MArcomage

i can currently not create new open invites - it says "Failed to create new game!". this is so since yesterday evening. i did not change anything in my settings. does someone else have the same problem?

I have the same problem.

Likewise. And judging by the extremely few games available at present, it's probably the same for everyone.

I have the same problem.

Same here, and i can't challenge anyone.

Same here, no new games possible

When I try to create the game it does not show up in the 'outgoing' area of the messages. Anything we can do to help?

Hi guys, this may be related to the maintenance that umage is doing. I will let him know.

I have some update on the issue. We are in a process of changing hosting provider and are migrating the whole application. It seems that the new hosting has MySQL strict mode enabled. This mode was disabled on the old hosting, hence the issue. This issue has severe impact on site functionality. Here is a list of features that are not working:

- game creation from any source
- user registration
- deck creation from any source

I have just sent umage details on how to fix the issue so please have patience.

Yeah, I can't believe the old server was running with strict mode off...
For the moment I (hopefully) turned it back off, and will address this properly during next maintenance. Let us know if there are still any problems.

works again, thanks

Awesome, thank you for the quick response and heads up!

Working again. :)

Thanks a lot.

It's back!

Now the error message is "Failed to create new challenge!". :(

Thank you for your help with this!

Thanks for reporting, I'll have a look.

EDIT: I have tested this and it seems to be working fine for me and other players (since there are many games hosted currently). Please describe in more detail how to reproduce the error ideally with screenshots.

I'm new to posting on the forum, so I don't know how to include screen shots, but I'm having the same problem. I tried to challenge Sudain by going to Players, then to Sudain's profile, then clicking on the "Send Challenge" button. I get an error message at the top of the page that says, "Failed to Create Challenge!"

For a few weeks, I had an error that said I couldn't host or join anymore games, and I thought it was just a new limit on the games (since after some games were completed, it didn't go away). Now, I don't get that error anymore, just the "Failed to Create Challenge" one when I try to start a new game with a specific player.

I hope this helps some--thank you for looking into it!

Thank you very much, this is exactly the information I needed to fix the issue. I have fixed it in r2441, however it may take some time to apply the changes.

In the meantime I recommend using the new game client which doesn't have this issue.
