Board Game Arena

Hi,

Whenever I have a good test game (realtime) running in Studio (far into the game with some nice load/save slots), and I come back to it a few hours later I'm met with this error:
Unable to find table database (1): {databaseName}
I understand games are garbage collected on studio, can this period be set a bit longer?

Also I tried turning such games into turn-based games (because those aren't garbage collected) but when I get the question "Would you like to transform this table in a Turn-based table ?" Yes/No my JumpMaybe1 player (second player) cannot accept this question (the Yes button does not work).

I guess the above can be avoided by starting a turn-based game to begin with, but I thought I would let you know my experience

Cheers, Koen

Yes, the same rules that in production apply, games are garbage collected after a few hours of inactivity (for realtime games) and after a few hours (for turn based games). So if you want your test games to persist, it's recommended to start them in turn based mode.

I have a game in studio started about 45 days ago, and it hasn't been garbage collected. I think I tried to load a bug report state in this one. When I try to open it, it says: . Is there any way to terminate games that won't open?
I also have another one not quite as old (11 days), but with a similar error:

You should be able to close them from the game page (https://studio.boardgamearena.com/table?table=XXXX) with express stop.

That worked, thanks!
