If this has been answered, sorry, I haven't been keeping up with all of the feedback posts.
If you are in a tournament and you get a higher score than you ever got just playing solo, it doesn't overwrite your previous high score. I don't care too much but I just played the BEST GAME of my life in a tourney (WOOHOO).
Is that the way it's supposed to be?

Not only that, I just got a PM that I need to play my game! I can't since I haven't advanced and it does not give me the option! This is frustrating!

Unfortunately it doesn't keep the score in the regular game. I have a personal best in Bubbleshooter a couple of weeks ago and it didn't show in the high scores...

Sigh

really? 'cause bnwalker2 somehow got 180,000+ playing the crime puzzle tournament [still can't figure out HOW!] & i noticed it shows her as the 'best score of all time'...
however, she's not listed as the 'actual high score champion'.

Maybe it is because it is the best of all time, but since she isn't listed as the actual high score. My personal best was not even near the highest score in bubbleshooter.

The current bubble shooter tournament shows me having to play against myself in the 2nd round. How did THAT happen?!? Will that go away when there is a winner from the 1st round that I had nothing to do with?

I agree with what others have said about taking away the few games that don't keep score or work.
In their place add more fun games until you don't have room for any more!

I ust finished playing all the games to completion last week. I took forever but was a lot of fun.

Does it show as YOUR personal best score as the tournament score? I'd think it might log it as your personal best but not list it in the high scores.

I'm going to check on the tourneys that are in motion right now, but for the future, if ya'll have an issue with a particular tourney it helps you can post a link! Thanks


And 2dogmom, sometimes you will get put into a slot that is waiting for the match-up to be won, if that makes sense. It usually will right itself when that match-up is over

Thanks katiemae, it seems to be alright now!
Ack, dunno how it happened but my score just got totally LOST from the 1st game of a tourney!
http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/arc...ourney&tid=195
It was this one and my score wasn't all that great, it was about 130,000, but it got recorded as 0. I was having trouble getting back to TCS at all, almost like it was down.
Anyhoo, I'll play again, I'm sure I can beat that score but it seems weird!

is that going to change when there is a winner from ROund 1?

We'll find out. I'm about to play my last game in that first round.

ETA: Yup, it's all fixed now.

Nuh uh...might give me away!
Please remove my high score for Tontie V2. I was a goober and had that game open in another tab (totally forgot to close it) and it recorded for the wrong game.

done! You'll still show up as the best score of all time, but not the actual high score

I think a lot of the problems may be down to having multiple arcade windows open at the same time. Our Danny is about to go over the arcade and see if he can streamline some issues.

Ok, deleted the games that weren't recording scores and added a bunch of new games. They're listed under the new games column there, on the top left corner of the main arcade page. Happy testing and keep reporting buggy games so we can weed those out - thank you!
