Players movements reset when other players move board tokens

[chrisrudy]

Affected Scenario(s): 108

Describe the bug
There are three players playing remotely. One of the players (not myself) was in a state where, whenever the first or second player move their token, the third players token resets to the original position.

It should be noted that neither the first or second (the non-impacted players) can see the movement of the third player at all.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have three players playing remotely
2. Add three character tokens to the board
3. Player 3 clicks on a character token and moves it to another space
4. Character only moves visibly for one player

Browser : Chrome

That's going to be a fun one to test 😄

It sounds like the third player had lost connection somehow and it hadn't been re-restablished properly. I'll give it a go and see if I can figure out what might have gone wrong. Out of curiosity were you all using Chrome? Did the third player try refreshing the app, and did that help at all?

[chrisrudy]

ha! Yeah totally agreed. It was a very odd one that I imagine will be a doozy to repro. We were all using Chrome and refreshing the page didn't seem to help the behavior. We have another game planned for next week so I'll be sure to follow up if this happens again.

I ran into this as well, in a 2 player game. One player would move tokens and they wouldn't change on the other player's screen. When the other player moved tokens it reset the first player's tokens and showed those new changes on boths screens. So in effect only one player could change the board and have it sync correctly.

If it matters, the player whose sync was working joined the game/site first. Refreshing the browsers (Chrome) didn't fix it.

Odd - I can't seem to replicate it 🤔

I guess the first thing to check is that everyone is running the latest version of the app... in the bottom right, does the Version number read 1.12.0? If the version is different then try forcing a reload (Ctrl + R on Windows, Cmd + R on Mac) until the version is 1.12.0. If you could let me know either way, that would be great 🙂

[chrisrudy]

Sure thing! We have another session this week. I'll report back if we can repro and get some more info for you. Anything else I can grab while we're at it?

@chrisrudy The only other thing that might be useful (but is a pain to get hold of) is the state data of someone who's in sync, and someone who isn't 🤔

To get that data you'll need to right-click anywhere on the board and click 'Inspect', in the window that opens then select the 'Application' tab. On the left, under 'Storage' there should be an entry for vgb.purplekingdomgames.com, click on that, and then copy the data directly below the Value heading (should look something like {"config":{"appMode":"game","game...) by double-clicking the entry and pressing Ctrl+A and then Ctrl+C

Once you have that then copy the data into this issue, and I can completely replicate what you're seeing on this end (hopefully 🤞 ). It's a big old faff, but should give me something very solid to work from, but if you don't feel comfortable doing it I completely understand 🙂

I have goals of doing development myself (albeit, I'm very new to it still :P ) so I love nerding out on this kind of stuff. More than happy to take a swing at getting you some logs if it happens again.

Welp, some great/not so great news. We logged back into our session tonight and everyone was able to interact with the page normally. No luck trying to reproduce on our end sadly. Might be fine to close this as can't repro but I'll be sure to update it if we run into the problem again. Thanks for your help!

OK, thanks for trying again.. I'll keep this open for now in case anymore people get the issue and want to report it 🙂

@eheikes Did your group experiance the same thing again, or does it appear fixed?

[eheikes]

We only play every other week, so I haven't had a chance to check again. I'll let you know after we try it again.

[eheikes]

We tried again and experienced the same problem -- sync only worked for the one person (not the first player to join this time).

[hobnob]

Hi @eheikes , Any chance you can get me the logs (I mention how above). I could probably do with one set of logs from the person who has the problem, and another from someone who works fine. I know it's a bit of a pain, but I can't replicate it here at all ☹️

[hobnob]

So an idea occurs to me... does the player experiencing the problem have 2 tabs of the game open? It's a bit of a long shot, but worth asking 🙂
