Some users have been seeing issues with the game getting "stuck". Thanks to this bug report, I have made an adjustment. For some reason, the requests will fail to connect to the server, but rather than detecting this properly and going through normal error handling routines, it just... gets stuck. I have no idea why this happens nor how to fix it, but it was discovered that forcing it to stop (via turning wifi off and on again!) at least got the page un-stuck, as it allowed the error handler to work. To implement this "on purpose", I have added a timeout to requests. If you had this issue, you may now start seeing a "Request Timeout" message, asking if you would like to retry the request. This is important because PFQ does not have the structure in place for "idempotency" -- I cannot simply have it retry automatically, because it may lead to duplicate purchases or other actions. This is why it will remain a manual "do you want to retry?" query. I may be able to cut this down in future by making a list of "safe to retry" things, but for now... manual. I hope this doesn't cause too much trouble, and in fact helps those who were unknowingly facing the error before.

Thank you! I thought it was just my wifi. I stream and game on it, but my cell phone sometimes takes last priority. (I’m not very techy.) Edit: I’ve gotten the message several times in wonder trade after confirming a Pokémon to send Edit 2:Now, I can’t get through 3 players in my click lists without it breaking over the pop up message. I’m sure you’ll fix it soon, just trying to add to the notes. I suspect it’s because I do actually have signal issues and the time limit before the message isn’t very long.

Definitely was also having the issue but I thought it was on my end (like connection issues or clicking too fast, idk). I also had it very intermittently, but I am glad to see this fix! That was very swift, thank you!

seconding this; i'm getting it every few minutes now, sometimes multiple at once- and my QoL keeps turning off :'D i'm sure it's from almost-reset lag, and/or my bad internet, but figured i'd say something! i've gotten it like three times just trying to post this lol

Weird, I've only gotten it three or four times since it's been implemented and my QoL is fine :0

huh, wonder if it's just from slow internet on my end then :/ as for QoL, it seems like if i get multiple pop-ups in like a minute or two it just... turns off? definitely weird :'D edit: happened again and got a screenshot of the debug; the successful retry doesn't actually turn QoL back on. trying to do anything at all is just returning errors at this point :')

Oh, phew. I thought this was a side effect of me ditching Avast for good... I got really suspicious as it started right after I did that...

before this update I didn't really experience any gameplay issues/bugs except for a bit of lag, but since the update I have been getting these popups frequently.. it means gameplay is interrupted a lot for me, especially when mass/party clicking xP It seemed to get better earlier after I cleared my cache (unsure if that was why or just a coincidence!) but got worse again later just wanted to put this out there since it sounds like others might be having similar issues :o edit: it might be related to having things happening in multiple pfq tabs? that seems to be when it happens more often for me
