normally there would only be one ads at the bottom of the screen but recently i have seen up to 4 ads stacking on top of each other and covering the board. this happens during multiplayer games, zen and even tl matches. lost many matches because of this

same problem. three ads

#

have you restarted your client perhaps?

#

also supporter has an ad block choice if I remember

#

if youre using desktop, you can head to config to disable ads

#

i know it doesnt solve the issue

#

but its a temporary fix

#

fixes lag too

#

(in my experience anyway)

tender crater
#

and ofc there's just toggling them off on the desktop client

#

but i still don't know if this happens on desktop to begin with

Ingame ads are being repeated and extended, covering the board

they said ads were showing up in TL even with desktop client

Another issue report by @vocal holly (#1178023280590979162 ) pankeater

tepid sable
#

ad issues have been reported a decent bit recently

#

i’ve had to disable ads from desktop because i repeatedly got this ad that would border the whole screen and render every screen element unclickable for some reason

#

i don’t have recordings of this but ads seem to have been buggy or overzealous in what they do in general

tepid sable

#

i regret trying to close the ad

I'm noticing that even with ads disabled, the screen often gets bars on the top and bottom that block UI elements, including buttons for spectating games and exiting out of a room.

Turning it off in-game

sage tangle
#

Do you use tetrio+?

bleak dune
#

It doesn't happen very often, but it seems like in some cases it still tries to display ads and just puts up blank boxes.

#

No, just the main desktop client.

sage tangle
#

Huh strange

#

It might be worth making a new issue report with screenshot and details about this

bleak dune
#

Will do, when it happens again.

#

I haven't seen it do it today, but it did for a while last night after I turned the ads off.

tender crater
#

yeah i've genuinely never heard of the game letterboxing itself

it's always the damn discover ad for me

#

also sometimes the same ad will cause the game to go out of focus and when i click back it won't refocus

#

ohh it's a combination of another bug where i HAVE to send a blank message in chat to refocus the game

how tf do you play without seeing the queue? turn on hear next piece???

wicked holly
#

this is not an issue of stacking ads, but is this ad placement intentional or a temporary fix?
in multiplayer the banner ads appear right next to the two boards making it distracting having moving pictures constantly right next to your area of focus
but uh... at least you can see the boards?

woeful charm
#

we're experimenting with new placements that have less impact on the actual gameplay, this placement allows the game to not need to be resized down & stay further away from your board in general
can agree w/ the distraction tho, will note

okay but that would actually be pretty funny

#

hoping to god this gets fixed (together with the related out of focus thing) because this has to be by far the worst bug for players in the game rn

tender crater
#

yeah osk really ought to reinstate that bad ad detection thing or cut them off entirely, i know he was with a troubled ad provider and i can't imagine if they're still using it that this is worth it

woeful charm
#

this is a problem with every single ad stack ive been using lol

#

this ad stack's different from EG's, they changed from their own stack to Playwire's

#

which fixed some issues and created others

#

but ads just randomly taking over pages or being laggy or breaking focus is not new and a thing with every single ad provider sadly

#

i can bring these things up with them ofc, but the real solution is either supporter sales increase by +300%, or i add other monetization, and i can consider dropping ads

#

it is not economically possible by a LONG shot right now to drop ads

#

if i reasonably could i would, ads ruin any UI and im a ui design nut

#

but im already operating at a loss right now droidsmile

#

(not in any financial trouble or anything, just spending a lot on cool things, youll see)

#

(but i would be if i dropped ads, you see)

tender crater
#

didn't you have some naughty ad mitigation they asked you to remove early on?

i removed that because it stopped functioning

and would just delete every ad lol
