#Critical issue with the cookie management button on mobile (UI conflict + game-breaking behavior)

Hi team,

I’m encountering a two-part issue on mobile related to the cookie management button:

  1. UI issue (minor but annoying):
    On mobile, the cookie management button is placed in the bottom-left corner, which overlaps with the slider to set troop deployment percentage. This makes it really difficult to select small percentages, as the button captures input in that area.

  2. More critical bug during gameplay:
    Several times, I’ve accidentally tapped that button mid-game. This opens the cookie settings pop-up. Since I usually click "refuse cookies" by habit, it leads to a major issue:

  • I remain connected to the game,
  • But the “Game is starting…” screen keeps popping up regularly,
  • The game becomes unplayable: sending troops stops responding, there are freezes and interruptions,
  • The only way to fix it is to refresh the entire page.

Here’s a screenshot showing the bug (with the starting screen appearing even though the game is already in progress).

Thanks in advance for looking into this, and great job on the game overall!

Quick follow-up after some testing: I was able to reproduce the bug quite easily, and I’ve attached a video to demonstrate it.

From what I can tell, the issue seems to happen specifically when switching cookie preferences — either from “Allow” to “Refuse” or the other way around. That switch appears to be the trigger that causes the “Game is starting…” popup to reappear multiple times during an ongoing match.

It doesn't seem to matter if you initially allowed or refused — the moment you change your choice, the game starts acting up.

Hope the video helps clarify the behavior!

Reproduced this on my side too, in Chrome on mobile

#

Seems like something that needs attention from the devs as it's kind of game breaking

only happens on mobile?

(if that one has the same cause of course)

It'll be fixed (for now?) by moving the button to top-right where chances of misclicking during gameplay are smaller ig
