This score was not submitted from the game.

I've received this warning with *some* of my games.

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

The error returned was:

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

The arcade is correctly counting the number of plays, but not the time played (showing up as 0)
Most of the Yeti games are like this.
This was formerly a v3 installation (having officially given up on John this week).
Out of the 309 games, currently 64 have scores (but I reset the scores so my minions might not have gotten to them yet). I know there are quite a few games that worked that do not now. Most of them were formerly ibp games anyways just installed from the rars in v3.

I am using a front end, which was causing all kinds of problems for all of my games but after reading the write up about it, it fixed some of the problems (but obviously not all).

*bump*

Same problem.
Is anyone listening?

Oh joy, why I havent seen this thread before converting from V3A to IbProA???
They already start complaining ...
Hope you find a fix soon. The error is only for vb forums? Or for Invision too?

Got more errors:
- someone played ice age 3 and his high score is appearing 7 times !

Same problem. Why is there no support for this as it's a problem for all?

I have a stable VB + arcade.

I have also noticed a spike with games not scoring recently.

9 of the last 15 downloaded will not save a score for anyone.

I do not download from download sites unless the site has a score for the game.

This is not a issue like needing the "remember me" or something checked, it happens to me too.

I have tried secure sending and regular.

What else should I try?

I am sadly also experiencing this problem. I'm getting feedback that games sometimes work and sometimes don't. I find it odd that all these different games would have the same problem so concluded it is something to do with the arcade.

I found this happens very often if you go from the game screen and view the highscores then press the browser back button to play the game. But my users now say it also happens even if they go straight into the game.

This seriously has to be the worst bug in what is otherwise a brilliant script and I cannot understand why Mr Z is not responding with any comments here?

I saw 2.5.9 was up and i was so hopeful this was fixed... no such luck

[MrZeropage]

Well, my main problem is I can not reproduce this error.

I administer several vBulletins from 3.0.x to 3.5.x/3.6.x and none of them has this problem while using correctly converted games (which I almost got from www.ibparcade.com)

What I got told is that some SEO-products do spoil the score-transfer and thus the index.php and arcade.php should be configured to be untouched by any SEO/rewrite-rules



So what should I do ?

[alexi]

After the upgrade to 2.5.9 I tried some different games. It turns out that most of them work. The 2 that don't are pacman and asteroids. This is on a strictly default install, with the default games and no SEO software or hacks.
Maybe there is something similar in those 2 games that gives you a clue?

[mrbossman]

I've installed 2.5.9 & it works fine apart from the scores.

I'm running vbAdvanced so have changed my index.php page to forums.php

When I try to save a score it automatically wants to save to http://mysite.com/index.php

Is there any way to change this to http://mysite.com/forums.php

Sorry guys am pretty new to this.
