Bugs in the game that are nerve twisting

So, I have had a bug where someone evolved there Charmeleon to Charizard EX and was selecting energy. He didn't pick anything for a very long time, past his timer count. I had to concede the match after 20min.

Just now I played a match against someone and I was winning. Once they took their move and damaged one of my Pokemon (with 3 prize wins on their side and 2 on mine) my Pokemon was given its damage count which was half its health and immediately finished the game saying I won, then the next panel where it gives you the summary says i lost and I conceded the game. I was using my art tablet to navigate the game so yeah. I was under the impression that the person was hacking but apparently this is a bug ?

If stuff like this happens, shouldn't their be a reconnect if the server de-syncs or you loose connection. At least a 2 min limit to rejoin. Or if both lost connection, no loss was recorded ?

Has anything similar to this has happened to you ?


(FYI I joined back to TCG Live since 2018)

    People just go inactive, winning or losing, but the game doesn't make them lose due to inactiveness and so I don't know what's happening

    Game glitches and I don't get to get a card I need

    I disconnect but it claims I've reconnected and the opponent's turn but they don't do anything and their turn won't end and I don't know if this match is only happening on my side but I'm forced to concede

    Times when some or all of my cards aren't visible, whether it be the Pokémon logo or they go black/purple I have to play based on my memory of where cards are usually located. I've won once with this happening to me

    Sometimes my phone will exit the game right as the match is starting

    Lastly, I've had times where it wouldn't let me use attacks/abilities

    This is actually wild on how you can win just based on memory xD.
    In regards to your bugs, your last one I have experienced, afterwards the game just lags out when I end my turn.

    I have had the bug where i cant use abilities lately. Seems to happen after i evolve an go to use the ability an it wont let me. Usually i have to perform another action and then it will let me use the ability. But sometimes it can ruin my turn. And the not being able to choose certian items or pokemon. An its ALWAYS the pokemon that i need or item i need that i cant choose. Its crazy to me. Like the last match it happened, i went to choose solrock to put on my bench so i could draw cards! An solrock was the only pokemon that it wouldnt let me choose!

    Im just aggravated recently with coin flips! I know its not a bug. But using some decks i built that have abilities that rely on coin flip, an the constant landing on tails!! It has pretty much made me not use anything that has a coin flip.

    This happens to me occasionally, but normally I can tap on the card, make it big, get off the card, and it will work

    I don't know if that will work for you, just sharing my experience

    I just played against someone who seemed to have switched his internet off when losing after going back to his dashboard
    Timer just kept running.
    After 10 minutes player somehow came back to spam thumps up emotes.

    Feels it was maybe done in purpose.

    So far game has been pretty stable for me.
    This first time seeing such behavior or bug
    Match ended after 20 min and game wouldnt finish but was frozen.
    I had to concede to get out.

    This needs to have some way of finishing the game when connection is lost without the one in lead losing or something .

    Just had something similar happen to me, just now.

    Opponent uses Tera-zard's ability, and attaches one energy to their bench. The Charizard then proceeds to stay "floating" in the air with no prompt suggesting the opponent is going through their deck. The Idle Counter counted down numerous times to where it should have ended with that. The match timer itself went to 0:00 for them and still the match didn't end. I had to concede to get out of it.
