Found something broken on the website or in the game, that isn't a plugin enhancement issue? Let's check it out.

Missing game data on the game finder display.

Post by zen330 »

Game #24740925 in the Game Finder screen showed only three lines
(Balkan Peninsula, 8 Players, Quadruples)

with no data on spoils or reinforcements.

After joining (via the "Waiting" tab) it showed the three missing fields (Escalating, Sequential, Chained).

Also as something that might be considered a glitch and as the suggestion forum seems to be a magnet for toxicity, can I suggest that games that have no immediate openings - i.e. they are not filled but the only openings are already taken up by invites - not be displayed in the Game Finder display.

Other related options could be that one could choose via the game finder criteria screen whether such pseudo-full games show up or not, and/or that a waiting list be added on for teams that are only "full" by way of invites in case those invited do not accept.

Could be a glitch? Can't seem to find an open game with missing fields as of now.

This should be in the suggestions forum, not bugs, regardless of toxicity.
Trust me, things are calmer there than they used to be :)

Yes I think it was a glitch, I don't recall seeing that happen before, just thought the site should know about it in case it's an easy fix or a sign that some new code was causing problems.

@Apatheist - Ok I will test your theory.. though without a reason given as to why things are "calmer" now I somewhat expect the toxic element to reappear and continue spamming my threads with toxicity at some point. If indeed the toxicity has been dealt with then kudos to the site for that.. an important thing to take care of though not one with obvious immediate effect (nobody wants to get their suggestions or other comments spammed with hate, and will likely check for this before posting for the first time).

OK went looking for new games just now (6 or 8 players, not random, triples/quads, sequential play, 24 hrs, waiting & public games), and am seeing the same lack of data on reinforcements in a number of games, for example #24753163, #24745183, #24745181, #24735630, and many others.

Game 24753163
Game 24745183
Game 24745181
Game 24735630
They are all Chained.

To clarify, if the game is chained, the system isn't bothering to provide that data from the Game Finder because it is seen as a default setting.
This is along with Initial Troops, Sequential, Escalating, Round Limit & Round Length (first entries).
