Prevent reconnecting as spectator instead of player
When you disconnect from the game (which currently happens quite a lot), it says something like “Internet connection lost. Please reload the page.” If I do that, I often end up as a spectator in the game instead of myself. It usually works with the second try. Please prevent that from happening so you don’t lose important time on your turn.

Ian Stainthorp MergedMy game began running slowly so I altered the resolution and antialias settings from the side settings icon. When I refreshed I was added to a totally different game as a spectator. When I left that game I tried to press reconnect on my actual game and it wouldn't do anything. I tried clearing cash and history etc too - the issue remained.

WoodPirate MergedIn Just in the last week if my interent connection interrupts during a game, I refresh my browser and it beings me back in as a spectator every time - I have now gone from 20/20 karma to 17/20 karma because of this. I have not been able to complete any of my last four games.

Shadow7 MergedRecently, I have noticed that I have been getting disconnected more often. I noticed that when I refresh the tab it rejoins me as a spectator.

Shadow7 Merged*Ideally it should rejoin them with control as a player and not as a spectator

Jonathan MergedI have observed this too. I need to close the browser tab and wait a few seconds before rejoining.

C MergedYou know what Im talking about. Then by the time I figure out Im a spectator in another order, my turn is over and the next guy rolls a 7 and I get robbed.

Golden_Ember MergedWhen I lose connection and try to refresh my page, I return as a spectator. I can't rejoin the game. I keep losing karma because of it. :-(

EsqarrouthHi! I played a game and the page crashed. As usual I just refreshed it to get back on it. The game would just let me get back in as an spectator, even though I was logged in. “It’s Said’s turn” // “Said joined as an spectator”. And the bot never began to…work as a bot. After about 10 minuted my friends told me the bot was finally responding, so I logged back in and suddenly the game recognized me again as a player and I took over the bot. I lost of course. But now my karma marks as if I had left…even after actually finishing the game. I logged in via google with my username is saido and I play on google chrome and microsoft explorer
