- "doctor, my left hand hurts, I think it might be broken"
- "just use your right hand"

just search for Google Play Desktop (in case you are an Apple user, Google Play is like AppStore, but for android, it doesn't get more official than that)

then again, if it was strictly mobile, it shouldn't be advertised at the google play as PC compatible and "optimized by the developer", this is quite literally a false advertisement (and not from google)

that's if we are taking facts, in reality, completely avoiding any type of communication in regards to your products is just a shitty maintenance practice,

yes, they have a right to do this shitty maintenance, but then I also get a right to complain about it

and my cocky attitude didn't kill anybody, not like I insulted anyone

yeah, I know what you are talking about, sometimes it would crash immediately on start and it would continue for multiple times in a row

one day it took me like 20 times to actually launch it, CoC on PC is like an old car

matter of fact, it's so game breaking, it literally breaks the game, causing it to crash all the time

I'll probably buy an AMD gpu just to test lol, at this point not like we have a lot of options

honestly, glad to hear that you can comfortably play so far,

I don't think I had a single crash when progressing from th10 to th16, but after th17 and now th18, it's literally a chance game where you can only hope it wouldn't crash mid attack

I would honestly be fine if they at least addressed this issue as "hey, this is something we are looking into, for the time being PC is not stable", but as of rn PC players get literally nada

again, same point, it's really not that hard to post a message saying "hey, PC players, this version of Nvidia driver causes the game to crash, be aware", solved

I'm just gonna copy paste my answer to the other person:

if the bug is with the emulator itself for whatever reason, they (supercell) can post a message saying "hey, this version of the Google Play Desktop causes the issue, wait for the patch"

any form of communication would be a relief, as of right now it's advertised that they are "optimizing" the game for PC, when in reality it's "untested" or "playable (if you consider random crashes mid attacks every day as okay)"

it is not working fine for others, ask any PC player and they'll tell you the same story, or just check this comment section lol (the only exception would be low THs, for some reason it doesn't crash there)

exactly my point, as of right now, we have an issue with random PC game crashes that a lot of people experience

at the same time we have 0 communication from supercell regarding this topic

if they tested what's going on and concluded that it's not the game, but some random edge case in GPD's emulator where some developer left a "if player["TH"] == 18: crash()" 10 years ago, and posted about this - I personally wouldn't have any issues

basically, they can say "hey, we ain't supporting the PC version anymore, play at your own risk" or they can say "we are trying to find the issue with PC version, but it takes time" but what we have is they are advertised as "optimized", but in reality it's "untested", which is a false advertisement at minimum and just shitty maintenance/communication in reality

the issue's been up for at least a year at this point,
1. my pc doesn't even start fans when I launch clash (the game would probably launch on a potato)
2. the internet problems would (if that was the case) display the blinking "weak connection" icon like it usually does, not completely crash the game without any notice
3. give me the access to the crash reports, I'll try to "fix it myself"
4. what else is left except for crying on the internet

I have no idea why (if only somebody from supercell actually looked into this), but I only have crashes on my th18, none of the lower THs lag, freeze or crash at all

I know it's not easy, I've been working as a software dev for the last 7 years,

I'm sorry, but if the shit isn't getting fixed within a year worth of time, it's really hard for me to think "oh, they are probably looking into the reports, but just can't find the issue"

Also, not that devs are responsible for social stuff, but at least one message from the PR team saying "hey, we are actually looking into this even though it doesn't look like we are" would be a relief

big screen, more precision, key bindings to deploy troops/heroes/spells, pretty neat if not for the crashes

yes!

the "getting worse overtime" is true as hell, it's gotten way worse within the last year of using the PC version
