Help needed in HTTP 500 error for productive game

[Alex_tgiu]

Hello,
I got several similar bug reports, that my game "Bao la Kiswahili" on BGA gives HTTP 500 errors for people trying to access their running round-based games. I could confirm, that I am not able at the moment to start a new game.
This is very strange for me, as my game version runs for 2.5 years now without problems and thousands of games being played and all of the sudden it does not work without having touched anything or even releasing anything new.
In production log I see this recent error regarding the server error:

When I start a local game in BGA Studio, it also won't start the game and displays this error when the 2nd player joins:

Code: Select all

Has anything changed on BGA which I should have updated or got anything broken in the deployed game?
Has anyone any idea what happens here?
Regards,

We saw that issue in another game, and the explanation was that the game removed the

Code: Select all

parent::__construct()

call as the first call of the constructor. Is it the case in your game? If yes, adding it back will solve the issue.

Thanks thoun for the explanation.
Are you referring to the main PHP class (in my case baolakiswahili.game.php) and its __construct function?

The thing is that I haven't touched this game and its deployment for over 2.5 years, so no code change was done.
Has something changed in the framework which requires this now and was not so when I deployed it in 2022?
Or could something be corrupted in the deployment or file system which could be solved by redeployment?

[thoun]

Yes the framework has new things on the constructor. And it reveals the games with no call to parent contructor on the main class. Just add it and it's fixed Also auto-inclusion of material file was probably broken because of this missing call.

[thoun]

I made the fix, and probably also fixed options in the same time.

Thanks a lot!
