Good afternoon everyone, *"I'm very happy and satisfied to see this project come to fruition. This bowling game, both attractive and extremely fun, represents a real step forward for the platform. I hope it will mark the beginning of an innovative approach for future games, bringing even more dynamism to the community. The site's redesign brings a welcome touch of modernity, and the enthusiasm of the new members already testifies to the success of this change. May this evolution pave the way for even more captivating experiences and, above all, the expansion of the existing community!" catsgirls, moderator assistant flyordie
Bonjour, merci, tres beau jeu, couleur concept de l'interface... bravo! j'adore! félicitations aux concepteurs :)(f)
Really enjoying FlyOrDie’s new bowling game—the graphics, sound, and gameplay are spot on! I did notice that two of my rated games against "G" haven’t appeared, though. Still, big thanks for such a well-made game—it might just become one of my favourites! 👍🏼
some more feedback: . The bowling beta forum (bowling game start screen) cannot be accessed with an iPhone 13 Pro, IOS 18.4.1 / iPhone 15 Pro, IOS 18.4.1. The link does not open. . even if you exclude guests, they still can challenge you.
I just read your current comment and i confirm. I'm on android 13 OSand the game doesn't work. It displays nothing. Resources ok as it says.
Hello, OPERATOR! - As John mentioned, our games have disappeared. Also, I've played more games and none of them appear in my info. - I miss the animated emoticons that we have in other games. - I think that some text elements shouldn't be allowed to be selected, only chat messages would be nice to be able to select. - About the disconnections, it seems that this new game has the same problem as the other FlyOrDie games. I did some tests and it behaved even worse than the others. - The problem is quite simple to simulate. Just turn off the internet for a few seconds until the message "Trying to restore connection" appears and turn it back on. Or on your mobile, switch from Wi-Fi to mobile internet a few times. And the connection won't be reestablished. In the past, it was almost always possible to reconnect. - In the Bowling game, the message "Trying to restore connection" doesn't even appear, it just disconnects. - I did some debugging: the problem seems to be when it is necessary to create a new WebSocket connection. When it keeps the same WS after reconnection, it works. When a new WS is created, the client sends 1 message, the server responds with 1 message, the client sends 2 more, the server responds with 1 more, and closes the connection abruptly. Always the same pattern. - It seems to be an implementation problem and not an internet problem, because after the automatic reconnection fails, pressing the reconnect button works, but the game progress is lost. - Please take a look at why the server is closing the connection at that moment, the connection would already be reestablished but is intentionally closed. Hope this helps somehow! Wishing FlyOrDie better days ahead!
hi Operator love the new bowling game but i dont understand why im not in the ranking ive played loads of games ty
Looks good so far But the game seems to be heating up my mobile device and using more battery than a FoD game normally would. There is more that can be said but that is the only issue i have so far Edit: I also cant find the option to block guests (or block a specific guest) but i'm sure that will be fixed anyway

That doesn’t prevent them from challenging you, therefore it doesn’t mute. It just shows/hides them
Szia! köszi,most már tudok vele játszani! Nem tudom,h nem-e lehetne korrigálni a chet falat,hogy a mondat után oda lehetne mellé rakni a szmajlikat, mert így külön külön tudjuk csak elküldeni,telón tán egyben el lehet küldeni,de gépről és laptopról nem lehet...Meg azt is írták vagy is azt láttam,h privátot sem lehet írni...Ha ezen tudnátok változtatni azt meg köszönnénk! Amúgy nagyon jó a játék,ahogy elnéztem soknak tetszik ez a játék,már kellett ide egy új!! Ügyesek vagytok! :)

Privát üzenet másképpen működik mint eddig: a játékos nevére, majd a "Message" gombra kattintva lehet privát üzenetet küldeni, amik elkülönülten jelennek meg a közöstől.

Some more feedback on mobile playability: iPhone 15 pro, IOS 18.5, Safari 18.5 Today, I had issues with Safari 18.5. Some of the lower part of the screen cannot be seen, only about half of the bowling ball is visible, and the screen is not fixed. When you want to move the bowling ball to the left or right, the screen moves to the left or right as well. This problem was not initially there. (If you'd like to see a screen shot, please let me know.)
Thanks for launching the beta, the game looks and feels great so far! Just a quick note: I’m a subscriber, but I’m seeing ads at the top of the screen while in the lobby. Not sure if that’s intended during beta, but wanted to flag it just in case. For reference, I’m playing on an iPhone 11 running iOS 18.4.1.
The bowling is a GREAT upgrade for fod OP nice to see it on here. lets hope it goes well and lots off ppl play it . Ill be playing it daily for sure. . Bowling is one of my fav games.
Can you put bowling in the featured section on the home page to make it more visible and hopefully get more people in to play?
We are still working on major bug fixes, we will do that once the system is a bit more stable.
Good afternoon " adorjani", I received this message from a player who pointed out a potentially important topic. I'm forwarding it to you at her request. * Our bowling game was disconnected, a bug? I saw it wasn't in our archives, but... for other games... it counts. We played frame 10, but when you play frame 5 and several games are completed, only the last one isn't counted, and I think it would have been the same for our game if we had started a new game. Only the game with the bug... doesn't count. Good afternoon to the whole team, catsgirls moderator assistant flyordie
Sometimes the moves are blocked,if i go in practice room and i do 1 move, after i comeback in game and it's working
After a few experiments, I haven't been able to consistently reach a release speed of at least 29–30 km/h with a straight throw. The ball always ends up in the gutter. There are only two players who seem to manage it quite well – which I find a bit strange. Has anyone had a similar experience? Thks.
It is possible, both the "length" of the throw (how much the mouse moved through the screen when you were holding the ball), and how fast you did that movement are looked at when calculating the strength of the throw, so to throw fast you have to move your mouse/finger quickly and through most of the screen.
Thank you for the response. I will keep trying, but it's really hard to throw a perfectly straight shot consistently - not even slightly off-center, especially when it comes to spare shots. Sometimes I can throw a perfect straight ball, but I can’t do it consistently, depending on how I move the mouse. I won't name the two players here, but they manage to play a perfect straight shot in every frame, which is impressive.
It's by design, you either throw a fast ball, or a slower but more precise one, or with enough practice throwing fast precise balls is also possible.
Of course, it's natural that everyone has their own way of using the mouse. But they throw straight permanently without any deviation — that would be a real talent. I’ll keep you updated on my progress here. Thanks for the great conversation!
Can you explain why this happens? When I throw the ball straight across the screen with the mouse, it suddenly gets 250–300 r/m spin to the far right or left. What exactly is going on with the mouse movement?

Some additional feedback: - Yesterday, I encountered a problem where, in one of my opponent's frames, I couldn't see the pins. (macOS Sequoia, V. 15.4.1, Microsoft Edge browser Version 136.0.3240.92, arm64) - If you don't check the box for 'include unavailable', you will not be able to see any moderators or assistant moderators with a 'do not disturb' status. (But you can still see their typing) Kind regards
This also applies to ANY users with 'do not disturb' status. I think that's fine, but should ALWAYS be able to see moderators/assistant moderators no matter the status.
To improve further research, I’d like to share a new update from the last few days. It’s been strange lately: when I throw the ball straight across the screen using the mouse, it suddenly spins to the far right or left at 250–300 r/m - even though I didn’t throw it off-center. It happens almost every 3rd or 4th throw. Maybe it’s a bug, I’m not sure.

Well you dont seem to be doing bad with your score Dan 🤣 So i think you have got the hang of rolling the balls😉
This is all about improvement. When I notice issues like this, I share them here. The admins need this kind of information to fix bugs — no matter how well I or others might play. Thanks, sweetheart 😊
Hi Op seems really strange when am playing bowling all is ok till I get to round 5 then it boots me seems to be ok in the day but come late evening it’s worse last night and tonight as been awful and I never dc on no other games on fod☹️
There are some other technical issues I've noticed. When you join another game as a spectator, you can't see the ongoing bowling match — only the final result of the first game remains visible. However, the players continue into the second game, which we can't watch live. A few others have confirmed this issue too!
It worked perfectly now. From the second game onward, others can join without any issues. I confirm this. Great job! Best regards Daniel

It is possible that there are still some edge cases left that could get you kicked out, so if anyone experiences any spectator disconnects, please let us know!
From my point of view, since Friday there have been no known issues with connection drops for spectators or any unexpected disconnections. I think everything has been running smoothly and consistently.
JUST WONDERING OP WILL THERE BE OTHER ROOMS INCLUDED IN THE GAME ,LIKE LEAGUE ROOMS? LIKE IN 9 BALL AND 8 BALL?
When typing in the chat (both on the wall and in private), the emoji button disappears as soon as you start typing so you cannot insert an emoji.
Bonjour cher Operator, J'avais deja posté mon avis positif sur le forum a propos de ce jeu magnifique, ma question est la suivante: envisagez vous de créer des tournois au Bowling? et si c'est oui, est ce pour bientot? et encore toutes mes felicitations a toute l'equipe de creation Flyordie...Ciel
There are two recurring issues I’d like to report, both of which happen quite frequently: 1 = When entering a game room as a spectator, I always get kicked out — but only when the players are in the second game. It works fine during the first game. The message says that the connection to the game has been lost. 2 = Even while I’m actively playing a match, I’ve been suddenly disconnected — and the same thing has happened to my opponent. Fortunately, there’s no point loss in these cases. These two problems occur from time to time. Thanks so much for your ongoing effort to fix them. I really appreciate your work!

It's not fun when you're playing against someone and leave the game in the middle of the game, especially if you're breaking a record yourself, at least you should be able to continue playing alone
Sometimes the game freezes when you click on a player's profile picture while playing. The opponent is still playing, but you are unable to do anything. It's not possible to exit the game in a normal way either. Happened in Irishoo's and my game 12:32 UTC as well. Mac OS Sequoia 15.5 Chip: Apple M2 Max Microsoft Edge Version 137.0.3296.68
