I can’t open a shared game — anything I don’t know?

I was sent a game my friend played against Li, the bot. It was sent in a link on iOS Messenger.

It has the avatars of Li and my friend showing, just like all shared game links. Nobody else.

Here’s the weird part. It opened to a game between two players who are on this platform…but I don’t know either of them. Neither does my friend.

Any reason this is happening? 

If your friend saved the game it would be in their game history. If they didn't, you won't be able to see it.

So I’ll assume it didn’t get saved.

Still wondering why they sent me a game between two completely unrelated players….

I found out more.

A game, including with a bot, is saved when it’s shared, according to the site itself.

Ah, the sharing thing must be relatively new.

Update.

I finally looked for the game in their history and saw it there! So simple.

But this was only after trying another link from the same friend against a different bot — and getting two more players (not the first pair) instead 🤷🏼‍♀️

There’s just no good explanation for this. At least there’s a workaround.

Podría ser un problema de permisos o del navegador al intentar abrir el enlace de la partida. A veces, si el enlace fue compartido desde una pestaña privada o caducó, no se podrá abrir correctamente. Prueba a copiarlo y abrirlo en otra ventana o incluso en otro dispositivo. También revisa si tienes bloqueadores de contenido activos, ya que pueden impedir la carga. En mi caso, algo similar me pasó mientras navegaba por https://jackpotcity-online-casino.com/ y el problema se resolvió desactivando extensiones y limpiando la caché. Si nada de esto funciona, pídele a quien compartió la partida que genere un nuevo enlace.
