The release notes for TH14 included a section on fixed bugs (first time we have seen this from SuperCell as far as I can remember) which is great, but…

I noticed there are a lot of ancient bugs affecting clash of clans that didn’t get fixed so I thought the time is right to create a nice bundled list of ancient bugs that have never been fixed hoping that it might catch supercell’s attention.

I’ll start things off with my shortlist:

(I’m sure there are some other big ones lurking out there that I left out – what am I missing?)

##### #1 : CC Donations Not always going through
This has been around since at least 2014. The full root cause is unknown, but a common scenario is donating troops, seeing that the CC request shows the troops were donated, then logging out of the game too quickly. The end result is that the requester never received the troops, but their CC request is gone from clan chat, and they have to wait out the CC request cooldown period before they can re-request and get the troops they need. Sometimes the missing troops show up later, sometimes they don’t.

##### #2 : Players on CWL Roster Always Show Up As “I’m In” For War After Being Kicked
This has been a problem since the inception of clan war league. The scenario: you have someone in your clan who’s in-game war preference setting is set to “I’m Out”. They are included on your master clan war roster. As soon as they leave the clan for any reason, their in-game war preference setting suddenly switches to showing “I’m In” giving the impression they want into war. Since it’s not obvious from the screen where you can swap CWL participants on and off the daily rosters whether someone has left the clan, this problem makes it very easy to accidently add someone to a daily war roster who shouldn’t be added.

##### #3 : Wrong War Base Is Selected Because Of Object Selection Problems
This bug has existed since the dawn of clan war. It’s too easy to inadvertently select the wrong base on a war map for certain pairs of bases, especially if the bottom of the two bases has been attacked (which expands the selectable base icon to include the star count above it). Tapping on the bottom half of the town hall of the base you want to select inadvertently selects the base below it. The pairs of bases that this happens on is: 5 & 7, 10 & 12. In a 30v30, there are more like this in the bottom 15. Here’s an example with developer option “show touches” enabled on the device so you can see that despite the screen taps being in the correct place, the wrong base is being selected:

Incidentally, this bug just affected an attacker during CWL in one of the clans I participate in. It resulted in us missing out on a perfect war.

##### #4: Unexplained Delay Between CWL War Rounds
This has been around since the dawn of clan war leagues. For some unexplained reason, there will be a huge delay between finishing one CWL war and the start of the next CWL war. Sometimes it’s minutes, sometimes it’s hours. There’s no reason this should happen, and the problem can be compounding: ie it’s only 30 minute delay between war 1 & 2, but 60 minute delay between war 2 & 3, 90 minute delay between war 3 & 4, etc. We once had a 7 hour delay between the end of war 6 and the beginning of war 7. I think this is also responsible for causing the delay some people experience receiving their CWL medals rewards after the end of CWL.
