[BUG] Dead battles in the MP "Games in Progress" list

There have been two dead battles in the bottom of the MP "Games in Progress" list for three-four days now. Please delete these spectator traps. If you click on them, you are stuck in the loading animation until you reload the game site.

I'm a little perplexed why you, Blue Manchu, would leave these be for such a long time. Haven't you noticed them? Haven't they bothered you at all? Are you going to do the same if such stragglers come up again? I haven't come up with any explanation for not killing them at first notice.

 

Hey Jarmo,

Thanks for pointing this out. This is the first time I've heard the issue so please rest assured that we aren't just leaving the battles there out of spite for our players. We'll get it taken care of.

Thanks!

 

So, when we release the new build (very soon), it will kill all dead rooms. That should clear it up.

EDIT: And they're cleared!

 

Thanks for clearing the list!

I get it you personally as the forum manager don't look at it but hasn't any of you scrolled down the battle list for several days? Or no automatic alarms for dead battles? Feels weird to me.

I'm not suggesting anything like that. I know you guys respect your players, probably too much for your own good .

 

Hmm, as you were already planning the dead battle -killing build, maybe you wanted to keep the authentic dead battles around to live test the new feature once the build was released?

 

It's the same process as killing them manually, I would wager - just done automagically now. Just keep us in the know if it doesn't work as intended

 

There's one like that now idling on the live server for you to use in debugging. I think it's been there at least since yesterday. It's "spuzva's battle vs ZeTropa".

 

Another one hopefully usable as debug fodder: "Jonathan_Betancourt's battle vs Morechairs53". My, what nicks.

 

Great! Thus doth progress progress.

 

There's another zombie match in MP.
"Soda_q's battle vs Lynn216".

 

The weird thing is, I'm quite sure I remember a previous zombie match with the exact same pair of players, maybe around the time of the first or second set of leagues? It was before the latest map rotation for sure. I wonder if checking out the last one would help the devs fix this bug.

 

It's quite natural as a pair of friends would often be arranging shared casual matches.

 

There are two dead battles in MP where the opponent is listed only as (0).

 

There is a third dead battle in the list, a casual match: "Retread vs. Merble"

 

"lalloman's battle vs Clash270000"

It's dead, Jim.
