And another problem... xD now - online scoreboards

[maciejs]

Another problem from me. I don't know if it's my phone (SE W200i), or just tough luck. But I tried to upload my score from some games, such ike Attack Stack, Attack Breaker Challenge and Attack Trap Classic. I type my user name, game is connecting to internet and after several seconds it pauses. I press fire and the only message I get is "Error Press Fire". In AC2, Attack Brain and Origami games scores work properly.

Now there's a strange problem. The older games all handle scores in the same way, and the newer ones handle it slightly different to the old ones.

AC2, Attack Brain, Origami : All should be using http for online scores
Trap, Stack: Use sockets if available

So the problem here is that for some reason or another, your device doesn't like using sockets, but doesn't really tell the application that. Instead the device lets my app TRY to use sockets, and then not give it a connection. I've seen this bunches: Mobile devices are stupid, and some carriers restrict one or the other, http or sockets or both. My Nokia 5200 has the opposite problem, and only lets me use sockets, but not http.

I've been humming and hawing about how to fix this automatically. I may implement some sort of 'fail count' for the current connection type, and switch to the other after 2 or 3 failures. Sorry for the troubles

Hey Adam, this is the same problem I have been having. I will have to see which games if any have working scoring.

Word. Not much I'll be able to do about it unfortunately. I haven't worked on those older games for quite some time.

Sorry to hear that.
