Title: 1/28/10 - issue with Lobby and update
Post by: Sgt York on January 28, 2010, 21:27
Just wanted to let people know..  in case anyone else is having the same problem...

I have had MULE a few weeks now.  Several of the updates have worked without a problem.  However, today, the game wouldn't launch and wouldn't say there was an update either.  The game wouldn't start.  I reinstalled it, and it seems to be working again.

HOWEVER, there is also a bug now in the forum.  It shows there are OPEN games, but when you go to join, you get a message that it has already started.  It doesn't seem to be updating when they launch.   2 others that joined a game I started, said they were having the same problem.

Just FYI.....

On the lobby note... It seems the server (Lobby) isn't aware of games being played. Right now, all 4 games listed are showing round 0 of 12. At about 2pm (central time), I played a game called Mahool (54.90). No record of that game exists, as far as I can tell (using game listings by user). After we finished, the game lingered in the lobby listing, too.

yep.  I just played one today, and it doesn't seem to be showing up either.  No change in rank or status.  I exited the game and relogged in, to see if the update is stuck on only load time - but that didn't show any difference either.

I'm seeing the same problem still today. Three games shown as "open" and at "Round 0 of 12" but I cannot join any of them because they are actually in progress.

It appears this issue may be worse.  I don't see any of my games showing up in my stats either.  I just finished a game, and when I went to profile to look at it, and/or hi-scores, that game does not show as a game I have played.... weird.

Same thing happened to me.

This is likely directly linked to this issue: http://www.planetmule.com/forum?topic=650.0
Games fail to start so they show up as if they haven't started. Then after a while the server find out that these games are broken and cleans them away. Until that happens they still show up as open in the lobby.

We've done a fix which we hope will correct this and we will investigate this further on monday. Please see the thread referenced above.
