Some games in Alpha I can't access their lobby ?

Post by Rusty Cohle »

Hello!

I get this error when trying to join games like id = 1629 and 1542

Code: Select all

Callback error: Error: Tried to register widget with id==findplayer but that id is already registered
Any idea ?

Can you give more details? You have not started a review for these alpha games, so you should not be able to see tables to join.
If someone sent you a link for a game to join, it's normal to experience an error if you haven't started a review or been invited to that game.

I joined the Alpha team recently, so why can I join some games (I never did any review so far ?) and some not ?

Thanks in advance Een.. (i tried different browser and deleting cache)

I get this error too (when I first try to join a game) :

Code: Select all

Callback error: TypeError: e is null

OK, found the "review" button.. Strange as I didn't have to do that for "Citadels" for example.
Thanks Een

If you are invited to a game by another reviewer you don't need to explicitly start a review yourself.
(and as a reviewer, you can also invite other players to an alpha game you start)

But what I'm curious about is where did you find the tables to join if you hadn't first started a review? Normally you shouldn't see anything about the games you haven't started a review about. So maybe we have something to fix there: can you let me know where you have been able to see tables that you couldn't join?

1) Click on "Games" at top of screen.
2) Look for the row with the Alpha games.
3) Click on a game in alpha for which you are not yet a reviewer
4) click on play and you get the error message.

Weirdly, if you hit F5 after point 3, you are brought to a different page.

Thanks for clarifying, indeed something weird to fix there.
