Happens more than I care to think about...
drop a shield by starting an attack, then the search is running really slow and eventually times out. Restart the game and I've been attacked.
this is mostly annoying, but in wars can be a disaster.
Why not add a simple bandwidth test to let people check if the game can actually handle an attack?
Actually I think the issue here is that the shield drops if you search for an attack regardless of if you attack or not...
I would much rather see that issue fixed which would also fix your issue.
He said in wars also, when your attack cuts out halfway through. I'm not sure how well a bandwidth test would work, my suggestion is just to attack where you have decent signal.Quote:

I do it myself - I use ookla speedtest if I think bandwidth if going to be a problem. thing is, I don't really know what the limit is. it would be such a simple thing to do.
sure - attacking with a great wifi signal is the way to go, but it doesn't always work out.
you can have a good signal and your phone or tablet just stops transmitting or receiving. A bandwidth test will not see that. A bandwidth test is about as useful as poopie flavored lollypop. Sure others will like it, but most will find it useless.
It may cause lag having to test the bandwidth.
You don't necessarily need to be moving around either...sometimes I feel like its on Supercell's end, when the internet/data connection appears to be just fine but the client and server become out of sync.
I've seen it happen plenty. The problem is that is Supercell were to do something like not count attacks when this happened, possibly only if you've deployed a certain % of your army, there would be people who disconnect on purpose because their attacks are going badly.
And you think it would be bad on here...I had something similar happen on an online poker site, and it cost me several hundred dollars. I got into a couple hands against a guy where there was a few hundred dollars in the pot, and I knew after seeing the first few cards that the odds of me winning were like 3:1, so I bet heavily. Well, the other guy didn't want to call because he knew he was behind, but he didn't want to fold either because he was already in pretty deep, so he disconnected on purpose, which meant that he didn't have to match my bet, but that the money he'd already put in was still good. It was if I hadn't made my last bet at all, and the rest of the cards were dealt out as if he was all in, or we were checking it down. I lost a pretty big hand at least once this way, and complained to the people who ran the website. I'm not sure if he ended up getting banned or they ended up changing how they handled these sorts of disconnections, but I am sure I never saw any of that money.
I agree. Why not add a bandwidth test? It would be so convienient. You can just close clash, open your bandwidth test app, and see if your internet connection is good before playing clash! Genius! But how does you wanting a new app on your phone relate to clash?Quote:
