Developer Supercell has finally released the October update for their "Clash of Clans" mobile game. However, there are a small number of players who are encountering some problems.

After a more than a month of waiting, fans are now enjoying the latest update of "Clash of Clans." The gamers already had an idea of what to expect from the update since the developer did not deprive them of the details of the latest update. It has been posted on Oct. 8, and a sneak peak was also given to the players before the release day arrived.

The Bomb Tower is now accessible once players have reached Town Hall 8. The defense structure is not entirely new. It came from "Clash Royale," another mobile game from the studio. The hidden X-Bow, Tesla, and Mortar also gained another level, as well as the Dragon, Baby Dragon, and Wizard troops. Players with Town Hall 11 can expect an additional 25 pieces of defensive walls.

Several game balancing adjustments were also implemented. This includes Witch and Skeleton Spells, as well as Clan XP and Clan Wars matchmaking. Players will now receive the War Win Bonus even on failed attacks. They would also get bigger Clan experience points for defeating tougher enemies. Cost and creation time were also reduced. This makes Clan Wars more interesting.

Additionally, the October update of "Clash of Clans" offers a faster gameplay with the introduction of tabs. There will now be tabs for spells, troops, and a Quick Train tab that lets the players quickly create three attack plans.

Meanwhile, typical to any game update, several "Clash of Clans" players suffered problems. The initial issues that were encountered by players include a message saying that the update is not available, frozen loading screens, and special packages not being delivered.

Some of the issues were easily solved by restarting the device, uninstalling, and reinstalling the game. However, several other issues keep popping up from the game. Now, players are also complaining about the friendly wars not starting, gems bought not arriving properly, and only one troop allowed to be queued at the barracks instead of four.

No official explanation has been issued so far by Supercell about the issues experienced by the players.
