Timer bug

Every time I try and play over the last 2 days I'm being meet with a turn timer bug. The time starts while it's my opponents turns and it is starting from around 9 seconds. By the time the animation completes and I can move a card I'm down to like 4 seconds. With every card I play the time just rests to 9 seconds. My opponents timer seems to be working normal. When my timer hits 0 as expected it makes me forfit the rest of my turn.

Any one else seeing this or have a fix/workaround (other than play faster lol)

I have restarted the game and my PC many times.

    Played today for the first time in, like, 3 weeks. Timer is definitely broken now. I have encountered the same issue as you, being that the timer starts running the moment the opponent clicks/taps End Turn. While the animation is playing, we're left with only a couple seconds to make our own move and only a few extra added every time we make an action. The timer is WAY too strict even for a "simple" TCG like Pokemon. Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel and Magic, the Gathering Arena are nowhere near as tight with the time as this new implementation.

    @DarkFire157 the timer is still 45 seconds per action, any less than that is not a "new implementation" is a bug some people are experiencing.

    Bug was somehow fixed like a month ago and since about 2 days ago I get 15 seconds or less at the start of the games once again. Literally playing a game now where I have 3 seconds which is taken up by the draw for turn animation. I dont understand how this can keep showing up on a PC client that people are suppose to be fully moving to very soon. Use those billons of dollars and hire some people that can create a client that isnt dog water please. They should also be giving PC players way more compensation because the way the game is now we literally cannot completely daily quests because the game client literally wont let us play the game.

    Your turn is shorter if your PC system clock is running fast.

    I've had this happen multiple times today. I will draw and then my turn ends.

    The problem is that your device can't display the animations of in game actions as quickly as intended (processing issue).


    The timer shouldn't start for you until it's actually your turn (i.e. when the game displays the 'your turn' message). But because the timer is not linked to the animations that are being displayed as you are seeing them (slowly), you end up watching animations that have actually already happened, but are only just being shown to you.


    From your opponent's perspective, they would have played their turn out normally with the animations happening at the proper speed and accurate timer. Then they will see you draw a card and do nothing for a minute and ultimately time out your turn.

    i've had this for a couple weeks now.

    it began with my turn starting at about a 10 second countdown and i could still play the game if i was fast, but after a few days it now starts the timer at about 5 seconds and reaches 0 before i can make any action to extend it.

    for about a week now i can't even play the game at all. i've uninstalled and deleted all files at least 3 separate times which changes nothing.
