View Full Version : Post Arcade Glitches/Bugs Here!
PirateInferno 04-14-2007, 12:27 AM Ok I'm going to spill it.
Glitches
Super Fly- right before you win, click quit then play again. You will have the same score at the beggining and can score higher.
Sonic- if you lose that's the only time you can submit scores
Bugs
Canuck Rally Snowmobile- longer you wait higher the score
Island Off-Road- same thing here
Hovercraft Racing- same thing here
Anybody else got glitches like this?
Mods please try to fix this if possible because racing games are boring when you sit and wait to become 1st place.
And another thing. Puzzled sheep, Marvin's Space Bowling, or Pyoro doesn't look to be working for many people.
Updated with AlexKZ
AlexKZ 04-14-2007, 12:52 AM Oh and lets not forget the Sonic Glitch I posted in another thread. When you win the game, you can't submit your score. But when you lose you can.
Uh.. Shouldn't this go under the Arcade Section of the forum?? MAybe a Mod can move it. :)
Now back to get more highscores. :D
:magic: AlexKZ
Batleth 04-14-2007, 02:43 AM Glitches: shut these off from tournaments. Unable to fix otherwise.
Super Fly- right before you win, click quit then play again. You will have the same score at the beggining and can score higher.
Sonic- if you lose that's the only time you can submit scores
Bugs: set these to lower score wins.
Canuck Rally Snowmobile- longer you wait higher the score
Island Off-Road- same thing here
Hovercraft Racing- same thing here
Need to look into these:
Puzzled sheep, Marvin's Space Bowling, or Pyoro doesn't look to be working for many people.
AlexKZ 04-14-2007, 03:02 AM I found another glitch/bug. In Finnair only the plane is there, no Moose are falling from the sky.

:magic: AlexKZgame worked good for me. I was able to submit a score too. I see lots of people have played and many have higher scores than my quick sample playing. Maybe something is wrong on your end?

Turned these games off. Unable to play correctly or fix.

I guess something was wrong with my end. It worked, but the moose started falling about a minute after I started to play. Guess that's on my end too. Sorry for the confusion.

PirateInferno 04-14-2007, 01:31 PM Thanks batleth..
I think that there is another.
One time I played micro machines powerboats 2nd level i hit the edge and i was in a huge amount of white and couldn't get back.
The problem with puzzled sheep is that it keeps submitting it hyperly and does not stop. Jungle jumble 2 let's you submit but it says you did not submit from the game.
Batleth 04-14-2007, 03:55 PM Thanks batleth..

Mirco Machines seems to work and able to submit scores. Must be just a minor glitch in the game.
Jungle Jumble 2 - Unable to submit scores, but seems fun to play. I shut it off from having tournaments.
TheMoth 04-17-2007, 03:25 AM I don't know about you guys but i can't submit scores on Hyper Doughe. I've tried for a few weeks and i get sent to this weird page with some error message. But I see the high scores have been scored recently so it might just be me.
PirateInferno 04-17-2007, 03:03 PM Ok that is weird TheMoth..
I've been playing it i'll go check that out..
And this a thread for glitches on VMKF arcade not VMK..
And also, woot me for 200th post!
PezDude 04-17-2007, 08:53 PM For the past 6 tries, it hasn't let me save my UFO Recording scores.
Batleth 04-18-2007, 01:33 AM For the past 6 tries, it hasn't let me save my UFO Recording scores.
Though it's kind of a fun game, scores can't be saved. I turned off turnament play for it.

TheMoth 04-18-2007, 03:28 AM Here is my error Batleth:
It has date and time so i guess it's probably a glitch for me
Bkpadre 04-19-2007, 12:24 AM I have that same error as theMoth for Pacman
Batleth 04-20-2007, 06:07 PM After doing some checking and talking it over with Nick, we're unable to fix the mysql error that keeps happening. We can only hope that they will fix this problem in future updates of the arcade. It is a rather newer plugin for vB and still has a lot of bugs to be worked out.
gigarichard 04-20-2007, 06:14 PM Am I the only person who cannot submit their score in Flysui?
Batleth 04-21-2007, 04:23 AM Am I the only person who cannot submit their score in Flysui?
Just click the play again button and it'll auto submit your score. If you click on submit, it seems to lock up.
bee2u 05-23-2007, 07:39 AM The past couple of times I've played Fun Fun Animals, partway through all the animals turn black. Now, I like a challenge as much as the next person, but it's REALLY hard to tell them apart by their siloettes.

I'm using IE 7 and the newest versions of flash and shockwave. I managed to get to 10th place on my first try and never ran across this bug. I believe the problem is with your computer. Might want to update some stuff or double check your settings.

It's done fine until the past couple of days, I don't know why it started this. What settings should I check?
AlexKZ 06-12-2007, 11:25 AM This morning of 7:19am (est), I found that the Arcade Shows Mike1087 being the new Garage Door Tennis champion twice. So I decided to view the score, and it said Mike1087 had only scored 12, and Dinodave still has 91.
EDIT: I decided to play Garage Tennis, beat his score^ with only 16, and now it says I'm the new champion? Oh yea, and it does that double saying I'm the champion on the main arcade page...? Also whne you look at the post corner where all highscores are shown, it says Garage Door Tennis twice.

MagicMonkeys 06-18-2007, 04:54 PM Here's something from Hungry Hungry Hippos-I can't submit my score! How do I?
Batleth 06-18-2007, 05:52 PM Here's something from Hungry Hungry Hippos-I can't submit my score! How do I?
After you play the game: it shows you the scores of every hippo. There's a black space above that. You'll have to fish around with your mouse, but the left side is a hidden re-play button and the center has a hidden submit button.
MagicMonkeys 06-18-2007, 05:57 PM Thanks:) It worked.
MagicMonkeys 06-18-2007, 09:05 PM Sorry to double post,but I found another glitch,and if I edited my own,not many would see it...
It's a double high-score for Helicopter by Mathewmouse. He got 14th and 15th!

Fixed the double score caused by a bug.
And no problem on the double post. This is a rare case where a double post is acceptable in order to bring it to our attention.
Thanks for the report!
MagicMonkeys 07-04-2007, 12:34 PM I also found a third: http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/arcade.php?do=stats&gameid=242
It says bee2u is the top scorer,but Angel_fancy is at the top.
bee2u 07-04-2007, 08:15 PM Yeah, I think it did that because we have the same score, but I got it first. There are several games that do that when you have a tied score. (Show one score higher than the other on the high score list, but reverse it in the rankings. I think one goes by first achieved, and the other goes by faster time.)
Free Cell Solitare is also still not scoring correctly. When you finish, it used to give you points for the time remaining then submit your score. Now it justs sits until you click resign, then sends that score without the time left bonus.
CelticPirate 07-08-2007, 01:34 PM Daffy's Studio Adventure has a pretty major glitch.
You don't have to play the levels you can just walk back and forth over the same two tiles and your score will increase. If your willing to put the time in you can get any score you want.
bee2u 07-09-2007, 09:13 PM Scoring for conundrum should be lowest score is top score, since you are to work it as fast as you can. Currently, it has the slowest score in first place.
AlexKZ 07-25-2007, 01:28 PM Ummm... not sure if this is a bug, but shouldn't NoName Game 2 Game be lowest scoring, because anybody could just sit in a single spot and raise their score, then go to the finish.
:magic: AlexKZ
cteddiesgirl 07-26-2007, 01:41 PM Hmmm. In Jungle Jumble, I am in first place with the faster time. But it's showing BlueStarburst in the box as top scorer.
Batleth 07-30-2007, 08:40 PM Scoring for conundrum should be lowest score is top score, since you are to work it as fast as you can. Currently, it has the slowest score in first place.That's the way it is set.

Ok, it says I'm the highscore, but when your on the screen to play the game it doesn't. It says the other person has the high score. Plus, it doesn't show it on the scrolling thing in my post. But when you submit scores for NonName Game 2, on that page it says I am the hogh score. And I have 15 High scores, and I'm not on the main arcade page, while bee2u has 14 highscores, and is on the main page.

PirateInferno 08-20-2007, 04:28 PM Time for me to post on my own sticky.
Has anybody noticed that the Extreme Skating has backwards scoring? (highest wins, you have to hold up for the entire thing)
Also, I am champion of Crazy Maze.
Why am i not the best score of all time?
I played Rally 2100.
I beat the whole thing, I couldn't submit my score. The whole thing just restarted.
Also, I'm champion of BOT wars with a high score of 1900?

We'll look into Extreme Skating scoring.
About CrazyMaze, since you have a tied score with the highest score (ever), usually the first score or the one achieved in the shortest duration will be displayed as the all time high.
Rally: Unfortunately, that can happen with any game sometimes depending on timeouts and internet connections.
BOT wars: It's not currently showing you as the high score.
PirateInferno 08-21-2007, 03:25 PM What I mean is, somebody has the all time high score that is lower than real highscore. Same thing with Get Groovy.
Also, the backwards scoring is Skatemania, not Extreme Skate.

Also, the backwards scoring is Skatemania, not Extreme Skate.The difference in the scoring could be due to whether the score was acheived during a tourney or just regular play. I've had that happen to me before when I had the highest score.
Thanks for clearing up the Skate games, that makes more sense and it will be fixed :)
PirateInferno 08-22-2007, 03:23 PM Thanks, and also you should close down super fly because too many people are cheating at that.
I am one.
I am sorry.
Also, Mr.Fox is pointless because at the end you just bounce on a stupid tree thing.

PirateInferno 09-11-2007, 08:07 PM Here's some more:
Space Rescue - If you are at the boulder screen with 1 health left and 1 life left, bash into a boulder. You will die and advance. You are now invincible for lots of points.
Someone cheated at Color Jumper somehow.
Drag files is messed up - no human way to get 4534, not sure if someone cheated.
Everytime I check the arcade page, Mr.GreenGene wins at Crazy Maze, Crystal Island, or Bunny Grab and he doesn't do anything o.0.
I was playing Square Assemble I lost and I clicked and I scored 37000 points.
Yeah.. more might come.

Looks like this tournament isn't going well at all. Got 2 people eliminated before it really has gotten started because of a bug in the tournament system. Once papersouls vs king lurker is completed, it should fix things. Just hang tight till that section of the tournament is over. If that doesn't correct things, please let us know.

It's there for me. It works and everything.
PirateInferno 10-18-2007, 07:46 PM - Totally Fixed -
Ali-Rae 10-19-2007, 02:08 AM oh well my arcade button dissapeared from the top.
there isnt even a space for it or anything.
piratewithskill 10-19-2007, 02:35 AM Odd. Mines still there
Wendot 10-19-2007, 10:19 AM For goodness sakes my score keeps getting claimed by Mr.GreenGene those highscores are not his!!!!!!!!!!!!Fix this already!!!!!!!!!!!!!
High scores should be updated now
Mr.GreenGene 10-19-2007, 11:37 PM Despite your wishes, the scores will always revert back to the way they are now. Several cycles ago, when you won a game that had a lock score (a score that can not be topped) you kept it even though others scored the "same" score. Last cycle that changed and now you can get the high score just by a tie. The last person to get the top score is first. There is no way now to prove that you were indeed the first person to get that high score. In fact, you were not first in either of those games (Crystal Island and Crazy Maze) I even went so far as to enter the word "first" in the comment box for Crazy Maze to remind me of that. If Wendot requires proof of this, just look at the times that we won that high scores and you will plainly see that indeed I was the first player to get the "lock" score. Under the current rules, anyone who wins that game can get the high score from me and you. If you want to change the rules now, please give me and all the other players fair notice so that we have an even chance of getting the high score first. Just giving you high score because you complained about it isn't exactly fair now is it?
Wendot please do not adjust the scores in these games until we all have a fair and balanced discussion about how the arcade works for these games. In addition, Bunny Grab, Tarzan Jungle Jump, COCO Penalty, Daffy Jumper and Matchstick Soccer also score in this manner.
Oh in addition to the above problems the timer for all these games is messed up. Using time as a measure of ability in most of these games is useless since the timer is not reliable. I suggest that you just leave things as they are for this cycle out of fairness to all and fix things in the beginning of the next cycle. Right now ANYONE can get those high scores and that seems fair enough to me.
DarthMelissa 10-20-2007, 04:48 AM I keep having an issue of my high score thingy not showing on my profile for FreeCell (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/arcade.php?&act=Arcade&do=stats&gameid=242).
It appears that it is reverting back to whoever gets the score last. Which, drives me crazy, because the top score available is only 260. This game ranks in order of speed, which seems to be the only way to figure out who should win it.
So is there anyway to fix it for this game? I have to go play a game everytime someone else does so that it will revert back to me. I show as first place, but like person 10 shows as the champion because they played it last.

If you would have read the post directly under yours you would have seen me address this topic for several other games and a few other players who are having similar problems. Since the timers are not accurate, time is not useful in this case so there is not a fair way of assessing a winner. I hope that this will be addressed in the next cycle, but for this cycle I am asking that things remain "as is". The reason is clear to those of us that have played in every arcade cycle, if you understand the rules going in then you just have to play according to them. If you attempt to alter the rules now it will benefit some and prejudice others. I agree it stinks having to defend a score over and over but I been doing that for about a year now so welcome to the club!
DarthMelissa 10-21-2007, 04:56 AM I read the whole thread before I posted green :)
What I am wondering is how the timer is not accurate?
Mr.GreenGene 10-22-2007, 01:04 AM I read the whole thread before I posted green :)
What I am wondering is how the timer is not accurate?
In some of the games the timer shows 8 seconds for a game that takes at least a minute to win. Other times it shows 25-30 minutes for a game that takes a minute to play. I have seen wild swings in the times so my opinion is that they are unreliable. Your experience may vary and I don't dispute any opinion you may have on the subject. I have just played long enough to have seen too many funny things happen here to trust the timers anymore.
Mr.GreenGene 10-22-2007, 03:18 PM Here is a fine example of how the timer is messed up. The game scores you are looking at are from DTunnel. They are the current scores so you can verify what I am saying. Just to explain to everyone not familiar with this game, you have a ship that you need to navigate through a tunnel without crashing into the walls. You score points for getting farther into the tunnel. You go at a constant speed and there are no bonus' available. That is why this game is a great example, the time and the score are directly proportional. The farther you go, the longer it should take and the higher your score. Notice the scores and the times played are a mismatch. How is it possible for two players to have close scores but such different times? Lucky33325 and ronosamiam have almost the same score but the time it took to get their scores varies greatly. AlexKZ and poloshia have fairly close scores on the same day but their times vary greatly also. I stick to my opinion that the timers are unreliable as a measure of proficiency.
king lurker 10-23-2007, 01:03 AM I have a better score but it eliminated me? any thing that you can do?

PirateInferno 10-23-2007, 07:27 PM Ok, Mr.GreenGene this is very interesting. I remember when it said 9 seconds for RustyCopperPenny to beat Bunny grab. That just doesn't make sense, you are right.
tiggersfolley 10-29-2007, 01:25 AM I've noticed that the time updates everytime you play. So lucky33325 probably played dtunnel again but lost at the 20 second mark.
CaptainLegoDude 10-29-2007, 05:17 PM Hey! Lookie There!! IM IN THAT!!! LOL
PirateInferno 11-01-2007, 09:33 PM Go EeyoresFamily! Hooray! >.<
-----------------------------------
Ok then. Let's see.. Does it take 2 hours to get 50 holes in Panda Golf? Possibly. 30 seconds for Crystal Island? No. Timer is seriously messed up for like, what, every game it seems. Totally agreeing with Mr.GreenGene, and in falldown, it takes like 10-15 seconds for the next level, not 5. So it seems..
Having it that way Mr.GreenGene suggests is adequate yet intelligent. He can steal mine, and I can get them back. Fine with me, we'll fight over them. :smiley5::smiley55:
AlexKZ 11-02-2007, 01:31 PM Haven't posted here in a while, considering I only am claiming scores I can. (Ultimate Ping), but I think I know what is wrong with the timers. The arcade only takes the first played time of a game.
For example: Person A scores 125 points in a game. They submit the score. On the score table its shows they had made 125 points in say 25 seconds.
After a bit, Person A plays the game and does alot better. The score is now 1500 points, but the time is still 25 seconds.
If you don't get what I mean, try it out on a game. Yeti Long Shot is a very easy game to use this example on. 1224 distance in 5 seconds?!?!
:magic: AlexKZ
PirateInferno 11-02-2007, 03:28 PM That's a pretty good idea Alex.. How come I can't claim my Crazy Maze anymore? o.0. Anyway, I've been missing you. It's a little less challenging without you. I'm sorry I ruined the 1 chance you had so far to be in 3rd >.<
But you can surely beat another highscore right? I can't take credit for what you did and I improved at.:wave2:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr.GreenGene 11-04-2007, 01:26 PM Something has changed in the arcade so that the scores are fixed into their current order. I can no longer take a score back that is mine and apparently others can not take my scores. I'm not happy since it is clear I had some of them first but as long as it stays this way I can live with it. Mod please post what you did to alter the scoring so that I can understand it TY.
Stemaboat_Tyler 11-04-2007, 01:50 PM how do you submit a score in Hungry Hungry Hippos?! o_o
Mr.GreenGene 11-05-2007, 12:40 PM The game is supposed to do that for you but sometimes it does not.
Also the problem I spoke of yesterday is changed today. Sorry for the mix up.

Stemaboat_Tyler 11-06-2007, 12:11 PM oh.... Tyvm Now i can finally submit my score
PirateInferno 11-06-2007, 09:13 PM Ok Mr.GreenGene I think it has to do with speed I'm not quite sure though..
Mr.GreenGene 11-12-2007, 01:04 PM I just took my time and won every games first place.
It's neither time, speed or velocity. It's just dumb luck and how the site is working that day.
I have no better explanation than that.
Anyone who begs to differ is a

HAHA JK!
PirateInferno 11-12-2007, 11:27 PM I did that with Crazy Maze - no luck..

Stemaboat_Tyler 12-23-2007, 12:32 PM Ultimate Ping's screen is to little. You cant really see your score...
now it doesnt say I have a score for Tarzans Jungle Jump ( or something like that ) and i got 12500...
Sorry for double post

TooHip 01-13-2008, 10:10 PM Pong seems to work fine for me. I did notice that the ball has to hit the paddle on more than the edge though.
jedibunny 01-15-2008, 01:42 AM in Jungle Jumble 2 whenever i play and try to submit a score it says it did not submit and my score wasnt saved (is that why the high score on the right says 0?)
TooHip 01-15-2008, 05:21 AM Thats correct. Jungle Jumble 2 Game is not submitting scores.
Stemaboat_Tyler 01-18-2008, 11:10 PM Why doesn't Jungly Jumble 2 not do scores?
PirateInferno 01-21-2008, 11:02 AM It says it doesn't submit from game.. as to this, I have nothing.

PirateInferno 01-22-2008, 01:30 PM You already get 1 point to start. This is normal.

Kangaforlife 01-29-2008, 02:48 PM Is there a secret to playing long arcade games and not getting timed out of vmkf? I finally figured out how to play my current addiction, Crystal Clear, and i was only able to submit the lowest of three scores I earned late last night, and it took 40 minutes to play that game, according to the scoreboard. The other two games must have taken longer. I know I was definitely logged off of vmkf when I finished one of the games and was unable to submit my score.
PirateInferno 01-29-2008, 03:43 PM Kanga - all I can say is I'm not sure.. it hould have ben fixed. Batleth should be able to figure this out though.
Stemaboat_Tyler 02-01-2008, 12:49 AM OK, I tied the score for Tarzans Jungle Jump, and I tied with the score. It is not accepting it. I have dont this before so I wonder why it isn't taking it.

hmmm, I'm never logged off VMKF, but I think if you were to log back in before submitting the score it should work.
