Game Update: 2.9.0

[gingerbred.livejournal.com]

New Features/Updates:

Adventure Sync:
* Coming soon, Adventure Sync in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite! When you choose to enable this feature, your distance walked will now be recorded for Portkey Portmanteaus, even if the app is not open. (My interpretation is it's in the code but hasn't been turned on yet. Given their track record (that start button for fortresses? *cough cough*) it's probably just as well that they wait until the event is over.)

Friends & Gifting:
* You can now sort your friends alphabetically in ascending/descending order or sort friends that have sent you an unopened Gift (Not the way I'd have sorted them, but sure.)

Portkeys:
* Updated Portkey rewards to include possible Spell Energy rewards when tapping Wrackspurts (The thing is, it's only one energy, that then gets multiplied, and that's instead of something else, like ingredients or XP. Hmm. One energy. Right. Brilliant even...)
* Refreshed Foundable Fragments which are available as possible rewards (See previous post about Severes, because this is marketing doublespeak if ever I've read any. 😐)
* New Portkey icons will help you sort through your unlocked Portkeys! 2km Portkeys are displayed as a Boot, 5km Portkeys as a Tea Kettle, and 10km Portkeys as a Deflated Ball
* Added 2 additional Portmanteau slots, bringing the total amount of Portmanteaus you can pick up to 10 ('These will not be available to fill until all players are on this latest app version.' <- And this might actually be the explanation for the problems with extra Portkeys on the map overwriting things.)


Bug Fixes:
Potions:
* Fixed an issue with some players receiving an error when they attempted to collect a brewed Potion

Wizarding Challenges:
* Fixed an issue with some players receiving an error message when attempting to enter a Wizarding Challenge
* Fixed an issue with the number of players at a Chamber not updating immediately when other players join the same Chamber


Known Issues:
Achievements:
* The “Friends Listed I: Have 1 Friend in your Friends List” Achievement only updates when both players restart the app

Gifting:
* When in the Gifts to Send tab, players may notice that their Friend’s Wizarding Level is missing
* Tapping on Sorting and Gifts to Send at the same time will give players an error
* Badging (red dot) may not pop up on Gifting when a Friend has sent a Gift

Social:
* Friends who have played recently may appear as inactive for +2 Days

Ministry ID:
* Android 10 Only: Player may only see an black screen in the their Portrait when they attempt to use an Animated Sticker or Frame

Wizarding Challenges:
* Aurors Only: Defeating a Foe in a Wizarding Challenge with Bat-Bogey Hex does not count towards Wizarding Challenge Achievements
* Players may not receive the Level Up rewards screen if they Level Up after a Wizarding Challenge. Players will still Level Up and rewards will still be granted.
* Players can consume Health Potions and Invigoration Draughts even though Health and Focus are full
* Players experience a delay when tapping into a Chamber

Portmanteaus:
* When collecting new Portmanteaus, the amount on the badge from a player’s Suitcase is incorrect, compared to the actual amount of new Portmanteaus

Potions:
* Completing a Potion with Gold then tapping the Ladle will still send you to Master Notes, even though the Potion is complete
* Players may be unable to collect a Potion from Potion Brewing if they move from WiFi to mobile data

Registry:
* Foundables in Photo Mode may flip around when a player taps on the Foundable to reposition

There were issues for some Android devices, trying to start again seems to solve it. (Sometimes repeated starts were necessary.) There are presently no other reports of massive fubar. This solves the issues with the disappearing Portkeys in our queues, so you can now pick things up on the map again. Yay! And Adventure Sync still isn't live.

ETA: DON'T FORGET TO DOWNLOAD YOUR ASSETS.
