Possible bug: online games and disconnections

PhilD · #1 November 13th, 2005, 06:30 PM

I saw exactly what you've described, including the "PhilD wins" message. Then when I returned to the lobby and clicked on my name, it showed my record as it was before the game, and when I checked the rankings, I was still "in play". Still am, at the moment of writing this.

I'm not sure, but I think I had this happen another time already. I couldn't say who was the opponent, though. And I'm not 100% sure I didn't get credited with a "win" in the end.

(Not sure it might matter, but eternaloptimist did have several disconnections during our games today; each other time, though, he managed to reconnect before the timeout. This time, he had just announced he was going to concede)

It's been about 48 hours since our game, and we're still marked as "in play" - the timer seems to have been reset at least twice in the meantime.

Do we get extra points for very long games?

The state of that game was corrupted. I'm thinking it may be caused by accidently closing the game or losing connection when the server is trying to figure out if the game is over or the player is trying to reconnect - not sure exactly what it is yet, but the server will need to be more robust in handling this situation.
