That link works for me, please try it again.

 

As for the splash screen, I think this is an issue with people who have weak connectivity when they start it the first time.

Basically, when you start the app, one of a couple things happens depending on your internet connection and history:

1. You have no internet connection, which means it uses the built-in model metadata file packaged with the app.

2. You have already started the app with an internet connection in the past, and you have already downloaded the most up-to-date model metadata from the cloud.

3. You have already started the app with internet, but there is a newer version of the model metadata available, so you have to download that.

4. You start the app with a weak internet connection and have no local version of the metadata, so you download it.

 

It's number 4 (or some combination with 3 and 4) that's the issue here *I think*. The problem is that it's trying to get the more up-to-date model data, but because the connection is slow, it's taking a long time to download it despite just being a plain text file (albeit a longer one - 1.5MB). 

 

If this is the case, I would suggest either starting the app with internet turned off (in which case your model data will be a bit out of date, due to fixes I've already made since launch), or make sure you have a good connection when you start it so it can download the file the first time, and then you should be OK.

 

If this doesn't describe you, then the issue is something else I'm not sure about.

 

I'll look into some kind of timer on the downloads where it'll default back to the local version after a certain time.

When I tried to start it again a day later, everything worked fine 🙂

Hey. 

I'm really excited for this app, but I have come across two problems while trying to use it:

1. Not really app-related, but anyway: If I click on the "App for Android on Google Play" button at the bottom of this page https://www.wyrd-games.net/m3e-crew-builder-app, I get this:

URL is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?hl=en_US&id=com.wyrd.m3e

2. I managed to find the app in the Playstore, but unfortunately, I can't get past the spash screen. When I start it, I only see this and can't do anything:

According to my phone, I have Android version 9, build number 00WW_5_15D_SP01 (it's a Nokia 8, in case that is relevant).
