Problems and Bugs

[Mike Bobbitt]

Nope, that would be bad.

 

[HavokFour]

Well I suppose it was a random glitch then.

I just thought I would mention:
if anyone on these forums playing the game does not want their actual name revealed online.... do not choose to have the player badge displayed on army.ca

I say this because the roster is much like a database that includes all names of people playing the game (it runs through facebook, so it knows your name)... and the player badge on army.ca is like a fingerprint that can be matched to the info on the roster.


Maybe instead of having our facebook names on the game's roster, there is a way to have our army.ca screen name show up on the roster instead?

Edit: added more

Just a followup on this report:

A really determined person can still find the real world name & Facebook profile of any of the players by going to the roster, clicking on a username, and copying the ID out of there:

http://apps.facebook.com/afghan_ops/?function=showplayer;u=501332941 <-- my PER

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=501332941 <-- my Facebook profile.

Perhaps the game database should have a unique "player ID" instead of using the Facebook profile ID?

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Thanks for the note Alex. Changing over to a new unique ID would be a massive undertaking... Not only would I need to manually update the existing data, but I would need to touch just about every part of the program... likely breaking lots of things. I'll try to find a better way.


Cheers
Mike

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Fixed.

 

[crooks.a]

Perfect. I was going to suggest using the unique ID only for the publicly displayed parts, but this is a lot easier.

Level 1: Tripped Over A Gridline
Situational Awareness Reaches 50
Incentive: +5 Situational Awareness (50MP)
50 / 100 (50%)

First level doesn't trip, shows the progress bar for the second level.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Try it now...

 

[PuckChaser]

Looks good! I won't click it as I'm saving up for a Badger or something neat like that, but it displays properly.

When redeeming the MilPoints Spent medal, level 3, I noticed my CG634 Helmet was at 145%.

When I spent the -2CR to increase my proficiency level, the extra 45% from the previous level did not carry over
to level 3.

All of the numbers on the Int Dossier medal bars seem to be +1

IE, the medal for the first one shows 2/2, the medal for 10 shows 11/11, etc.

Not a big deal now but my head will spin when I collect my 25th and it's only showing 25/26  ;D

Is the game offline?

I was waiting for the CR to regen and the game seems to have disappearred. When I select the game (either through my FB home page or through the link at Army.ca) all I get is a blank page with the FB header and sidebar.

I reported this one here: http://forums.milnet.ca/forums/threads/96429/post-969586.html

The problem seems to be with the army.ca domain as well.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Sorry folks, the game was offline last night and fixed early this morning.

That was me trying to find the cheap/easy way to get past another problem. It should show properly now.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

kratz, your equipment should show properly the next time you train on it... and I guess I need to fix that up too.

So my CR is 31.  It's inflated to 41 because I used a +10 incentive to inflate it (for 12 hours)

A few minutes ago I used the Instant Combat Readiness Refill...  but it only filled up to 31 and not 41.  Being a refill, shouldn't it fill up to 41 due to the use of the +10 incentive (beginners luck medal) which is still in play?

The only time the "+10 for x hours" refills is on a level up.

I think that's a bug. A refill is a refill, should work regardless of bonuses and fill whatever your current max is.

 

[Trinity]

I just leveled up and it filled up to 41 properly as it should.  Don't know why it failed earlier on the refill.
