What's the status on "incomplete" high scores?
« on: November 13, 2010, 05:24:59 pm »

I am still seeing it in my game. I played a few campaigns in a very old version, maybe around 2.0? Now I've played a few games with 4.0 and every high score is listed as incomplete.

I am using the Impulse version in XP. Someone in the thread mentioned uninstalling from Impulse and reinstalling to Steam. Any other ideas?

I thought I also had a bug where my achievements list had everything listed twice (all 200 achievements listed once, then again), but I just checked it and it seems fine.

We haven't been able to duplicate it reliably, but it's definitely something we'll be looking into again after the 19th, when we're spending a couple of weeks in intensive polish and bugfixing mode.  I can appreciate it's really annoying -- same to me -- but typically the saves that people report as incomplete show up as complete when we load them on our development workstations.  Or at least that was the case last time we looked at this, months ago, before the 4.0 upgrade.  Hopefully this will be less elusive this time!

Interesting, I didn't realize this was something that was inconsistent between installs. I've reinstalled 3 times on my desktop and twice on my laptop and never had these things work. Glad to hear they'll be getting a look once the LotS stuff is in hand. :)

Just a friendly "+1, I get this bug all the time"

Am I doing something wrong when I finish my game?

Same here. Never had a finished game, except waaaaay back in 2.0 somewhere.

Still elusive, I see.  I've yet to win a normal game, but have won several defender matches and while I get You Win, the high scores always show as incomplete.  Installed from Steam on 7 x64, a little disappointed.

The 19th?  Is there any particular reason on why you will be looking at AIW again after that date :D

This one should be resolved since the 4.061 prerelease.

From the patch notes:

Quote
Fixed loooooongstanding bug where a completed game would not show up on the high scores list if another record was already there with the same map seed and a higher score. It will now prefer a record with the IsGameOver flag, even if the score is equal or lower. Also made it log the game result more promptly after IsGameOver is set.

    Thanks to many, many players for reporting this many, many times.

Not aware of any instances of this still occurring... this thread is from quite far back.  If folks are on the latest beta and it's still doing this, if you have a savegame that it's  doing this for, then we'd definitely appreciate having that savegame posted to mantis so that we can look at it.  Might still be some edge case we're not aware of, though as Ixiohm notes we thought we'd nailed this bug to the wall 6+ months ago.

Sounds good.  Opened issue 3473 and attached a save with less than a minute to go.

Okay -- thanks!  We'll see what we can see.  Fingers crossed we can reproduce. :)
