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

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

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?

Here is basically what I'm using in my .htaccess file, if I remove this part, the scores save. I need the scores to save and the functionality of this to remain the same.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*\/index\.php?
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php?$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Adding:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !act=Arcade&do=newscore
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !autocom=arcade&do=savescore

Has seem to have worked.

This one works great!! thanks for that:up:

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.

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.

I am having this exact issue but I do not use VBSeo. Was there any resolution to this?

after updating to v2.7.2+ many games (new and already installed) give me a error like this:

This score was not submitted from the game.

Error #011 -> gid=14569|ui[a_sess_gid]=14569|g[gid]=|vs[mid]=37|vs[gname]=BandItAS3v2DR|gamename=BItAS3v2DR

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?

Mahoni999, thanks for your answer. I read your thread, but i didn't understand how you solved.

[Mahoni999]

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?
