The Official MBP 1.50 Bug Report Thread

Mac, duh. You know who/where I am.

~ There's a "Checking mission consistency" bug where sometimes it gets stuck on that screen.I think it gave errors once, I can't remember. Others have reported it too. You can fix it by canceling and trying again.
~ There are still two other "me"s on the LBs, which should really be removed.
~ I think guests MAY produce a duplicate logoff, with " has logged off" as the message.
---- Probably related to Higuy's fake logoffs.
~ Quitting the LBs seems to be an error in the console.
~ Prev/Next Category buttons on Marble Select (at least in Singleplayer) reset the selected marble to zero, even though they do nothing.
---- No cancel button on Marble Select.
~ In mbpPrefs.cs, there's highScoresplatinumbeta[] and HighScoreNameplatinumbeta[] prefs, which each store exactly the same thing. Why are there two of them? Isn't that very redundant?
~ Total Wasted Time counter is STILL broken (intentional?)
~ Online statistics that's green which you get to from the level select has a bug where your ranking (pg 3) is one rank lower than what is said from the General/Total buttons. It's consistent for each.
---- Clicking "Next" while it is loading is allowed, and shows unloaded statistics on each page (disregarding the "loading..."), which will load in after a few seconds, as would be expected.
~ Per-level global LBs keep wiping for no reason. One time I saw it with just me on it (#1!), with "Nobody" (exactly) underneath it. Not sure if "Nobody" occurred after second place, or if it was Nardo Polo. Sometimes it won't wipe the moment after it shows.

(I'll edit this one for now.)

About the Level Editor:

~Whenever I click on a powerup or interior it doesn't show up.


And I'm on Windows 7.

Traced log for the bug where the leaderboards for each lvl sometimes disappear (Probably networking chaos.)

~ Higuy messed up the dedicated server.

WORKING ON IT

~ MP lag icon shows sometimes even with the ping at the bottom right.

Intended behavior IMO, lagicon means that you're dropping packets completely, ping meter is how slow your connection is

~ Logged in count doesn't seem to work before you login. (Shows zero)

Fixed

~ The Singleplayer interface is ugly. bring back the 1.20/previous ones.

I like it, Matan likes it, not really going to change it

---- The thing shades the screen upon clicking the More button, even though there isn't a proper GUI screen.

Fixed

---- Too many moved buttons, too confusing to use, drop-downs are annoying, and small icons make it hard to see what the button does.

Can't say much about this, although it's not confusing after you get used to it

---- No top 5 times??? (totally not obvious)

Click your best score

---- Button icons need mouseover text. Do it.

RAAAAAAAGEE

~ The "Some servers not shown" message doesn't reset to not showing before the list starts to refresh, if you just reopened the server listing. Trivial? Yes. Confusing? Yes. Works when you click "Why?"? Yes. Should be fixed? Of course!

Fixed

~ Pre-initialized Mac build can't read zip files, so you have to unpack the files to use them, or else no playable levels, and CRC error on login.

Yeah that's gotta be fixed soon

~ I apparently had a ghost server on the list after hitting cancel before I finished loading/starting the server.

Can you explain this more?

~ I have to open the server, to where anyone can join, before I can set any server access settings. Propose an "Open/Publish Server" button?

I guess this is kinda counter-intuitive... will think about

~ "Keep Resolution?" message loses newline after the bold text, after the first "tick". (Options Pane)

Fixed

~ Shift-backspace counts as an "invisible" key, and gets in the way of deletion, grr.

Engine bug, sorry

~ When connecting to my server: "Client Marble BlastKid failed validation. They may not be who they say they are!" (in console) When it clearly is. Should get log.

Fixed

~ Port forwarding indication eternally says "Checking..." Also should get log.

Probably fixed

~ When in Multiplayer, the private chat initially starts with the head of the chat, until someone chats in the private server chat.

Fixed

~ In MP, some light beams weren't funny rendered. I have a picture because the game promptly froze shortly afterwards.

It's a depth buffer render bug, really wish we could fix, but it doesn't seem possible.

~ The game can periodically freeze.I froze twice, both while on MP. First I froze, then the music stopped a second later, then I was locked up. However, on the second try, the game looped the rolling sound, while it was hanged. It was evidently unresponsive, as it only gave me the option to force quit. (as opposed to the "quit" option)

T-t-t-trace log?

~ There's a "Checking mission consistency" bug where sometimes it gets stuck on that screen.I think it gave errors once, I can't remember. Others have reported
it too. You can fix it by canceling and trying again.

Yeah this is caused by not requesting the file fast enough. Not sure of a fix other than to automatically do what you do manually.

~ There are still two other "me"s on the LBs, which should really be removed.

Wait what?

~ I think guests MAY produce a duplicate logoff, with " has logged off" as the message.

Possibly?

~ Quitting the LBs seems to be an error in the console.

Ok. What error?

~ Prev/Next Category buttons on Marble Select (at least in Singleplayer) reset the selected marble to zero, even though they do nothing.

Should fix, maybe

---- No cancel button on Marble Select.

Just press "ok", there's no need to cancel

~ In mbpPrefs.cs, there's highScoresplatinumbeta[] and HighScoreNameplatinumbeta[] prefs, which each store exactly the same thing. Why are there two of them? Isn't that very redundant?

Oh well

~ Total Wasted Time counter is STILL broken (intentional?)

Bug, will fix for the next release

~ Online statistics that's green which you get to from the level select has a bug where your ranking (pg 3) is one rank lower than what is said from the General/Total buttons. It's consistent for each.

Oh snap (will fix)

---- Clicking "Next" while it is loading is allowed, and shows unloaded statistics on each page (disregarding the "loading..."), which will load in after a few seconds, as would be expected.

Fixed

~ Per-level global LBs keep wiping for no reason. One time I saw it with just me on it (#1!), with "Nobody" (exactly) underneath it. Not sure if "Nobody" occurred after second place, or if it was Nardo Polo. Sometimes it won't wipe the moment after it shows.

Fixed

I just clicked preload on multiplayer server,when preloaded it redirected me to singleplayer menu outside the leaderboards why?

•^ Guest presses the host server button, and immediately cancels. This leads to the singleplayer level select screen. (Playing a level acts like it is playing a multiplayer level with 78 gems, but is stuck in "waiting". Also exiting the gui leads to the home gui and doesn't logout the guest)
•Guest hosts a server and plays in game. The marble starts off looking like it has a mega marble, but has a collusion box of a normal marble.
•On the Multiplayer Lobby screen, preloading changes the global chat back to server chat. More of an annoyance than anything though.
•Spectating using ⌘-C isn't actually changing to spectating (intentional I guess, but could be used to an advantage?)

I suppose the new SP interface will get taking use to. Keep on working in bugfixing and the such!

I don't mind the new GUI. I am of the opinion that if you can include more information on the same screen at the same time, then you should do it if it's not too cluttered. However, as it is now isn't that bad either.

As long as it's not frustrating, I'm fine with letting the devs decide what they think is best.


Bug: LB chat history is no longer showing.

Crash: I'm attaching a console.log
I just logged out, logged back in, then it froze, then the window disappeared. The app hadn't 100% fully crashed yet, I had to force quit it, but normally when it freezes the window stays up.

Caught an instance where it said "Nobody" -- normally this superquick bug has my name before it. Usually happens when it is loading before it wipes and such.

Hmmm, is this a bug?

Okay, no more multiposts!

I found some more bugs, with guest logins. My sibling logged on a a guest, then at some point somehow jumped to the home screen. Then she logged back on, and then there were TWO guests connected to the computer. I was logged on, and the old guest session did NOT disconnect. Later, in the MP lobby, each line of chat was repeated consistently. When her MP game crashed and she had to force quit, only then did both guest session disconnect.

Also, my sibling cannot log on. Her account is created, yet it return invalid username/password on logon. Still. (Leela286)

All that in (hopefully) this logfile. Hope I didn't get the wrong one.

Noticed the account issue, I added a fix to the chat server that should fix this problem (quick call to checkCreateAccount() if the account doesn't exist). Only problem is that I have to restart the chat server, and that'd kick people off. Until late tonight when that happens, try having her open the webchat page (it also checkCreateAccount()s), and see if that fixes your problem temporarily.

When we alt+c before match is going to end and then alt+c after match has ended,we can still play(we can move our marble but no blast and powerups)

Dedicated server:
When someone left the games, it says '/x[playername] has left the game.

The account successfully logged on a few hours ago, thanks! I feel like I'm missing a few bugs.

.... Bump?

I found an issue with the new Ctrl-Fn keybinding in MBP. It turns out that they are bound to OSX functions. For example, Ctrl-F12, with a slightly lazy keypress, brings up the Restart dialog. Same for some other keys. On the other hand, I found another OS feature I hadn't known about.

ANTI-3-POST EDIT:

My sister had a super challenge with "marble bloopers!", and upon seeing the SC dialog, the player name was abbreviated to "marble". When playing there were three names: "matble", "bloopers!", and my sister. The "bloopers!" name got the level advances and the time counts.

Also, lagging sometimes fails to get you in the challenge.

•SP’s play button doesn’t have the “return” shortcut.
•When pressing SP’s difficulty categories, “escape” key doesn’t close it, but instead is linked to the menu button.
•In SP, using the search to load a level doesn’t check to see if the level is unlocked or not. (Did my download get screwed up? There are levels unqualified for.)
•In SP, beginner level “Training Towers” is missing its ultimate time (2100). “Ramps” also doesn’t have an ultimate time.
•On Mac, the info for the application doesn’t captialize the t in “team”: © The Platinum team. (... )
•In MP, in the handicaps, the column of checkboxes for players aren’t aligned, especially when there are several people with long names.

The server, and game, seems to be closing when I'm trying to start a match. I check "I'm Ready", press the button to start, see "Waiting..." for a split second longer, then the window dies and the game exits. The thing is, the game doesn't seem to be crashing at all. There's no error or signal happening. I ran a trace log, and from a quick glance, it looks as if someone simply started the function to quit.

Also, I'm (now) running Ubuntu 14.04.

For the Mac's info, it's simply a matter of changing a line in the .plist file. It has nothing to do with the game and is all entirely within the Contents of the bundle.

I don't know if this is a bug to be reported in this thread, but its the usual connection time out error.

Running on Windows 7

Sometimes i need to double click to activate the mega marble powerup.

Epicenter is very glitchy for mac, your marble gets stuck on edges and inside interiors.

First off, this happens only on the Mac dedicated, not on a local server. We knew about it for ages.

HiGuy and I just spent the last hour redoing the map file in both quark and constructor and using both map2difs and it still happened, so it's definitely something wacky.
Upon further inspection we found it only happens when the rotation of the interior was 0 0 -1 90 and 0 0 1 90. We created new interiors (rotated 90) and it was fixed.
So while we were at it, we fixed all the epicenter interiors.

Thanks for fixing it! Now I won't fall into interiors every time I play

GUI messed up in lowest resolutions

Scrrreenshot proof?

Known if you use 640x480 res because the UI asks for 800x600 MINIMUM and even then some of it is really squished and doesn't work well. I recommend 1024x768 or 1280x720 minimum.

Video proof(in one of my vids)

Edit: Bug: Jump Tutorial(Beginner) Doesn't have Music

Known bug. Because we removed some music for the Beta 1-3, some levels have no soundtrack in them.

Is that super secret stuff

No, that's the result of fixing the falling though the interiors bug.

Just a minor one but a bit annoying:
I've noticed that the jukebox plays songs randomly. (One for every time you enter a level.) When it picks out 'Pianoforte' (The music file exists, since it's the main menu theme.) to play in the level, 'Pianoforte' doesn't play. I have to go to the Jukebox and click on 'Play' to make it play.

Here are my laptop specs:
AMD A10-4655M APU @ 2.0 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7620G + 8600M Dual Graphics
8GB RAM
Windows 8 x64

I am playing in Kancheepuram, India.

Other than that, MBP 1.50 B3 is as solid as a rock. Keep up the good work guys!
