Bugs Found in Traffic Flow: Idle Tycoon Game for iOS
Traffic Flow: Idle Tycoon Game offers a calm, easy-to-learn idle game that drives you to build your own transportation empire. Players move passengers around to fit them all into seats as well as upgrade check-in, boarding, and seating speeds. Along the way, one small plane out of Dublin grows into a transport network of buses, trains, ships, and trucks. Neon visuals and the absence of timers or fail states make it easy to pick up and put down at any moment.
We enjoyed testing Traffic Flow as part of QAwerk’s regular bug crawl. The core loop is straightforward and works well, but several supporting features do have a few issues, including account deletion, audio, and purchase restoration flows. You’ll find the detailed report below.
User is unable to delete account due to ‘Could not confirm deletion’ error
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
- The user has launched the game and has access to the ‘Settings’ screen.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch the game.
- Navigate to the ‘Settings’ section.
- Tap the ‘Delete Account’ option.
- Confirm the account deletion.
- Observe the result.
Environment:
OS: iOS 18.4.1
Device: iPhone 12
Actual Result:
The account is not deleted. The ‘Could not confirm deletion. Please try again. Your local progress is saved.’ error message is displayed. Retrying the operation does not allow the user to complete the account deletion.
Expected Result:
The account should be successfully deleted after the user confirms the deletion request. If the deletion cannot be completed, the app should display a message giving a clear reason for the failure.
Game has no sound effects or music despite all audio settings being enabled
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
- Device volume is enabled.
- Silent Mode is disabled.
- Music and sound effects are enabled in the game settings.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch the game.
- Navigate to the ‘Settings’ section.
- Verify that the ‘Music’ and ‘Sound/SFX’ toggles are enabled.
- Return to gameplay.
- Interact with different game elements and continue playing.
Environment:
OS: iOS 18.4.1
Device: iPhone 12
Actual Result:
No background music or sound effects play during gameplay, even though the corresponding audio settings are enabled.
Expected Result:
Background music and sound effects should be played according to the enabled audio settings.
No result message is displayed after completing ‘Restore Purchases’ flow
Severity:
Major
Precondition:
- The user has access to the ‘Restore Purchases’ option.
- The device has a stable internet connection.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch the game.
- Navigate to the ‘Settings’ section.
- Tap the ‘Restore Purchases’ option.
- Enter the requested Apple ID password.
- Complete the authentication.
- Observe the result.
Environment:
OS: iOS 18.4.1
Device: iPhone 12
Actual Result:
No confirmation, error, or informational message is displayed after the ‘Restore Purchases’ flow is completed. The user cannot tell whether purchases were restored successfully, no eligible purchases were found, or the operation failed.
Expected Result:
A clear result message should be displayed after completing the ‘Restore Purchases’ flow, informing the user whether purchases were successfully restored, no eligible purchases were found, or an error occurred.
During testing, we identified several issues in key supporting functionality. The most significant one affects account management and shows a recurring error when trying to delete an account. Overall, the core gameplay remains accessible, but improving account management, audio functionality, and purchase-related feedback would make the application more reliable and provide a clearer user experience.
