming more trouble than its worth to log & seriously if Plarium was honorable they would have just ended the game a long time ago since they are not interested in maintaining a bug free game 

Maybe your computer is just really moody and doesn't feel like working some days :P 

But yes, sometimes plarium's servers have problems.  They usually seem to get fixed fairly quickly though.

We have not been given any information about this App - pure guesswork at every turn
