Technical Support / Game Removal Thread

[CheapyD]

Post here if you are having problems with one of the games and/or you think it should be removed.


Although I can look for different versions of a game that isn't working, I am not able to fix any of the games as I am not a Flash games programmer.

It is obviously prefered if you can provide a direct link to a game that is compatible with IbProArcade.


Thanks and have fun!

Pub Quiz is not even loading up the first question and then quitting.

[AdamInPlaidum]

I had the same problem with Pub Quiz.

[punqsux]

hexagon should not count as a high score...

[evilmax17]

I would take out Urban Slug, it's nearly unplayable (probably why there isn't a high score for it yet).

EDIT:
Yeah, the version of Breakout that we have looks like it was programmed in some highschool java class. Replace or delete it, it's awful.

[JSK414]

Urban Slug Blows!

[The Successful Dropout]

games with problems and games that should be taken off and why and requests

nanaca crash - we need somebody who can translate the directions

cat baseball - if you play twice in the row, the cat will walk to the plate backwards and force you to play lefty on the wrong side of the plate

slingo - doesn't have directions

hexagon - the score can only go so high

pirates of dance - the score can only go so high

luigis day - there is a secret room full of coins that you can keep revisting all day if you'd like

kaboom - mr anderson is the champion

breakout - can't we get a funner version of this? with upgrades and different shaped levels?

simon - all you need to have to beat this game is a nonexistant life, pen & paper

urbanslug - nearly unplayable, as said...though i love the deftones music...won't let me submit a high score...unless i didn't get far enough to do so

pub quiz - won't even start up

resident evil - sometimes the game will get glitchy and won't let you kill the zombies

It's like I'm still playing Samba!

[punqsux]

kaboom - mr anderson is the champion
:rofl:

[punqsux]

im actully confidant that the pirates of dance score IS beatable

while there is a top on the game, i dont believe judy has hit it. the high might stay 72, but that is only because the scoreboard rounds to whole numbers, i WILL beat her score.

[Scrubking]

Tthe games shouldn't automatically make you submit your score. It should ask you if you want to submit or restart.

[UncleBob]

Yeah, Resident Evil can be kinda glitchy at times... But don't take it away! I love it! ;)

Between the high scores cheapy listed and the problems that The Successful Dropout listed, I think that about covers it all.

[My Name Is BoB]

kaboom - mr anderson is the champion

I fixed that problem.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

I'm twice the snake champion. I don't particularly mind, but you might want to look into that. :lol:

[judyjudyjudy]

Haha, go ahead and try. I'm certainly not going to try and beat 72.

I'm a little disappointed I lost my Pub Quiz icon with my high score of zero. :(

[The Successful Dropout]

Tthe games shouldn't automatically make you submit your score. It should ask you if you want to submit or restart.

that's actually one of my biggest complaints...which i somehow forgot to add....i guess i just wasn't sure if it was something that cheapy could fix or if the programmer had to...or something

[sblymnlcrymnl]

hexagon should not count as a high score...

As long as I get to keep my champion icon. :lol:

[sblymnlcrymnl]

nanaca crash - we need somebody who can translate the directions

Not that it's very difficult, but there's this (http://homepage.mac.com/pockyrevolution/nanaca_faq.html). That's a start.

[CheapyMom]

Tthe games shouldn't automatically make you submit your score. It should ask you if you want to submit or restart. I agree. I'd like to be able to keep my most abysmal scores private!

[My Name Is BoB]

There's a problem with Qbert where you score goes up for eternity. I don't know how I did it, but it happened at the end of the 4th level. You can't submit it either, since it never stops going up.

[radjago]

I would take out Urban Slug, it's nearly unplayable (probably why there isn't a high score for it yet).

There's a newer version of Urban Slug at the developer's site (http://www.urbanprophet.com) that seems to fix most of the issues with the game. I'm not sure how you would go about updating it, but I thought I'd let you know it's out there.

And the game's still awfully hard.

[evilmax17]

The "CAGs Active in the Arcade" list is really long and stretches the screen (new problem for me).

[Mr. Anderson]

The "CAGs Active in the Arcade" list is really long and stretches the screen (new problem for me).

Ah, so that's why the screen was so huge. Yeah, fix this.

[Icen]

I think "Bubble Wrap Large" needs to be looked at...

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Bubble wrap is completely broken, and not in the sense that it doesn't work.

It gives you more points the longer it takes you to complete. So if you start the game and then say, start watching a movie and forget about it ... well you can see what happened. :lol:

[punqsux]

how did you get such a high score sub?
i got half a million by leaving my browser up while i slept...your score is totally illogical

[CheapyD]

I only left it up for about an hour and it had already ended on it own at 999999999999999. Like I said, broken. :lol:

[sblymnlcrymnl]

I changed it so lowest score wins...Is it working properly now?

Looks like it. 8-)

[punqsux]

well i DID get my icon back, the game still requires no skill though.

[punqsux]

or perhaps i didnt get my icon back, but i am first! ^^

sblymnlcrymnl,

I am coming for you on the Snake game I mean C'mon its got my username in it..


My question is how do I post comments? Do I have to be the high score holder (#1 spot) for it to ask or am I missing something?

[sblymnlcrymnl]

After you submit your score at the bottom of the list there will be a comments field.

[Snake2715]

/\ Thanks!!

[Icen]

I think Raiden X needs to be added to the list of "Not showing up on High Score Page / Champ Icon not working"

[evilmax17]

Bubble-popper champion not working






<-------------

[I AM WILLIAM H. MACY]

Mini-Putt champ should be me (it's supposed to be the lowest score is winner, cuz it's golf).

[clariste]

This is what I get when I submit a score for any game in the arcade...

Board Message
Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

The error returned was:

This score was not submitted from the game. Your score will not be saved.


Anyone tell me what the deal is? Thanks.

[kittie]

The winner is me.

Bow down, playa.

[souljah420]

I changed it so lowest score wins...Is it working properly now?
could you do this with the mini golf game also?

[Pookymeister]

Bubble-popper champion not working






<-------------

Yea, what he said. Bubble Popper isnt in the list of games if you click on someones name, and doesnt say i have a #1 ranking for it in my stats.

[FriskyTanuki]

could you do this with the mini golf game also?
Yes, it needs to be lowest or it's not golf.

[Lister]

also the mini golf game doesn't appear on the "my rankings" page

[My Name Is BoB]

Square 2 champ icon not working.

[Pookymeister]

quick question : how do you add your comments in after you get a score on the hi score board?

[KrazyKefka]

quick question : how do you add your comments in after you get a score on the hi score board?

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen. There will be a bar where you can add your comments, then hit the "Save" button.

[CheapyD]

I changed it so that the high score list won't show until after you submit your score...should be less confusing.

[Lister]

umm, now the high score list doesn't show at all.... all I get is my score after a game

[CheapyD]

As soon as you submit your score, the high score list comes up.
If you aren't asked to submit your score, it means you didn't beat your previous high score (I think).

[Lister]

I see how it works. Still dont' have high scores and little icons under names for certain games

[Kayden]

Raiden X isn't showing up on the score board or in my Championship thingy.

[Pookymeister]

mini golf and bubble wrap arent showing up either =[

[Roufuss]

Man... too many games in the arcade now.

IMO, I'd rather see quality over quantity.

And this might be a huge request, but is it possible to get the games in alphabetical order?

[Kevin Yockey]

I have an ancient P200 w/SVGA . Is there any hope for me in your forum? The games bring back old memories, but the play is way toooooo slow. I can change the key repeat to affect but that is alot of work just to play. Do you have solutions besides an upgrade to say a Gig machine? Maybe just alt. configs for an oldster like me? Especially if I decide to download any --> you can do that can't you?


kevyock@yahoo.com:roll:

[kittie]

A few games have a "low" quality option.

But, there's nothing else Cheapy can really do... I don't believe he created any of these games. :p

[sblymnlcrymnl]

And this might be a huge request, but is it possible to get the games in alphabetical order?

Do it yourself. Go into the arcade, look for "Your Settings" on the top of the page. One of the options should be "Default Game Sorting". Pick "Name" and "Ascending" or "Decending" from the list and click update. 8-)

[Roufuss]

Thanks a ton!

[CheapyD]

I think the missing icons have decided to join the party.:bouncy:

[Roufuss]

Breakfast Brawl, while fun, is flawed by a very simple pattern -

Throw two punches to the face or body (whichever one is open), then one punch to the alternate area and get a special Frusion uppercut.

Then, one punch to the open area (let's say body), then one to the face, another uppercut.

I went the whole game without getting hit once, and was just shy of 1st place on my second runthrough.

[kittie]

Incase you want to get rid of some dead weight:

Super Mario Revenge (The shooting one) - Tap down the space bar, aim down a bit, and you can go on for eternity.

[Kayden]

The reaction game reports all scores as "0" All of the scores are less than one. Can you let it display 3 decimal points?

[kittie]

It still puts them in order though, I think. I had .23, then when I got .18, I moved up a few spots.

[kittie]

Please add Text Twist. :)

[kittie]

Aww, I was hoping my 8 crowns would stretch the page horizontally. :p

[Roufuss]

Re: Apocalypse is full of glitches.

The two times I played, her gun would shoot but no bullets came out, and then the game started clipping the zombies in and out of the playing field.

[kittie]

Cheapy, where did my Bookworm crown go? :(

[CheapyD]

Cheapy, where did my Bookworm crown go? :(fear not, it has returned!

[kittie]

Thanks.

That was weird, though... it said there was a higher score, but there was no name.

[My Name Is BoB]

The bubble wrap game high score is impossible without cheating.

[Blade]

She definitely cheated.

Cheapy, you need to add captions containing the names of the games on each user's posts. It's hard to tell what people are champions of. ;)

[kittie]

How did you get 9.5 million without cheating? :p

[LiLangeLPrincess]

She definitely cheated.nEvRz! i thInk Bug. rsEt me scORe. Ill bEat u aGin!

[Blade]

How did you get 9.5 million without cheating? :p

It's a secret. :-P I'm not telling you because you'll beat me.

[Roufuss]

That Incredibles game sucks...

Not only do you lose points if you get hit by something or fall, but you can't collect ANY points for 5 seconds or so.

Kind of kills the fun.

[LiLangeLPrincess]

The bubble wrap bug is repeatable. Start game, pop bubbles, don't finish. Reload browser window. Game loads with no bubbles on screen. Click question mark. Click X. game screen pops back up with "Score of 0 NaN" with a submit button. When submitted accidentally the score gets registered as the lowest score. This happened when I was legitimately trying to get a score. Once the initial reload has been done, the bubbles never reapear. The reason for reloading is obvious; to start over for another try at high score. Please fix so I can reclaim the crown. Yes, legitimately._

[MorbidAngel4Life]

nEvRz! i thInk Bug. rsEt me scORe. Ill bEat u aGin!

This is gonna get real old, real fast.

[mkelehan]

Cheapy, you need to add captions containing the names of the games on each user's posts. It's hard to tell what people are champions of. ;)

Seconded.

[FriskyTanuki]

I hate getting high scores and then having it not save the damn thing. That's so annoying and is making me hate the arcade.

[Kayden]

I hate getting high scores and then having it not save the damn thing. That's so annoying and is making me hate the arcade.
I concur.

[mkelehan]

Annoying, sure, but it never made me hate the arcade. And one could argue that a score you can't repeat isn't worth anything at all.

[Roufuss]

I'm still wondering how someone got 56,000 in The Incredibles: Thin Ice... closest I got was 49,000... it seems like 56,000 is a perfect run, and I'd be shocked if someone managed to do that.

[FriskyTanuki]

Annoying, sure, but it never made me hate the arcade. And one could argue that a score you can't repeat isn't worth anything at all.
I could repeat it, but it would be a waste of time that I already spent on getting the high score. If I had it and someone beat it, I'd definitely the time to get it again.

[Blade]

On another forum, there was a CAGer that registered and spent 3500 game sessions getting 13 records. I got 15 records in 140 sessions, and they named me "King of the Arcade." It was also on the Arcade page that I was the Champion.

I think we should have rankings and awards like that. It would make it more competitive.

[mkelehan]

You know what I'd like? An option to mute the games. I know such a thing might be difficult to implement, but I'd really like to be able to play while Winamp does its thing.

[Roufuss]

I think it's time we filtered out the not so fun games (Super Mario Rampage) and added a few more.

[mkelehan]

Why the average rating for Super Mario Rampage is 3/5, I'll never know.

[Roufuss]

Here's another game that should be removed - that Donkey Kong Game and Watch... what a horrible game, I can barely see what's going on half the time.

[mkelehan]

I say keep DK, but lose 3 Card Poker. It's really broken.

[mkelehan]

"This score was not submitted from the game. Your score will not be saved."

I just got this error twice in a row, on different games. Anyone else getting it?

[sblymnlcrymnl]

I just slightly improved my 3D Tetris score, but when I hit submit it logged me off and now I've lost my championship. :cry:

EDIT:

Fuck me, it happened again. And this time it wasn't a small improvement. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

EDIT2: Nevermind, I fixed it myself. 8-)

[The Successful Dropout]

i don't think it's a coincedence (spellcheck/early) that that happened AND the game sucks :lol:

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Fuck you, it's a great fucking game. As long as I'm the only one who can play it. :lol:

[kittie]

I'll never get used to the controls in 3D Tetris. Plus, I don't know how you remove any blocks.

As for Flip Words, the key to getting big points is to try completely filling the answer... gets you 10,000 point bonus. Never try guessing the phrases until you have 0 turns left. And make lots of 5 & 6 letter words... using as least vowels as possible.

I haven't gotten the controls down either. If I do watch out 'cause then I'll be able to hold up through level 8. :lol:

You remove blocks by filling in a whole level. I haven't figured out yet if you get more points for doing multiple levels at a time ...

[kittie]

I had a full color on the board, but nothing happened.

Oh well, I suck at Tetris anyway. :p

I better get a 300 in the bowling game before the other kids figure out how to strike. :p

I got one strike, and followed it up with four or five 7 10s. After that I quit. :lol:

[kittie]

Ugh... 287. I'll get there tomorrow, hopefully. :)

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Damn, that really makes me want to stay up all night trying to get a 300 ... but I won't. The game isn't fun enough for that. :lol:

EDIT: Too late anyway. Congrats Kittie, welcome to the unbeatables club. :lol:

[JSweeney]

hexagon should not count as a high score...

Hmm. Probably not. I mean, there will obviously be more perfects before to long.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Hmm. Probably not. I mean, there will obviously be more perfects before to long.

I'm not so sure. It's been a while already, I think most people have lost any interest in it the might have had.

[sblymnlcrymnl]

Is there any way to get seperate score tracking for games with different modes or difficulty levels? I'm pretty sure the answer will be "no" or at the very best "not at this time", but I thought I'd throw it out there.

[radjago]

"This score was not submitted from the game. Your score will not be saved."

I just got this error twice in a row, on different games. Anyone else getting it?
I've been getting it too. Anyone know what's causing it?

[superhugebutt]

I've been getting it too. Anyone know what's causing it?

I get the error for every game I try (about 15 separate ones). I've gotten it for the past two weeks... Any way to kill it?!

[jjz203]

Does ANYONE have an actual solution to conundrum 3d? I don't even care if I'm not first, I just want to have a real easy solution, that game will drive me to madness, it seems almost random clicking will do it. Which is how I even got on the scoreboard!

[jjz203]

ARGH!!! I should have 4 first places now but the scoreboard screwed up!! :wall: I got 27,600 on color jumper but when I hit "submit", it came back with the board error, "your score will not be saved" error. CHEAPYD!! I WANT MY FIRST PLACE!!! #-o :cry: All that effort for nothing. :joystick:

[Tricky]

I played Heli Attack 3 and score would not save.

Yeah, that game it kinda neat but the score save is broken.

The Slider Puzzle game sometimes breaks when your sliding a piece. It wont let you slide that one over again and you cant click on any other ones. Has happened 3 times now. I was about to finish it :-(

[Blade]

Shenanigans on Add Like Mad.

There are 100 numbers in the game, which give 5 points each. The game adds 5 points for each number you use, then multiplies that by how many numbers you use (i.e. 1 + 1 = 10 points x 2 numbers).

If you use all of the numbers in one combo (which is impossible btw), that's 500 points x 100 numbers, or 50,000 points.

Cdeener's score of 65,000 points is impossible.

Blade there is a glitch in the game that basically everybody who is on the scoreboard was able to use it. So, to make it clear this game needs to be fixed because the glitch is easy to use if you pay attention.

Here it is so there is no confusion on how I scored so many points:

When playing Add Like Mad all you need to do is when your game ends instead of hitting Submit Score (even if this is your high score) on the screen just select to Play Again? and the game actually increases your beginning score everytime you click Play Again? to play the game (You have to click it on the actual game menu not the link provided by CheapyD). After you submit your score it goes back to the original setup.

I actually played over and over again during Boston Legal and didn't actually pay attention until I was a half hour in.

[Blade]

Oh, I didn't know about that, good call. ;)

I agree that it needs to be fix/removed.

[extzed]

I was trying out q-bert since I haven't been here in ages and it seems to move in super speed for me? I was just wondering if this is just my computer or if anyone else is having this problem

[Blade]

Does anyone know what this even means? "4x Cel No Bar Cyberstorm TubaPro is my lover!" That's the comment for the high score on Nanaca Crash. Sort of sounds like he hacked the flash.

[Blade]

And why does that non-posting dude need the highs core on Add Like Mad? It's a conspiracy to remove me from the podium! :-P

[me2evil13]

has Add Like Mad been fixed?

[Blade]

In Kaboom, mkelehan has three identical scores listed. He's something like 7th, 8th, and 9th. :hot:

[Old Rasputin]

can't wait to start playing these games!

[Blade]

Arcade gets "This page cannot be displayed" when I set a high score.

[Sooner]

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but :

1 S_A_T_A_N 9,842 I'm the pirate of dance 01-08-07 19:38 02:34

Anyone know how that's possible considering 2nd place on Pirates of Dance is a score of 72(along with the rest of the front page)?

[GuilewasNK]

Probably some bug or secret.

[Collectordragon]

S_A_T_A_N also has an astronomical score in Yeti Pengu Throw. He has obviously found a way to cheat in those two games but would you expect S_A_T_A_N to play fairly? ;)

[Collectordragon]

I'm getting tired of that error page when I try to submit my score. It's happened to me for a number of the games. Most recently Babycal Throw. It's extremely annoying because my score would have placed me at number 6 for that game.

[Sooner]

I've got another complaint, this time it's about Defend your castle.... :(
