Error Reports, hope it will help. :)

I have the arcade set to de-bug mode. So i hope these errors will be of help to you, ZeroPage

• Hold session is already uploaded.
  
• Debug mode set to 3
  
• Running latest version

Error #010 (this error happens when the score is not sent to the database, and the player tries to re-submit the score twice, and this does not go away from that particular game unless the user reloads arcade.php Because when the user does this attempt, they have no way of getting back to the original game in which the score was not properly submitted. This has been tested on 7 different forums, 7 different servers, with 7 different configurations.

this can be reproduced by the following means.

1. When a user presses the BACK button, or SHITF+BACK upon completing the game with out properly submitting the score
2. When a user Presses F5 when the game has been finished and then try's to play that game (by directly clicking on the link to the game but without loading arcade.php directly.
3. When a user looses temporarily Internet connectivity for a few seconds. (especially on wireless routers)
4. connection timeout between the database and the arcade, which results in the user pressing the back butting, and attempts to submit the score again

#23 no session (my forums is set to expire after 90 minutes of in-activity) but the maximum time a player has spent playing a game is 60 minutes) This could only be re-produced on forums running alot of queries been sent back and forth, especially numerous users within the arcade, and especially if you have the arcade linked to any credit system.

1. Running the arcade within multiple windows, AND browsers.
2. Playing the arcade within WINDOWS IE7.
3. Playing the arcade with an INTERNAL IP, only if someone else within the same house is using the EXTERNAL ADDRESS
4. Playing the arcade with two accounts at the same time, within two different browsers/two different windows..
5. The game is not converted correctly, and was originally not designed for database querying

Error #011 (can not reproduce this problem)

on error#010 this is all normal, nobody should reload the page or anything like this, the arcade stops this as a cheating-attempt.
If connection gets broken, same result and normal behaviour.

About error#023:
-> multiple windows and browsers is normal, you are only allowed to have ONE instance of the arcade at once
-> same for different accounts using same IP and broken games

only problem known is IE7 - I still got no idea what is the difference to all other browsers including IE6 which was working fine...

Does anybody have an idea what IE7 is doing here ?

Ya,

we encountered a problem when running the arcade within IE 7, but it was only within MS Vista.

Mainly because of the new feature, The new security zone protection feature that is called Protected Mode.

As ya know, this sets up a separate cache than the regular one. As well as any cookies from that page.

Protected mode is enabled by default, so turning this off helps. So it seemed to us. Or by adding it to the trusted site list.

???

any idea how to work with this ?

I noticed some problem that IE7 does not call the verify_score function before saving the score, no idea why this is not done correctly...
