TF Arcades Fun ChatIf you have something to discuss regarding any of the flash arcade games in TFs arcade, or any of the other games featured such as Yahtzee, Critters, Sudoku, Hangman, Ludo and the likes, then you should do so in this section.
This score was not submitted from the game. Your score will not be saved.
Transmission Timeout (4.1274 sec) (not always those secs had it shown at 2. ???)
I don't have the fastest comp I know but when I spend over an hour playing Xeno Tactic to get that shown it really does pee me off. Several games I can't play now for some strange reason and I stopped playing Flash TD 07 because of getting error when submitting. I'm not a happy bunny as you no doubt can tell
I've been working on this and I'm pretty much at the conclusion that it's not TF or your computer Moonie, almost all of the recent issues are something to do with Flash itself, they mainly started happening after the last Flash update that they released. The actual developer of the arcade script itself is working on a new release for the arcade though, which should hopefully address some of these problems.
Unfortunately though, in the meantime, all I can ask you to do is compile a list of the games that are giving you problems. But please post it to this arcade section and not via PMs, so that others can see what games have been reported and so hopefully others will follow and report games not working and the likes too.
You have got to remember though Moonie, that all the games and the arcade itself, are third party software, I didn't actually design them myself, so when it comes to problems and bugs and the likes, I am at the mercy of the various relevent developers to provide help and again, unfortunately with a lot of the games, they are released as is and will never have fixes for any bugs that are found in them.
Cheerleader and Cookies to start off, it doesn't happen everytime I play though
Atlantis Quest please update the player to version 6 I'm on version 10 and when you first put it in there which wasn't that long ago it worked fine lol
Xenotactic is the only game in the arcade i've played recently, and its timed out on me every time with 1 exception.
The only time it didnt time out i played the whole game without tabbing down to taskbar or swapping tabs/windows, so it might be one of those that causes the game to hang breifly, and thats enough to cause the problem.
Just tried again as a test, and only swapped tabs within the same IE window and that caused timeout, i'll try playing again later and only tab to taskbar to see if that give the same result.
I've tried the game a few times myself in the last few days, as I've been aware that it has been one of the problematic games (damned if I can get over 9K though), i've tried to get the game to do the time out, but so far it has played perfectly and submitted every single time for me. I've tried all the exact same techniques that you have, yet i've not suffered the time-out at all.
The time-out issue itself is a game security thing built directly into the arcade. Unfortunately, If TF is having one of it's go slow moments which it's been having recently more and more due to needing certain software updating, I can't do a great lot, as I can't personally effect the time taken for your personal machine to connect to the arcades database to submit the score, all I can really do is ask you to please bare with it and keep trying, as the developers of a lot of TFs software are working hard on new versions of their software and have already been told to hurry up and release them, which hopefully would make things work a little better and smoother all round.
I am still doing what I can do from my end though, so please don't think i'm not working on this. I've spent a lot of time in the arcade in the last few days and it's not for just fun purposes.

yeah I noticed and don't lie you're having fun in there nabbing my titles you swine lol
By tabbing do you mean minimising ? I don't minimise and still get timed out, it's a long game on my PC everything is long on my PC come to think of it
I've managed to find an updated version of Xeno Tactic and have installed it.
Not only should the NaN problem be gone, but there is also a new bit, you can now have walls.
I can not however guarentee that it would stop the time out bit, but having just had a game myself, it did everything as it should.
Give it a shot anyway please and report back your findings.
Please note, that some of the prices of stuff in the game has changed.
I also have another updated version of the game I can try, but have to test that first. If it all works properly, it is Xeno 2 Vehicles so it could run alongside the first game.
Edit: Ok, Xeno 2 doesn't work properly, so i'm not going to bother installing that one. I'll wait for a decent working version of it to make itself available.
Just played it now I got over 8k submitted and it said score not saved blah blah in other words you didn't beat your old score and I know I did yet another game I won't be playing for a long while that's just bloody annoyed me
Just had my first go of the newer version and it seems good, tho as i didnt beat my old score i dont know if i'll get the same bug as moon got if/when i do.
Few changes i noticed, mainly the NAN bug seems fixed so no more loosing all your gold by clicking on the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Laser turrents are now cheaper to buy and 1st few upgrades are cheaper too (tho you do need 25gold before it lets you buy 1 still, even tho it only deducts the new price of 15gold from your bank)
Mobs now notice when you sell something, so they no longer walk round an empty space where a turrent used to be untill you build a new one.
The X button no longer works, so if you pick a turrent from the menu and decide not to place it, you have to place it on top of an existing turrent to cancel it.
yeah I noticed that about the mobs I clicked sell and as I was about to put new one down I saw mobs marching through cheeky sods. When I loaded it I sat here thinking what the hell do you do with a wall if you find anything other than using it for turning mobs let me know. Have you noticed damage seems to have gone up ? The Boss ones seem to die quicker also those spider looking ones that give 24pts each. I used the same map and upgraded as I usually do and as I've played it so many times I knew where abouts the last one would die lol. I'm just annoyed that my score didn't save I know I got over 8k and like I said this PC is slow and it takes me over an hour to play it

If mobs are near the start of your maze and you know it'll be a while before you need to upgrade, try opening a new tab, when i do that the game seems to speed up whilst the game window isn't the active tab.
Hadn't noticed any extra damage, i've been trying a slightly diff stratagy recently to try to get a bit further into the game as i always died on the same lvl using my old 1 so i don't know where each mob should have died.
Only use i've found for the wall is to turn mobs around, or to put in spaces that i usually buy/sell alot to make/block shortcuts to the higher damage dealing turrents.
Bah, I beat my top score on Xeno Tactic and it didn't submit the score for me either. I think there is an issue with the new version, the game works perfectly well, but I simply replaced the game file itself and not the actual install...
What I have to do i'm afraid is remove the game completely and reinstall it from scratch, which means the top scores will vanish too.
It's not my personal preference, as it means we all may have to go through all 6 levels again from scratch, but it makes sense long term having a proper working version.
Fine by me is that Det I don't mind playing for over an hour as long as the score submits
I've installed the game from scratch again now.
It does need testing though, so if it does do the non-submit thing or whatever, don't be annoyed, consider this a beta period for it, hopefully it'll work, but I won't know till i've got reports back and tried it myself.
I've unlocked mission 6 so I'm all set to go had to close it down as my sister rang I saw you set the goal so it saved ok, now go beat it see if it saves it again LOL

I have played it again and it did save, but it has been a bit weird and saved the same message though. Not sure if that was a computer issue from my end or what though. It's something that's going to need a bit of monitoring from me as well as from anyone else who plays it.
I'll play it a bit later this evening again to see if I can do it again, although I do have the highest score i've ever managed at the moment, so it could be a tad tough for me to improve. Damn flying monsters. Dunno how these 11K scores can be got, but I guess that is the target.
Timed out
so no more loosing all your gold by clicking on the wrong thing at the wrong time.
