Opening rack changes letters right b4 yr eyes

I was staring at a Z in my first rack when all of a sudden all the letters changed themselves. As soon as I mentioned it in the chat, the other player played a word then the game ended.

@lolamoth Sounds like the glitch that happens when the system places you in two games at the same time. The one you can't see gets deleted when you don't play and can mess up the one you're currently viewing. It will sometimes kick you out and look like the game's suddenly ended. Just refresh the page and it should sort itself out. You'll be placed back in the correct game.

@lolamoth, in the transition form V1 to V2, that did happen to me a few times, but never knowing in advance that it would, i had no before and after screen shots so never mentioned it. It has not happened in a while now.

Yes, I agree with Dan. This bug is also annoying because it can be confusing about whom you're talking to, and I assume that one opponent thinks you sat until it timed out.

@jrp32 I can confirm that it's still happening. It's not that common, but the loophole if you like is still there. Not sure exactly what sets it off. Seems to be some kind of timing issue that kicks in when you accept a request and there are other pending requests. Or possibly when you accept a request and suddenly you're thrown into a game with an app player who can always get in uninvited. System gets confused and both games get activated simultaneously.

Yeah, it messes the chat up plus it's not a good look when you seemingly waste people's time and get the game deleted. Very annoying when you have no control over the matter. If you ever get one of these ghost players, have a little sympathy for them as it's likely they're playing the other table. Plus, they might be about to get temporarily kicked from their current game lol.

@Dan I am glad to know i did not just "imagine it".

@jrp32 It still happens and it is not just the opening rack
