ISSUE1
When logging in to the game today through “test flight” (I’m on iOS), an error pops up preventing any further action.
The error states:
“Build expired on 2023-04-08, update to a newer version!”

There are no updates available for either polytopia or test flight.
I have deleted and re-installed the game and test flight several times without any success.

ISSUE2
I have faces another issue that might be related or not.
Before I joined the beta testing, I have bought the tribes Polaris, and Zebasi.
When I became a beta tester, I had no extra tribes unlocked (only standard ones) and I had to buy one to be able to play multiplayer with friends.
Hence I bought Hoodrick and Cymanti.
Before issue1 mentioned above occurred, I didn’t have the tribes I bought before I became a beta tester.

If I delete the test flight and play the original polytopia, I don’t have the tribes I bought during beta testing, but I have Zebasi and Polaris.

#

Might be something for @wanton pond to check?:)

@sharp solstice @bronze wraith

What version are you using?

#

I can say that iOS Testflight removes your purchases, but gives them back to you for free, you just have to go through the steps of buying them again

#

So, that's normal

#

And, if you leave the beta, you lose your free tribes

sharp solstice
#

@wanton pond Version 2.6.0 (10381) which is the latest version available.

Gives back for free?
So if I try and buy the tribes I had before I became a beta tester, I will get them again for free?

#

I have bought 2 tribes after I became beta tester, and for them I had to buy for real gold. Same as the one before beta testing

#

I haven’t been able to play Polytopia since yesterday :/
Would appreciate some help with the 2 issues.
Thx

wanton pond
#

You still "bought them", it's just that Testflight plays by different rules concerning monetization

wanton pond
#

Ironically, the 2.6 one is for esports, which hasn't been updated in a while. The latest is the 2.5, with the skins

#

Same goes for @bronze wraith

#

At some point, we'll release another 2.6 and move on frmom 2.5, but that's not right now

sharp solstice
#

Before beta:
I bought Zebasi and Polaris.

During beta:
I bought Hoodrick and Cymanti

Before issue1 occurred, I only had Hoodrick and Cymanti available during beta.

If I leave beta, I only have Zebasi and Polaris.
Is there no way I can use all 4 tribes that I have purchased at the same time?

#

Ok, so issue1 is “solved” by leaving beta?

#

I will try and change built to 2.5

# sharp solstice Before beta: I bought Zebasi and Polaris. During beta: I bought Hoodrick and Cy...

So, technically, you didn't "buy" Hoodrick and Cymanti on your account.

Testflight, as part of its beta testing powers, allows you to "purchase" tribes, but waives the fee. When you join the beta, it grabs your normal purchases and places them "over there" as it makes you a new "Testflight version of your account", and all the "purchases" you make on Testflight are part of that account. When you leave the beta, it shelves all your "Testflight purchases" and gives you back your pre-Testflight purchases

Does that make sense?

#

The idea here is for testing. It's not going to make you spend money for something that could potentially be buggy, so Testflight waives the fee, but only when you're on Testflight. Normally, these beta would be opening and closing as testing demands, but Midjiwan just keeps the Testflight open all the time

#

Hmm, so I wasted my money on the 2 tribes I bought during beta? Doesn’t really make sense, but I guess I have to re-buy them again when I leave beta :/

#

Available versions:

2.6.0 (1 build)
2.4.7 (1 build)
2.4.6 (1 build)
2.4.5 (2 builds)

I've literally never heard of Testflight actually charging anyone. It's their policy to give you stuff for free, even if it says it's charging you. (it says at the bottom of the charging prompt that it waives the fee)

sharp solstice
#

That link takes me to a download link for testflight(which I already have and used for the beta)
I can also download the latest version 2.6.0(10381)

wanton pond
#

Hmmm, okay, it must be a different beta branch

#

Hold on

#

Because ironically, 2.6 isn't the proper, latest branch. 😛

sharp solstice
#

Well, I can buy tribes if I launch Polytopia from test flight, which I did recently and got charged^^
🙂

wanton pond
#

Can you show me purchase receipts?

#

As Testflight explicitly states it won't charge anyone

sharp solstice
#

Well it is not possible now due to issue1:P

wanton pond
#

(you can DM me that for privacy)

sharp solstice
#

I can check 🙂 bought them some time ago. Give me some minutes.
Sure I’ll DM you:) thx

wanton pond
#

Apple should keep records of all purchases

sharp solstice
#

The link still takes me to a download link to the version 2.6.0(10381)

wanton pond
#

Hmmmm, so many links

#

Trying to find the right one is hard. 😛

sharp solstice
#

🙂

#

Doesn’t seem to find any of the 4 purchases from Polytopia.
I can check by buying a new tribe, as soon as issue1 is solved:)

#

Will check more tomorrow, getting late for me

#

The picture is the links you gave me.

Thanks

bronze wraith
#

My issue is I can’t play

#

Like it tells me the version is expired but I can’t update my game

sharp solstice
#

And here are the current versions and build:

#

Hmm, yeah, I know how to fix this, I just can't seem to find the 2.5.0 link

#

Essentially, 2.6 and 2.5 are separate testing branches, one for esports and one for skins, respectively.

sharp solstice
#

Alright

wanton pond
#

The 2.5 is the one being worked on currently, so it gets updates. 2.6 has not gotten an update in a while

#

Hence why 2.6 expired

sharp solstice
#

Make sense, weird that I can’t see 2.5 though

wanton pond
#

I think you have to use the proper link to join it

#

But like, it's always confusing. So many links

sharp solstice
#

I get it:)
No rush, but maybe this is a problem for more users? Maybe isolated to iOS

#

I have searched all history for apple purchases.
It seems that you were right since I can’t see the history for Cymanti and Hoodrick, seems like I wasn’t charged 🙂 I do however want to test this when issue1 is solved, just to be sure

#

But issue2 seems to be ok for now

wanton pond
#

🙂

random raptor
#

I am iOS and have the same problem. It says the build is expired

bronze wraith
#

So what do I do to fix this

sharp solstice
#

Wait until Zoythrus finds the link for the correct version 🙂
@wanton pond , this seems to be a global problem for all iOS users

There is currently no public beta going, the app store version is the latest release. There will be a new beta on the main beta track as soon as we sort out some additional issues
