Empire Earth II - Leaderboard has been repaired!

Post by Dr.MonaLisa »

Big thanks for:
- Dr.MonaLisa - for interest in this problem, reporting case to GameSpy, and helping them a little.
- [GSI]tagmosis - person who helped the most - removed data of "bugged" accounts
- Deus - for trying to help (Deus tried to log in on some of accounts from leaderboard, and then he ruined 1000 rating points on them)
- LordSilverBow - for helping me with testing

Proof that Leaderboard is working:

Leaderboard be monthly updated on ~eW`~>FORUM, in this topic: http://forum.ee2.eu/t1234-empire-earth-ii-leaderboard-monthly-updated

Data of Master.Gran.Batuzay (1st from Toruney leaderboard) has been removed, due of his cheating and glitch against all players: http://ee2glitchers.ace.st/f4-1-gran-battuzay

I hope everyone enjoy it Image
Please do not rival about place on leaderboard. We are should keep playing unrated games, like we did it before. Just to have fun.

Best regards
President ~eW`~>Clan in years 2011-2012

History how "EE2 leaderboard problem has been fixed"
Everything started in this topic, on our forum: http://forum.ee2.eu/t1191-tourney-rating-on-ee2-gonna-crash-like-skirmish-rating
I got many important informations from EE2 players, and it helped me to report this case on http://developer.poweredbygamespy.com

I started topic on GameSpy forum: http://developer.poweredbygamespy.com/forum/empire-earth-ii-rating-problem
Mona wrote:I really didn't know where I should post it, so sorry if it's in wrong forum.

So I'm fan of Empire Earth II game. I'm playing almost 3 years. I heard that leaderboard worked good in 2006. But now it has probably bug:

https://forum.ee2.eu/oldpics/pb1-EE2_ScreenShot678-1.jpg

It's probably going to happend with Tourny rating:

https://forum.ee2.eu/oldpics/pb1-EE2_ScreenShot679-1.jpg



Why players with 1000 rating and 1 game player are on the list? I know many people with accounts over 7000 points. They're not on the list, but they should be.

Is any chance to fix this problem?
[GSI]tagmosis wrote:So, we have confirmed how this game is processing the leaderboard, and it appears that this game is using our Legacy Stats and Tracking servers. Furthermore, we have confirmed that this game title is getting processed by our backend, so from the server standpoint stats processing should be working properly.

Each game on the legacy stats and tracking system uses a script that is customized by the developer. So, unfortunately, there is no easy way to debug this issue without the people who implemented the code for leaderboard processing.
Mona wrote:Thank you for answer.

I'm just wondering if it's possible to "reset" rating points from all these "bugged" accounts from the list? I can create list with all accounts which are probably cause of the error. I would be really happy if Game Spy just reset or remove these accounts from eearth2 server. If you can do it, you can save this beautifull game, because most of players exit with EE2, due of leaderboard problem Image

By the way: Is any way to check leaderboard from this game otherwise, by website or any program?
[GSI]tagmosis wrote:We would like to help out the EE2 community as well, but we have no idea what removing of the data would do to the game client. It could be possible that removing all the data could in fact cause the game client to no longer work. The best way to go about this would be to have a community manager contact the publisher/developer and have them confirm whether resetting the data would solve this issue.
Mona wrote:Problem is, that Sierra (EE2 publisher) doesn't longer exists.

We have topic about this problem on ~eW`~>FORUM: http://forum.ee2.eu/t1191-tourney-rating-on-ee2-gonna-crash-like-skirmish-rating

One member wrote: "I went to Sierra themselves (when it existed) and they said they couldn't do anything, then pointed to gamespy to fix it. I asked gamespy, and they said Sierra could fix it"

-------

"we have no idea what removing of the data would do to the game client." - is it possible to create security copy of all data? Then we would just check if it work or not, and if problems arise then you could recovery data.

Is it possible to delete selected data from server? I think if you could remove only 100-200 indicated players from data base - leaderboard would work like before (2006-2007).

I'm playing since 2009, but I heard from other players, that most of these "bugged" accounts were created by one person (called BigB or something like this). He found trick how to win 0 point for 1 skirmish game, and he just just did it to a lot of accounts... That's why I just want to delete/change points in these "bugged" accounts from leaderboard, then players which deserve to be on the list won't lose theirs previous stats.



Thank you for your interest in this case, and please for answer on new questions.

best regards
[GSI]tagmosis wrote:Again, the web scripts which handle the leaderboards were all created by the developers of the game, not by GameSpy. So if there is a problem with those scripts, we are limited in our options in order to fix this.

Looking at your response though, it sounds like you want to remove "bugged" accounts from the leaderboard. Rather than deleting everything at once, we can try removing data associated to a "bugged" account that is on the leaderboard, then confirm whether that account is properly removed from the leaderboard.

Please give me a list of 5 accounts that you would like to test with
Mona wrote:Current leaderboard:

https://forum.ee2.eu/oldpics/pb2-EE2_ScreenShot817.jpg

Please test with 5 first accounts:

brewsky89

ceibaum07

ace708

BOBLEEHEAD

Snakejf



Please note that on there is more than 100 "bugged" accounts, so to see leaderboard correct it's needed to remove/reset more than 150 accounts Image I hope it's not problem. I can create list of all these accounts.

Please tell me when you finish with these first accounts, and I'll check if they're still on leaderboard
[GSI]tagmosis wrote:I have deleted all data that I could find that was related to the first 5 accounts. I checked the leaderboard just now, and their names still seem to be there.

Most likely it will take some time before the web script kicks in and updates the leaderboard. Please let me know if the names are eventually removed.
Mona wrote:No, it's working Image

I've seen you on EE2. Actually all leaderboard changed: http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae327/Przmus/Album%202/EE2_ScreenShot...

So it's working, but as I said there is more than 100 "bugged" accounts, that's why it's needed to remove much more.

If I can somehow help, then please let me know. If it's not problem then I can post next accounts (100), which should be removed. But I understand it might be very much work...
Mona wrote: Sorry for spam (couldn't edit message).

Could you try to remove these accounts?: https://forum.ee2.eu/oldpics/pb2-EE2_ScreenShot825.jpg

Tourney list isn't that bugged as Skirmish list. If you delete these accounts it should show 27 accounts correct. If it be working, then it's signal that this is good way.
[GSI]tagmosis wrote:Data was removed for the above players as well.

Please let me know if this had any effect on the leaderboard.

If it did, Please give me a list of all users that need to be removed.

I made list with all users to remove, I hope I rewritten everything correct:

Skirmish leaderboard is still bugged:

But it might be fixed in some minutes...

Btw. could you edit points on my account: ~eW`~>AnaLucia to more than 10000? I Just wanna check if account with more than 9999 points be on leaderboard, above bugged accounts.

It would be great if you could notify the Empire Earth II community that things are up and running again.

We have topic "Empire Earth II leaderboard has been repaired!" - here: http://forum.ee2.eu/t1233-empire-earth-ii-leaderboard-has-been-repaired
I informed old clans forums about it, let's hope old players back to this game.

btw. could you show me scripts of leaderboard from Empire Earth II and Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy? This problem probably did not appear on Art of Supermacy (it's expansion pack, but has worse gameplay, that's why none is playing on it). I would compare these scripts to see what was the possible cause of the problem. Maybe we can modify a little script, to show more than 100 accounts on leaderboard? If it's possible, then I would be really glad.

Gran Batuzay cheated points... And what happened with his account? Image
So don't worry, just report all cheat pointers, and we be resettings theirs data.

I think it's good that Leaderboard has been repaired... Even if players will care about points it be more rivalisation, so game be more active.
