View Full Version : [Online Bug] I inherited the first player's stats after a game

Hello everyone,
I had a problem yesterday while playing with the first ranked player, "#1 piki1802™". My nickname is "vercingetorix557". We played a ranked statue defend.
The game was normal at the beginning, I was about to lose when suddenly, the game stopped and told me I won the match (on my side). On my opponent's side, the game suddenly went back to the main menu. He neither quitted the game nor had any error messages: he just very stangely disconnected from the game. All these informations about his side come from him (I really thank him for that).
The whole game has been recorded: the problem happens at 11:36. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7dpYOyzYL0)
Now I'm the second ranked player because I apparently inherited the first player's stats (right after the game, I was first and had 1 more point than him, according to him). I don't want to stay with those fake stats I didn't deserve so could you please correct my score? This is not a problem for me if you back-up my score, I'd prefer restarting from scratch instead of having undeserved stats.
Please don't consider me as a cheater and don't ban me for cheating: if I really cheated, I'd not complain. I'm just a normal player that had the unluck to be 2nd because of a bug when playing a ranked match against the 1st player.

Maybe it was just a regular disconnection.
It would be also good to test sudden death in that game type. For example, in last version (Worms 4 Mayhem) sudden death didn't work at all. When time is up, it's always drow even you set water rising or 1 health. Also, flood was impossible to set in. I'm not started to play Worms Ultimate Mayhem yet, but I would like to know are those bugs still there.

In Worms 4: Mayhem, sudden death was working very well for me, and it also works on WUM.
Well, let's come back to the fake stats problem. It could indeed be a regular disconnection, but why do I get the best player's stats instead of keeping mine?
Edit: just understood that you were talking about sudden death... in Statue Defend. Then, I'll try it.
After testing... the limitation is still present in WUM.

It would good if they could also make possibility to set unlimited time without sudden death. And fixing sudden death is very important too.
What about flood? That's still impossible to set?
And sorry, I really can't say what that disconnection was, except that it was a bug.

Hi LTKiller,
You were classed as the winner and awarded the 14 points because #1 piki1802™ already had a score of 123. The points awarded in ranked games are based on how big your opponent's points total is. Because of the connection error and #1 piki1802™ leaving the game, they were classed as the loser and had points deducted.
This system is in place in ranked matches to prevent people quitting out of the game when they are not winning.
If you experience any other issues with the game then you can contact our support team by emailing support@team17.com

Thank you very much for your answer, but the problem is not that I won 14 points from his disconnection, but that I inherited #1 piki1802™'s total score (close to 3,000) + 1 after this game. But I think I will email your support team. Thanks again for your answer!

- For unlimited time without sudden death, put the timer at 0:00, I tried it on WUM and there's neither sudden death nor immediate draw because round time eslaped. Maybe this works on W4 too?
- Well, I don't think automatic draw when round time gets to 0:00 is a bug, but rather a limitation they intended to put. Because remember that you have to destroy statues here, so shall the winner be the one that has the highest placed statue (I do know we can move them with rope)? Worms respawn here, so that's not a big problem if they die due to flooding.
But maybe we should discuss this on a new thread, because we're currently off-topic, and I don't think mods appreciate it.

In Worms 4 the game would simply end immediately after starting it. If it works in WUM that's cool, however!
