Game score and winner not in sync

Post by killerking »

Hey guys,

A similar bug like the 5-flag territories win on If I had a trow.
This time it happened on last man on the hill game. I won it, but the in-game score (shift-f7) showed ksaize had the flag.

I've attached the recording.

Was the game using 1.7.1 gameplay?

This bug was fixed in 1.7.1, but your game was played in 1.7.0 mode.

I hate the people who don't update! :evil:
Can't we force people to update?

Just out of curiosity: did I win that or not?

Perm score (endgame) determines who wins and loses. If it says you won, you won, if it says you lost, you lost.

Actually just because perm says someone won does not always mean that to be the case. Perm accumulates. So if you played 3 games and no new player joins, it will sum up the perm scores of the games before the latest. So if team A was winning in perm by game 2 and game 3 they tied... it would still show team A as winning perm because of the previous games.

I mispoke. I meant perm score as in the permanent score that is logged at the end of a game - e.g. not the in-game-score but the one at the end that is the end-game-score the 'permanent' score for that game that is added to what is more commonly called the perm-score - the cumulative score.

sorry for my sloppy word choice.
