same time glitch

Dunno if this is a sametime problem. But, I've noticed recently while CREATING a game, that it gives me an error for a missing value, when I have selected everything (double checked). Most noticeably when I'm trying to host a 2p sametime game on the Saturn map. It comes right, after switching the options around then reselecting what I originally wanted or refreshing and starting from scratch. Just wondering if that problem has been reported by anyone before.

nice red stripe hood :)

[spoiler=red stripe]The red stripe was by accident. It has been removed.[/spoiler] Anyway, this is a glitch with the new Create game page and not sametime games. Please see if you can reliably recreate the problem. It might be impossible to find the root cause without being able to reliably duplicate what happened. Once you can reliably duplicate it then please post a detailed step by step so that we can make it happen too.

i'll try to re-create the problem,..red stripe? Fendi made me a consultant plot, i dont see a red stripe :)

[spoiler][IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/2lxvvnk.jpg[/IMG] Took me a few tries today but it mostly worked. here's a screenshot of the error,..just went through the normal steps that i have done in 1000's of games, it either happens or it don't. Just noticed last few days it happened bout a 1/3 of the time. The only thing different that I've done that I can see, is just choosing this map. [/spoiler]

I can't duplicate the error. Which browser are you using?

chrome.

If you click on the Capitals one again it should solve the problem. If not, try Ctrl-F5, and see if that solved it.

I think this was what happened to me. The timer got stuck at 0:00:00 and I could not take my turn, and lost. Game 539259.

@Hood, seem as you can edit all forums, could you put spoiler tags around your image in: http://www.dominating12.com/forum/?cmd=topic&act=view&id=1539&page=3#post-27082 above. My screen has a horizontal scroll bar. Thanks in advance.

done

Thanks mate!

I am not sure that there isnt already a thread specific to this glitch, but in http://www.dominating12.com/index.php?cmd=game&sec=play&id=594595 I added troops on alaska, and.. well they disappeared, not accounted for! the territory was NOT conquered at the same time, so this seems new to me. 28 Dec, 05:21:24 Northwest Territory (ElectricBlue) attacks Alaska (BETA) killing 0 troops, losing 2. 28 Dec, 05:21:24 Alaska was reinforced by BETA with 4 troops. I was using firefox. [url=http://www.dominating12.com/forum/?cmd=topic&act=view&id=1822&page=1#post-25700]when a territory is conquered, and troops are placed on that territory in the milliseconds between the troop count updating and checking that a territory is defeated. - addressed by Vexer here.

It's not a new glitch. You placed in the middle of someone else's attack. The results of their attack overwrote your placement. It has to do with the horrible way that data is retrieved and saved to the database. I haven't looked at the code for the rewrite yet but I hope we won't have the same issue.

In the rewrite that error cannot occur, as the event log stores all moves. However, we do cache that, so there some things can potentially go wrong. Lots of locks are placed though, so it should be ok.
