Issues with Drawful & Fibbage

[ecore509]

Having a technical issue with both Drawful & Fibbage. Part way through round 1 on each game, each connected device gets hung up on the Drawful / Fibbage graphic while the game continues to play on without us. Trying to refresh the browsers on our phones & log back into the game room still takes us to the game graphic / no buttons. I've also tried closing all the way out of TJPP & starting a fresh game, but each time gets to the same spot & leaves our phones hanging. YDKJ, Lie Swatter, and Word Spud all work just fine & let us get through the entire game every time without fail. Running a Windows 7 PC, made sure there are no programs / firewalls blocking TJPP (have all the necessary ports opened). All 3 phones are iPhones running either iOS 7 or 8, all getting hung up at the same exact time (for example, we can only get through the first word in Fibbage before it gets stuck on the Fibbage logo for eveyrone). Any help, thoughts, or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Update 12/28 12:03 AM PST:
Still having the same issues. After countless other ideas trying to see if it's my wifi that's the problem, decided to test using our phones over 3G instead, and we still get the problem (at least in Fibbage) where after the first word both devices are stuck on the Fibbage logo with the game continuing (and a frustrated Cookie mad because we're not picking things haha). Attempted uninstalling / reinstalling and still get the same end results.

I have similar problems with Fibbage as well as Drawful.
I'm running Fibbage on a laptop with Win 7 64bit and we were using smartphones with Android and iOS. Since we are usually able to finish the first round a good workaround seems to create new room after every round. This can prevent the game from disconnecting the phones.

Drawful always disconnects after the first drawing which makes it unplayable.

I tested this with several different phones and tablets and with different WiFi's but apparently the netcode of this game just sucks.

What region are you in and what is your Internet Service Provider?

[Mr. Anderson]

Germany and we played using Telekom and Kabel Deutschland as ISP.
Fibbage usually works better than Drawful. I've actually never managed to complete a round of Drawful.

Can I make a request that the option be added so that the game can only be started by the person running it on steam, rather than the votes of players?

Are you still having the the same issues?

Thats is a feature we are working on for all games. For example, Quiplash can only be started by the first player in the lobby. It's unlikely that we could patch it into TJPP but this option will be in all of our new games

No idea. I haven't played for quite a while. Might do some testing in the next couple of days.
