guest can't play anymore

[winsoftware]

after upgrading to new version i get this error msg while playing as a guest:
"Notice: Cookies are required to proceed beyond this point"

after logging in everything is ok. where is the problem?

@mrzeropage: plz check your pm ;)

[MrZeropage]

guests do not have an unique userid, so we use cookies to store their sessiondata.
If cookies are blocked by the browser, they can't play.
All registered users that log in do not use cookies to store their sessiondata...

[winsoftware]

but i use cookies too and a can't play as a guest.
and i see on "who is online" that all guests get an error msg.
you can try here: http://forum.winsoftware.de/arcade.php

Also on my arcade board , some error... cookies are enabled, all function are ok.

[MrZeropage]

please enable the (new) debug-mode:
open /arcade.php
right at the beginning you see $DEBUG=0; set this to 2 (verbose mode) and tell me the output when getting the error again.

Remember to reset this value to 0 after this is done ;)

[winsoftware]

i got no output :/
but i got the error again.

[robb9]

Zero ceck in arcade.php line 2680:

// check if cookies are working
if ($guesthash != $_COOKIE['guesthash'])
{
$std->Error( array( LEVEL => 1, MSG => 'cat_pass_notice') );
}

maybe check level is wrong... If i delete this line guest can play.

[winsoftware]

you get the same error in your arcade?

[mattswanson]

I am getting the cookie message as well. I have gotten this in multiple computer/browser configs. Cookies are enabled on all of the computers I have tested this on. I am also not getting an error message when I set the Debug to 2. Permissions are set correctly (guests can view and play but not save).

Am I missing anything else?

[MrZeropage]

Hmm, this appears if the cookie could NOT be saved.

Please tell me your mailaddress via PM and I will provide you an adapted arcade.php with debug-output to see what is going wrong there

I upgraded to 2.62 this morning and have the same issue.
Notice: Cookies are required to proceed beyond this point

Thanks for your hard work. Took a while to find this in support.

[MrZeropage]

Ok, I see the problem and try to fix this ...


** edit**

ok, I see that I had a logical problem while implementing a "cookie-checker", did a fix and will release this soon (v2.6.3+)
Will first patch some other bugs and then we hopefully have it ;)

[JJX]

Is there a temporary fix we can do by editing a file?

[MrZeropage]

the fix is already included in v2.6.2+ everything should work fine there ...

[JJX]

I've just installed 2.6.2 and still get this error for guests:

[MrZeropage]

oops, sorry, wrong thread, thought it was the "post per day" thing...

guests can play in v2.6.3+ again, which is coming in the next days

[mattswanson]

Any word on timing of 2.6.3+? I've got a bunch of guests starting to circle the place with pitchforks and torches...

Also I'm going on vacation so I'm guessing that it will come out the day after I leave and everybody will have to wait a while...

Thanks for the great mod...

[MrZeropage]

v2.6.3+ should come within the next 12-16 hours

[Stifmeister2]

v2.6.3+ should come within the next 12-16 hours
*w00t*

And 2.6.3+ contains a fix for the score saving & time problem? Can't wait!!

Good work Zeropage! ;)

[MrZeropage]

yes, time is fixed and score-saving should work now, if not is has extended debug-information

[Stifmeister2]

Great. :)

[tpn87]

Guests still can't play in 2.6.3 :(

** Edit... my fault. It works! :)

[duncan99]

Yes, guest now can play but the option not to allow guest save score is not working....

I got this error when guest tried to save score:
