Dominion Online Version History

2.3.7 - Minor Mini Profile Card Fixes 2026-11-02


2.3.6 - Mini Profile Cards 2026-11-01

Mini Profile Cards
  • Resting the pointer on a player's name now shows a small card with their avatar, level, mu and rank, so you can read who you are up against without opening the full player page. Clicking the name on the card opens that page as usual.
  • The card appears on player names throughout the site: both leaderboards, the opponents in a player page's recent results, the in-game spectator list, the participant list at a table and on the end-game screen, the friends list, the blocklist, the friends-online panel, and the player bars in a game.
  • The player names on the end-game score screen are now links to that player's page, in the summary rows at the top and above each player's score breakdown, and they carry the card too.
  • A Standard/Reckless toggle sits at the bottom right of the card, so you can check the other ladder without leaving the screen you are on. The player count follows the view you are hovering: on a 3-player board the toggle gives you 3-player Reckless.
  • On the leaderboards and in the friends lists the card fills in immediately, since those ratings are already on screen. Anywhere else, the first hover on a given player takes a moment while their numbers are fetched, and is instant after that.
Tournament Tables
  • DOC championship matches now sort above League matches in the tournament table lists. Tables of the same type and division are now sorted by spectator count, busiest first.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed being shown "You've reconnected to this game N times." on every login for the rest of a game. The count is kept per game, so once you had reconnected to a game twice, every later login put up that question first even though reconnecting worked fine. The client now reconnects you into the game straight away and only asks if the game does not load.
  • Fixed a tournament table being lost when it was moved between servers, which left the table unresponsive to ready clicks and forced the players to recreate it. A match that changes servers part-way now carries only a portion of the match chat into the end-of-match transcript when the complete transcript would cause the transfer to fail.
Performance
  • Avatars and player pages load faster, and the server spends less time on them during a game.

2.3.5 - Fixes and !ping Check 2026-10-06

Player Ratings in Log
  • The game log header lists each player's level again. This is now an option, "Show player levels in game log", found under Options in the lobby. It is on by default. Clicking a name in the player bar still opens that player's page.
Premoves Shortcuts Fix
  • Fixed the premove buttons on cards with multiple choices (examples: Squire, Pawn) crowding the card face, including hiding them on small screens.
Chat
  • Added a "!ping" chat command. The server replies "pong" to you alone, so nobody else sees that you pinged. Use it to confirm you are still connected without refreshing.

2.3.4 - New League Timer 2026-10-02

League Timer
  • Players now start at the maximum of 4 minutes.
  • 4 seconds of free decision time.
  • Replenish comes at the end of the turn instead of the start, so it is available for opponents' turns. The replenish time is equal to 4 seconds per maximum decision count of any of your prior three turns, with a minimum total time remaining of ten seconds after the replenish.
Player Pages
  • Head-to-Head now fills in automatically with your own record against the player whose page you are viewing.
  • Recent results now show a flag beside the score when the game ended in a resignation.
  • The kingdom hover on a recent result now names the player who went first.
  • The Discord field is now titled "Discord Name", and its info popup notes that either a username or a display name is acceptable.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed "Load Old Game" on a table to allow playing a game you participated in from the other player's seat.
  • Fixed older games missing from the recent results table on a player page.
  • Fixed the game gradually slowing down over the course of a long game with many decisions. The slowdown built up with every card that moved, with most games never getting anywhere near the point needed to cause a noticeable slowdown, but a long game with many decisions and card movements could lead to stuttering, particularly for premoves users.
  • Fixed the match score at a tournament table being shown against the wrong player after someone left the table, where the remaining player picked up the departing player's score.
Other
  • Bury: identical cards are now stacked when choosing a card from your discard pile.
  • The game log header no longer lists each player's level (levels are now available by clicking a name in the player bar to view that player's page).

2.3.3 - Bug Fix 2026-09-20

  • Fixed some avatars and country flags missing on the leaderboard for players with large friend lists.

2.3.2 - Bug Fixes 2026-09-19

Player Pages
  • Avatars are now shown beside names in the Friends panel, the friend list, and the in-game Spectators list. The in-game spectators list now also provides links to view player pages.
  • Clicking outside the in-game player page closes it.
  • Fixed clicks on the in-game player bar sometimes not opening the player page.
  • Removing your avatar now asks for confirmation.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed country flags showing as two letters (e.g. "JP") instead of a flag on Windows in Chrome and Edge. Flags there are now drawn with graphics adapted (flag glyphs only) from Twemoji (Copyright 2020 Twitter, Inc and other contributors, licensed under CC-BY 4.0).
  • Fixed an issue with automatching that was causing players already in the queue for a long time to have slightly decreased priority.
  • Loading a game from recent results now seats the original players and bots at the table straight away, and no longer adds extra empty seats when a table hasn't already been created.
  • The DOC match bracket link now points at the current 2026 championship bracket instead of just the draw.

2.3.1 - Bug Fix 2026-09-18

  • Fixed avatars and country flags on the leaderboard not appearing until you clicked something.

2.3.0 - Player Pages 2026-09-18

Player Pages
  • Every player now has a profile page. Open your own from the new Profile tab (which replaces the Account tab: account settings are reached from an Account button on your profile), or open anyone's by clicking their name on the leaderboard, in the friends panel or friend list, at a table, or from the in-game player bar.
  • Profile settings: avatar, country and Discord username. Pick one of eight stock avatars, or (subscribers) crop a custom avatar from the art of any card you have access to.
  • Record table with overall wins/losses/ties, longest streaks, and current and best level and rank, switchable between 2-player and 3-4 player, Standard and Reckless.
  • Recent results with opponent, level, result and expected win %; hover a row to view the kingdom, or reload the game with the original seating (empty seats are filled with bots).
  • Today panel showing the games played since the last rating update, your Current vs New rating, and an explanation of how rating days work.
  • Rating history chart with level, skill (μ) and deviation (φ) lines, a games-per-day/week/month bar series, 1m/3m/6m/1y/all and custom date ranges, and drag-to-zoom.
  • Head-to-head record and expected score against any player.
  • Player search and a recently viewed list in the page header.
  • Links to the player's Dominion League history and to the Discord servers.
  • Avatars and country flags now appear on the leaderboard.
Gameplay Bug Fixes
  • Fixed Boon and Hex pile counts.
  • Way of the Chameleon: fixed with the -$1 token (a +X Cards card drew X-1 cards instead of giving +$(X-1)), with Highwayman, with Priest (only the Chameleon'd Priests swap their +$), and with Reckless (the swap applies to both plays). The log keeps the cause on the "would get +$" line.
  • Fixed Joust leaving the Rewards pile empty while the gained Reward was being played (e.g. via Innovation). This fixes the case where Coronet is played with Innovation to reveal a second Province, which previously did not gain a Reward as it should.
  • Quartermaster: you now choose which Quartermaster resolves first when a Throne Roomed copy and a plain one are in play, and the prompt shows which copy is resolving.
  • Spending Villagers is now allowed before the Buy phase on Possession turns and once Flourishing Trade has happened, with a slider like Coffers. A "Don't ask for Villagers" autoplay option was added for Flourishing Trade.
  • Fixed a game-breaking issue when undoing to before the Start Game decision.
Gameplay Improvement
  • Added "Take Copper" and "Take Settlers" buttons for Settlers and Bustling Village.
Tournaments
  • Dominion Online Championship matches are prefixed "DOC:" in the friends panel and Tables tab, with a link to the bracket.
  • The match score is shown on tournament table links.
Other
  • Animation speed now defaults to Standard for new accounts.
  • "Continue with bots" has been changed to only be offered when the continuing player owns every card in the kingdom.

2.2.11 - Championship Timer 2026-09-07

Undo Length Limit
  • In rated games, undo can no longer rewind past the start of your previous turn. Undo markers before that point are no longer shown in the log.
Tournament Tables
  • Spectator chat is no longer switched on automatically when a match ends. It stays locked until the match is complete, after which the host can turn it on.
  • Dominion Online Championship matches now use a championship variant of the Adaptive timer: running out of time ends your turn automatically (and makes your decisions automatically if your clock expires during your opponent's turn) instead of offering your opponent a resign, and you keep the rest of your timer. It is still shown as "Adaptive".
Leaderboard
  • The leaderboard is now updated incrementally as results come in instead of being rebuilt from scratch after every rated game. This removes thousands of full rebuilds a day from the game server, improving responsiveness across the whole site, not just the leaderboard.
  • Levels are now truncated consistently across the UI, so the level and rating range shown on the Automatch page match the leaderboard.

2.2.10 - Adaptive Timer Updates 2026-08-28

Timers
  • The Adaptive timer now replenishes more time at the start of each turn when decision counts are low, and pauses while an undo request is pending.
  • Dominion Online Championship matches are now supported.

2.2.9 - More Autoplays & Bug Fixes 2026-07-28

Autoplay
  • Added a "never trash" autoplay option for Bishop.
  • Added an "autoplay treasures" autoplay option for Gamble.
Lobby
  • Added an "Allow spectators in automatch" setting (on by default) that controls whether people can spectate your automatch games. It applies to both human and bot games started via automatch.
League Matches
  • "Copy Chat" now keeps the full match chat intact when the server switches over mid-match.
Bug Fixes
  • Safari: fixed garbled em dashes and other UTF-8 characters (accented, etc.), and fixed the league match chat box being cut off.
  • Fixed spectators continuing to receive chat and log updates from a game they were previously spectating when joining a new game.
  • Fixed a game starting in a broken state when a player left the table or clicked "Not Ready" at the same instant their opponent clicked "Ready".

2.2.8 - More Bug Fixes 2026-06-28

League Matches
  • Fixed league match tables not being handed over correctly when the server switched over mid-match.
  • Improved the layout of the friends list and tournament tables.
Other
  • Fixed the Walled Village ability to be selectable if other clean-up actions, such as trashing a card with Improve, make the ability eligible.
  • Tables now clean up and roll back after an error while starting a game, so you can keep using the same table instead of having to create a new one.
  • Fixed spectators getting stuck on a broken page when the next game started while they were still viewing the previous one. They now join the new game automatically instead of having to refresh.
  • Expansion randomizers can now be searched when picking cards for a custom kingdom.
  • Clarified the Island Folk autoplay description.

2.2.7 - Bug Fixes 2026-06-22

  • Fixed a bug with the League Table button that prevented League matches from using all the correct settings.
  • Fixed a bug where spectating or reconnecting to another game could leave you still receiving chat and log updates from a game you had already left.
  • Fixed the chat box on the end-of-game score screen being pushed nearly out of view during league matches.

League Matches

  • The match score is now shown on the table page by player names.
  • "Copy Chat" now gives everyone the same full match chat regardless of when they joined the table and what they were allowed to see.
  • Players are now seated in their correct seats for the next game of a match as soon as the prior one ends.
  • Spectator chat is re-enabled when a match completes.
  • Ties now correctly count as 0.5 wins.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixed and improved debt payback: Fool's Gold and Ducat are no longer incorrectly autoplayed, and Coffers are no longer included by default.
  • Fixed Way of the Turtle erroring when failing to set cards aside, breaking the game.
  • Fixed animation and timer display issues that would occasionally cause players to need to refresh when connecting to a new game, and on rare occasions miss receiving the message that their opponent has resigned.
  • Added missing card template for Victory cards with a Trait.
Other
  • The "All" button is now available for more multi-select questions.
  • Clearer error messages when setting up a kingdom.
  • Restored the "Already on friend list" message instead of an Internal Error when re-adding an existing friend.

2.2.1 - League Matches Updates 2026-06-05

Tournament Tables
  • Reload game buttons now appear for all completed and partially completed (resigned) games when choosing "Load Old Game". Games are automatically reloaded from the end with the players in their correct original seats, with the newly reloaded game replacing the original one when the new game starts.
  • Card pool no longer reduced on the league table screen if the host doesn't have a subscription. The server adjusts at game start if needed.
  • The "Randomize player order" button now reflects its actual state throughout the match.
  • Made the "Ready" green light flicker much less frequently in between both players being ready and the game starting.
  • The "!match" chat command response is now shown only to the requesting player, not broadcast.
Game Reloading
  • Fixed reloading a resigned game from the end so it no longer loads to one decision before the resignation.

2.2.0 - League Matches 2026-06-03

League Matches
  • Added League Matches: organized two-player tables that follow the official league rules, for competitive league play.
  • Added the Tournament Matches window, where you can see your open matches (with match ID, date created, opponent, and status), create a new match, resume a match in progress, or abandon one.
  • League tables automatically apply the league rule set: exactly two players, all expansions included, no custom setup rules, no added landscapes, no spectator chat, and a new "League" timer.
  • Links to active league tables now appear on the Automatch and Table pages.
  • Games at league tables can be resigned and then later reloaded and resumed to continue the match.
  • A "Copy Chat" button when a match completes, which copies the full match chat to your clipboard.
  • A "!match" chat command to display the match score, and a "!match -a" verbose command to display information for every game in the match. The match score is also displayed at the end of each game.
Did You Know
  • Added "Did You Know" tips to the Automatch page.
News
  • The news panel on the Automatch page is now collapsible, and remembers whether you've collapsed or expanded it on your device. New news automatically expands the panel.

2.1.4 - Minor Bug Fix 2026-05-23

Timer
  • The "Force End Turn" setting that used to only allow On or Off is now a three-way option: Off, Visible When Low, or On.
  • Added a "Very Low Time Warning" sound played as your remaining time crosses from the yellow into the red.
  • Made the timer's visual pulsing an optional setting.
General
  • Players are now required to have a phi value (φ) ≤ 0.42 in order to appear on the leaderboard. For comparison, 0.42 is roughly the phi value of a player that plays exactly one ranked game per week indefinitely.
  • Obelisk now displays a visual inset of the pile it chose, matching the behavior already in place for Traits.
  • Clients on an old version will now automatically try to reload to the new version.
Bug Fixes
  • An issue setting up games including Tax, Approaching Army, and Looters has been resolved.
  • Fixed the "All" button not appearing until mousing over cards when using some cards such as Artificer.

      • The button is off by default, but can be enabled in the Settings menu.
    • Added the option to dismiss the Patient timer's "Make Resign" prompt. You can restore the prompt using the icon in your opponent's info box.
    • Extra turns from cards like Outpost and Seize the Day now give the same time bonuses as regular turns.

    • Bots no longer get stuck when asked to spend extra Coffers or Villagers.

Older version information can be found at the 2nd Shuffle forum.
