Default Re: Possible bug: online games and disconnections

PhilD, can you tell me what you saw on your side after EternalOptimist disconnected?

The way it should work is if a player disconnects (without conceding first), the other player is shown a message that the other player was disconnected. (This is because the server doesn't know if it was intentional or not.)

After a 2-minute countdown, the remaining player should automatically be considered the winner, as if the disconnected player had conceded.

(We assume it is the responsibility of each player to have a stable internet connection and remain connected -- that's why we treat disconnected players like conceding players.)

After those 2 minutes, you should have been taking to the game over screen, which should have said that you won, and at which time you should have been given credit for winning.

Can you let me know what exactly you saw on your end? If I can tell what's different, I'll know what to look at to find the problem.

Thanks!
