Hi,

can you share your card settings file please?

[FlokiNL]

## Set it to true to to activate card settings USE_CARD_SETTINGS=false ## Example 1: The team has a winrate of 50%, you own 5/5 cards of it. The API will pretend the team has a 74% WR. ## Example 2: The team has a winrate of 50%, you own 1/4 cards of it. The API will pretend the team has a 48.5% WR (50 + (1/4 * 24) - (3 * 2.5) ## Example 3: The team has a winrate of 50%, you own 0/4 cards of it. The API will pretend the team has a 40% WR. WINRATE_MODIFIER_OWNED_CARD_PERCENTAGE=24 FLAT_NEGATIVE_MODIFIER_PER_UNOWNED_CARD=2.5 ## Example: If you finished in silver last season the modifiers above will only be applied ## once you are in silver or higher DISABLE_OWNED_CARDS_PREFERENCE_BEFORE_CHEST_LEAGUE_RATING=true ## Example: If you finished in silver last season the bot will not prioritize the quest focus element ## before you are in silver or higher DISABLE_FOCUS_PRIORITY_BEFORE_CHEST_LEAGUE_RATING=true ## Only play cards with this level or higher CARD_MIN_LEVEL=1 ## Always add 0 mana cards like Furious Chicken if the account has it ADD_ZERO_MANA_CARDS=true ## If set to false the bot will never play any starter cards. Only recommended if you have a ton of cards PLAY_STARTER_CARDS=true ## Possible options: dragon,death,fire,earth,water,life ## Example: You only want to play earth and fire elements if the bot is not fighting for the quest focus: ## PREFERRED_SUMMONER_ELEMENTS=earth,fire PREFERRED_SUMMONER_ELEMENTS=dragon,death,fire,earth,water,life ## If the API can not find a team with your preferred summoner elements with a winrate >= this ## it will chose a team without element restrictions applied PREFERRED_SUMMONER_ELEMENTS_WINRATE_THRESHOLD=48 ## If PRIORITIZE_QUEST=true then the API will always try to play the focus element, unless it can not find ## A team with a winrate >= this USE_FOCUS_ELEMENT_WINRATE_THRESHOLD=55 #################################################################################### ##### DEPRECATED - only working for old API and will probably be removed soon: ## The minimum amount of historic games the api should have for a team to consider it MINIMUM_GAMES=10 ## Possible options: dragon,death,fire,earth,water,life PREFERRED_SUMMONER_ELEMENT= ## If the api only finds teams with a winrate smaller than this it will ignore the card settings ## (0-100) WINRATE_THRESHOLD=40

Could you check if it's fixed now?

It’s fixed, didn’t have this error for a while now 😊 bot performance (wins) is also a lot better since last season  Verzonden vanuit Mail voor Windows Van: Jonas FVerzonden: woensdag 14 september 2022 11:47Aan: PCJones/Ultimate-Splinterlands-Bot-V2CC: FlokiNL; AuthorOnderwerp: Re: [PCJones/Ultimate-Splinterlands-Bot-V2] Critical Error: API didn't find any team - Skipping Account (Issue #97) Could you check if it's fixed now?—Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you authored the thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>

First of all, thank you @PCJones for providing this software - I appreciate the work you put into it!
Unfortunately I am also seeing this issue intermittently:

Finding match...
Splinterlands Response: {"success":true,"id":"sl_44cc999ddd****"}
Requesting team from public API...
Critical Error: ****: API Error: Response was empty
Critical Error: ****: API didn't find any team - Skipping Account

This results in my team surrendering. Do you know if this is a bug, or if it's maybe just the result of too much load on your server?

I am using v2.17.2 on Linux.

Update: I was thinking of a feature request - if this error is unavoidable, could the bot have a fallback option to play a random summoner and monster card from your collection, so that you don't automatically surrender? This way you have at least a small chance of winning, for example if your opponent surrenders.
