It seems like when i am in GEwar or the forum, sometimes i would need to login again midway through the game.

That had happened to me too, about four times now.

Oz.

Probably a problem with the cache or something(servers). Was happening to a few peeps I think? Luke?

Has been happening for days. All of a sudden going to a new screen or refreshing an existing screen it will act like you are logged out. If you try to log in, it won't let you. Keep refreshing every 10 seconds or so and eventually it comes back.

Got to love intermittant problems! Let me know if there is anything else that you need from me. I'd be glad to help!

Just to confirm the above. Refresh or click on another link (no need to enter user and pass again).

True.
Or just refresh the forum a couple of times.
No need to login again.

There's a lot of things you guys could be doing to spread the loads out...

For example, you could calculate interest hourly, compounded every 5 minutes.

You could calculate resources spread out rather than in large batches.

You could make jewel hunting worth more and add a time delay interval between jewels hunted (ie. 5 every 2 minutes or something like it).

You could add anti-auto-jewel hunting code... (not sure how the current scripts do it, but im sure its not hard to safeguard your server from such attacks).

You could cache a lot of information that doesnt need to be dynamic, such as army positioning, home bases, and cities into hard coded files every few minutes, instead of it causing mass query cascading...

I'm not entirely sure exactly how your game is coded, but im quite sure its more dynamic than it really needs to be for the nature of the game.. that takes a lot of cpu cycles, ram, and queries. It also encourages people to hammer the server.


I hope you take this as positive feedback and constructive criticism.
I have made a lot of assumptions here, and some of them may be incorrect, but thats the assumptions i make from looking at how the pages load etc and from poking around a bit.

While i could help, I unfortunately dont have the time to. But there is a hell of a lot you can do to optimise this game, and yes, it does take time. If you need advice etc, im happy to give it to you guys without a problem..

Now sometimes when it is happening, it seems to get worse. Instead of asking us to log in over and over, it throws out the following error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/sessions.php on line 271

Oh yeah, and you can't get into the forums when it is happening...(not sure if anyone mentioned that).

i got this message once:

Its happened to me alot today, I would just have to come back in 10 minutes and it would be fine.
