Hi all:

Thanks for any help , advice and/or suggestion.

Another Newbie question,
my realtime multiplayer 1-5 player game works great in studio- The response time is fast and there are no errors.
https://studio.boardgamearena.com/gamep ... fthetemple

but in production - the response time is so slow,the browser ( chrome, Edge and firefox) always times out or hangs
and it seems getPlayerNameById($player_id) no longer works as it creates an notify varible substitution error message in history logs

https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga ... fthetemple

single player games and two player games have the same slow response time and hanging. I am assuming all reviewers are having the same problem as this is what they are saying in the bug reports. https://boardgamearena.com/bugs?game=1511

Could it be I implemented the states incorrectly?
I have the states as follows,
1st -> gamesetup
2nd -> loadMusic (where setAllPlayersMultiactive()
3rd - playerTurn - which loops back to playerTurn ( that is after each playerTurn , the next state is playerTurn )

Code: Select all

    function st_MultiPlayerInit() {
        $this->gamestate->setAllPlayersMultiactive();
    }

Here are the states in question

Code: Select all

    1 => array(
        "name" => "gameSetup",
        "description" => "",
        "type" => "manager",
        "action" => "stGameSetup",
        "transitions" => array( "loadMusic" => 2 )
    ),

	2 => array(
    		"name" => "loadMusic",
    		"description" => "",
    		"type" => "game",
            "action" => "st_MultiPlayerInit",
    		"transitions" => array( "playerTurn" => 6 )
    ),

    6 => array(
    		"name" => "playerTurn",
    		"description" => clienttranslate(''),
    		"descriptionmyturn" => clienttranslate('${you} may choose an action or surrender to fate'),
    		"type" => "multipleactiveplayer",

    		"possibleactions" => array( "startGame", "confirmAction","reRollDice","discoverChamber",
				"activateGem", "removeBlackMask", "moveChamber", "turnFate", "escape", "giveDie", 
				"removeCurse", "loadMusic", "collectTreasure", "useTreasure", "gameEnd"),
    		"transitions" => array(  "loadMusic" => 2, "playerTurn" => 6,  "turnFate" => 11, "players_win" => 12, "gameEnd" => 99 ) 

    ),
	

    11 => array(
        "name" => "turnFate",
    	"description" => clienttranslate('Your mates are still deciding '),
    	"descriptionmyturn" => clienttranslate('${you} must accept or decline turn of fate action'),
    	"type" => "multipleactiveplayer",
        "action" => "st_gameMultiactive",
    	"possibleactions" => array( "confirmResponse","loadMusic", "pass" ),		
        "transitions" => array( "loadMusic" => 2 )
    ),
