Still getting frequent game crashes (even after update v1.1)

Help? Server OOS error?

Dear Nexon, It seems I can't attack others or (get revenge) after I click on the button 'revenge' or "do battle"I will get an error message saying bad OOS server 'restart the application '. Can you help me to fix this issues? I am playing on my IPad and IPhone5... Both devices has same issues...

The "Revenge" button is working for me, and am not getting such an error message. Are you connecting to the game's server through a (e.g. your) WiFi or your smartphone service provider's network? Try logging out of the game, switching your connection point whichever it may be and then logging back in. If the problem is persisting, by all means follow-up to confirm. Another part of the puzzle may be your device: that is, you're using iOS. I am using an Android device.

If others who reply to this thread would be willing to indicate whether they're a) experiencing this issue and b) running an Android or iOS device, it should help publisher Nexon M/developer Big Huge Games more quickly isolate the cause(s) even if only by process of elimination.

Yes I did, i use iPhone 5s and iPad both running on IOS and I tried both 3g (provider) and Wifi (wireless N) I logged out and logged on, I even turn off and on my devices... Nothing works and subsequently it seems there are more issues with this game to sum up: it crashed a lot, when you clicked/ touched on multi buildings, the animation always takes a while to load or something...In normal campaign sometimes it stutters like its lagging or something or it just crash, especially when spamming your troops. Also my map editor crash a lot and it doesn't save so it is annoying to start over again when just you put down that last road or wall. I feel very frustrated.... To be honest I think the game is still in beta which I spent money on it.. I bought that starter package on the first day when I realize it is a game with depths i.e. history. I believe if this game running smooth it has potential, and will gladly buy your company's stocks lvml but.... Next year problem I gues... Ah well back to law office... Ironically, I thought I could use my holidays like 45 hours to get away from all frustrations and hustle with clients than I got introduced by App Store "Dominations" more frustration at the tip of your fingers but atleast graphics and buildings looking good

 

[DanQ]

Yes, DomiNations is still in beta -- it has not yet been officially released. Reports like yours should help publisher Nexon M and publisher BHG address bugs more quickly than without.

After updated to Dominations V1.1 I thought most of the crashes would be resolved.
Using my iPad, I still get frequent game crashes. It is hard to say what is causing the crashes but it appears to be whilst I am doing actions that require a lot of client load (e.g. Opening up a building's upgrade menu)

 

[DanQ]

Are you receiving any error message(s) with these crashes?

 

[Hyperion]

Are you receiving any error message(s) with these crashes?

No. I don't believe iOS gives an error message for any application crash. In this instance, the application just completely closes.

Crashes often happen after the application has been running for a long time. I've noticed far less crashes by force-restarting the application every ~10 minutes.

I saw an update in my Appstore stating OOS server fix so I installed than opened fast clicked to multiplayer to challenge ppl and yes again OOS message on my screen (both devices IPhone and IPad) Done, here my 2 cents report. Ps: if this is really beta, though you can do in-app purchases? Ain't Beta games suppose to be free from restrictions?

 

[ShadyLion]

I often get crashes while moving a upgrading building around! And as Hyperion said even in android it doesnt give an error when it crashes just "Dominations has crashed" but when it get dc it will give few errors depending on the reason of dc! But still many crashes!

 

[ShadyLion]

They stated that this is beta! But the progress wont wipe so in app purchase is available! A bit odd

That's unfortunate a second time over. (The first being, of course, that the app is crashing in the first place.)

Documenting the nature of any given crash, even if it's to note that no error message(s) were generated, should be of assistance to publisher Nexon M and developer Big Huge Games. I can say that I have experienced very few crashes in the Android version of the game in the few months I have been testing it to date, and none since the last update.

(I will now knock on wood so as not to jinx myself for saying so... )

I am not aware of any prohibition on developers/publishers, of games or otherwise, of having restrictions on any applications available in beta. What can be said for certain is that this is not the case for DomiNations as applied by Apple or Google and their respective digital distribution platforms.

They stated that this is beta! But the progress wont wipe so in app purchase is available! A bit odd

To the best of my knowledge, yes, this is unusual. Still I expect that publisher Nexon M and developer Big Huge Games are using this combination to better 'field test' the game with a larger player-base than they otherwise would.

DanQ my Phone is Sony Xperia Z i never experienced lag in any game but in massive attack it lags somtimes !

 

[+ThohT+]

I see... I meant restrictions i.e. upgrade stuffs without limit at least some levels... e.g. Taking your towncenter to the next age is required a day or two while it is suppose to be beta? Thats abit odd for a beta especially in app purchase... Anw when they are gonna fix that SOO server problem?

So you have experienced lag within the game, but only during combat? If and when this happens again in the future, I recommend reporting it in this forum with as much detail as possible. This would include whether it was SP or MP, what day/time it occurred and a description of how the lag affected the outcome and/or performance of the battle. Given you have already experienced this one more than one occasion, I further suggest that you create a thread that would consolidate such accounts within subsequent posts to consolidate your reporting on like experiences. I expect it would also assist with keeping the topic 'current' within the volume of threads here.

The circumstance you describe is not intended to be a limitation, but rather and expression of an inherent choice in the game. You can choose to rush completion through acquisition of sufficient Crowns through gameplay performance, purchases or combination thereof or wait for its completion through the passage of time. This choice can be one that you make all the time, some of the time or even none of the time should you choose to always rush or always wait. Indications to date are that this structure is to be in place once DomiNations is officially released, expected some time this year.

Anw when they are gonna fix that SOO server problem?

Community Manager Aulia Apprelia had indicated that she and her co-workers would be on Christmas Holiday up to and including New Year's Day. I expect in the coming week they and those at developer Big Huge Games will resume their efforts including addressing errors such as they one you have identified.

I expect that OOS in the error refers to "Out of Sync". If so, then what is liking occurring is that one part of the game is expecting a response from another part and not receiving it; in turn, the program recognizes that it not able to continue and terminates itself while generating an "OOS" error to the user in the process.

To provide some better insight, the Network Connection Error and the Server OOS Error present two possibly different issues. The latest iOS update was meant to address any issues resulting in Network Connection Error notifications. Can you confirm if the frequency of the Network Connection Error issue has improved since the most recent update?

Per many player posts on the forums. the OOS error issue seems to still be affecting many players, and the game team continues to work towards stabilizing and improving the game to address this. Thanks for your feedback, everyone!

@Aulia Apprelia : okay so im using android Phone : Sony Xperia Z [ Android Version : 4.4.4 , Model Number : C6603 ] i dont lag in other games similiar too Dominations or even with higher graphics . But i do get lags a bit and Lots of Crashes ! random ones : Touching a constructing building .. In loading screens .. During battle is the worst thoe ! Can you somehow do a thing that when a player gets dissconnected or crashed in a battle the remaining troops attack on their own without any usage of ability's atleast this way if its a sure victory we wont get a battle lost ! its pretty annoying !

Hey @Aulia and @ShadyLion. I'm in a similar situation to you, I've got a Sony Xperia Z, Android obviously. Same version/model. Same situations - get a lot of game crashes. Sometimes it give me the "Send Report" which I always do, and fill in the description (do those get to the development team?) also I get several that simply don't do anything but chuck me back out to the home screen with no option to report.
I do love this game, and I'm persisting, but it is getting harder, especially as ShadyLion says in battles where it seriously impacts gameplay.
Happy to help further if I can, let me know if there is anything I can do.
