My members and myself get this message on dozens of games. Its rather annoying and hopefully there is a way to override this problem.

"This score was not submitted from the game. Your score will not be saved."

I cannot duplicate exactly *when* it happens, but it seems it happens when you beat the high score perhaps more than once per day. I could be wrong, but either way I'd like to override this.

I'm not using any portal at all. My site is Talk Jesus Forums / www.talkjesus.com

Here are the general guidelines i use to prevent this error 99% of the time on my board.

1. increase your session timeouts in vbulletin settings (around 30 mins is good unless a game takes longer to play)
2. make sure holdsession.php is uploaded and in the right place.
3. inform your members to use the remember me box when they log in
4. inform your members not to use the refresh or back buttons in their browser to start a new game.
5. inform your members to only play 1 game at a time

i used to get nothing but complaints of the same error, but since following these guidelines the error has all but disappeared.

Being honest when I was using shared hosting this happened quite a lot when the server load went up. Tried a lot of things to fix it but once I went dedicated it has stopped. It may just be something you have to live with until you get a better server.

yeah me too. Remember me is checked. I am on a dedicated server with low server load. The game only went for 160 seconds. not long enough to be a problem either way. And I get This score was not submitted from the game. Your score will not be saved.

Why?

My members are starting to wish I was on v3arcade still :/

But if you are using vbSEO - make sure you have it disabled in your arcade. We found that having rewrite rules in the arcade would mess with the arcade scores system.

I had the same error and now I have not this problem anymore I did this, I will try to explain how, my english is not very well.

When I got to my forum the url in the browser is http://www.myforum.com for example, when I got in the arcade the www was not there, so I go to my acp/options/Sitename URL Contact Details... and there I set for my forum url and url homepage www.mysite.com.

So far this is working for me... score setting is going very well now..

All the new games I have added recently will not save scores. I get no error messages, it just doesn't save them.

I just upgraded to 3.7.0 and was wondering if I need to upgrade the arcade or something?

yup, I installed 2.6.6+ yesterday and migrated from v3arcade, so far "I" didn't had any problem with the scores, but a few users had...i'm going to tell them a list of thing they should do to avoid this and I will let you know



edit :

after telling to my users the thing they needed to do to avoid this problem, one of them got this :

Error #011 -> gid=150|ui[a_sess_gid]=150|g[gid]=161|vs[mid]=39|vs[gname]=maeda|gamename=throwme

that error means he opened 2 games at the same time ? (maeda and throwme)

I still get errors even if opening up only one window using no tabs.

Anyway, lets say for some of the games it is a tab problem, cant it be fixed? because it never did that in v3arcade.

Just don't add any rewrite rules in vBSEO for the arcade. If you had them from your previous arcade, take them out or comment them out from the admincp->vbseo control panel.

Mine seems to be error 10 and 11 more than 8. I'm still on 2.6.7 at the moment though...upgrading will take me a little bit.

A while ago I added to the error message text a link to a thread asking people to post the error messages they got...here it is. As you can see it happens quite often, mostly it seems the game id is not being put in the URL somehow....

There was a change in the htacces.. i thing. Or it was the aracde.php?

But i dont found that one.

Pitman
02-22-2009, 07:24 PM
My problem is due to my .htaccess file. I have /index.php redirected to / and when it tries to save the score, it redirects to /?act=Arcade&do=newscore rather than /index.php?act=Arcade&do=newscore which causes it not to save the score.

Is there anyway to either change something where it saves the score to /?act=Arcade&do=newscore (no index.php) or a RewriteCond I can use in the .htaccess file to work around this problem?

anyone got any hints on why some of the tar games' score could not be saved?

maybe this will help you if you has problems with scores

open arcade.php

find
setcookie('gidstarted', $id)

and change it to

setcookie('gidstarted', $id, "/")

yes, you get this error with the latest version of the arcade but only with the vbsdeo rules installed

So if you use this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=190490
you have a great chance to get that error

Just a thought.

Are you playing the game and then pressing the back button and trying to submit the score on the second attempt? One of my members could produce that error everytime he did that.

I'm having the same issues on my forum. I cannot reproduce it myself, but have gotten many complaints. One person it happens to every time, some days every game they play. I made sure they weren't opening games in tabs, weren't using refresh, playing only one game at a time, making sure they have checked remember me. It was happening with my old shared server, upgraded to a less crowded server and it seems to be the same if not worse.

Is there any answer for this at all? Using VB 3.8.2 and IB 2.6.8

i have been getting errors on my arcade:


This score was not submitted from the game. Your score will not be saved.

Error #001 -> vs_gid=892 | cookie_gid=892 | gameid=


are we not able to fix the problem?

My problem is due to my .htaccess file. I have /index.php redirected to / and when it tries to save the score, it redirects to /?act=Arcade&do=newscore rather than /index.php?act=Arcade&do=newscore which causes it not to save the score.

Is there anyway to either change something where it saves the score to /?act=Arcade&do=newscore (no index.php) or a RewriteCond I can use in the .htaccess file to work around this problem?

This score was not submitted from the game. Your score will not be saved.

Transmission Timeout (0 sec)

many players have met these errors, any fix?

ipro3.6.8 +VB3.8.2

Server-Timeout (seconds) for Score-Submission is set to 30 already

Latest version of VB + the arcade. Seems like lots of people are asking the same question and getting no answers ? I am not running VBSEO. Timeout is 30 mins. I have debug on are the error code is 1. Does anyone have any input to make ?

Found a sort of solution. Games installed from .tar files were fine. So I deleted all games that were not installed from .tar files and replaced them.

I'm new to all this stuff, and I don't claim to understand most of what the arcade code does. But I was tracking down a problem with scores not saving in IE and I found that the problem was related to the code around line 3375, which seems to be some sort of fix for a problem with IE. Around line 3439 or so there's a check that looks like it determines if the amount of time the game was played is reasonable, but I was finding that the time was 0 and so I was getting an "Error #005" 'your score will not be saved' message. This seems to be related to the fix at 3375 which sets the game start time to the current time. The problem is that the game end time is also the current time. I "fixed" this by subtracting 1 from the game start time around line 3375, so the code in that area now reads:

$vs['sessd'] = 1;
$vs['start'] = $gametime - 1.0;
$vs['randchar1'] = $randomchar;
$vs['randchar2'] = $randomchar2;
$genscore = $player_score * $vs['randchar1'] ^ $vs['randchar2'];


Maybe this is server-dependent so that it doesn't happen for everyone.

--------------- Added 1256259354 at 1256259354 ---------------

Another problem I found with scores not saving is that people get logged out while playing, then their browser "hangs" when it tries to save the score (assuming they haven't checked "remember me" when loggin in). I found that the "holdsession.php" file wasn't working to keep the user logged in, for two different reasons. One is that there's an error in the file. On the last line starting with "echo", there's an extra backslash right after 'URL=', so after URL there should be no backslash between the '=' and the double quotes.

Also, at least in version 3.8.3 of vB, the session was still not being held because the 'lastactivity' time was never getting written to the database. I tracked this down to the fact that it's done using "shutdown_query", which doesn't execute the query until the end of the page request, but since "holdsession.php" doesn't use any of the vB output functions, the query never gets executed. I fixed this by adding a call to "exec_shut_down();" as the last line in holdsession.php.

This score was not submitted from the game.

I had same Problem after i manually updated the required Files for Security Reason from v2.7.2

Lots of Games didn`t save Scores anymore. And also my Search Function within the Arcade didn`t work well anymore....

Maybe you got the same Problem like me?

New Filter of SQL-Keywords is filtering some words that it should not such as "or" . Search-Function hasn`t been able to find Games like Factory Balls.

When Highscore gets saved it takes the game ID as Key, but also other Infos get submitted. So the Guess is, that here this Filter also takes Action and prevendes then the Saving.

Maybe you want to check on this?

This is a problem with any game that has the words "and" or "or" in them (e.g., any "Word" game). This is a result of the ibp_cleansql function in the arcade.php, and the developers using this function to check and clean all game name input.

There are two ways to fix this. Create a separate function copied from the existing function, and remove the lines with "and" and "or" in them. Then go through the code and anywhere the code calls ibp_cleansql for game name, simply replace it with your new function name.

Alternatively (and probably less safe, security-wise), just remove the following two lines from ibp_cleansql in arcade.php:


$sqlcomm[] = 'and';
$sqlcomm[] = 'or';
