Browser refresh loops triggered by countdown Javascript events

[chaosprime]

More and more often, when a countdown event in the overview finishes (a fleet arrives somewhere), the process that is triggered at that point (which is supposed to update the display to reflect the new state) fails to work, and instead it triggers a browser refresh loop (the browser requests a page that tells it to re-request it, over and over again) until the server breaks the loop by issuing a 403 Forbidden error or saying "Too many requests from (IP)". If I'm at the window, I can only stop the refresh loop by closing the window and logging back into Bulfleet; measures like hitting Stop and reloading the page do not stop it.

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.9.

I have found that if you back up a page and then click the overview button again it will keep you from having to log back on. happens to me a lot:)

This is an actual bug reported several times, in fact I lost millions of resources and around 60 Guardians to this bug when a guy kept spy probing me to death, keeping me off the server..

But don't ask Kaos for any help if you are in Universe 1 , or Jade. They are as helpful and useful as breast on an elbow.

My advice, play a real game with real admins who care about their jobs..

My post will be little off topic, but please excuse me.

Let me start with the bug. Yeah, we all know (users/admins/developers) about this browser's behaviour but unfortunately nothing is done or it is impossible to be done at this stage. I don't really know I'm not a programmer.

I would like to say some words on Nesno's post. Before all this is against the rules. There is a point in the game's rules, which says flooding with spy probes is forbidden and punishable. There was at least 1 such case and the admins punished the flooders, returning everything which has been lost to the victim. So my point is that you needed actually to ask the same.

Also you don't need to be on the Overview window to save resources or ships or whatever and you can get out of such situations. You may take this as a temporary solution. Check the remaining time before the attack, then go to fleets load ships and start your computer's clock. Press the Send button when the time of the enemy attacks approaches.

Finally many of you may be surprised but the game admins (Kaos, Jade, Freeico and Milanoff) are not Bulfleet employers but are volunteers who do what they do apart from their real jobs, families and life.

Cheers and have fun !

Not sure if you know this or not but I did submit a ticket to Kaos with the battle report, he said he was going to look into then get back with me which he never did. He then would not reply to any emails or requests, so your above statement is incorrect. I was a victim your clearly outlined violation of the game by another users, I reached out for support, was told I was going to be given support, then ignored.

Don't get me twister though, I know my tact and tone is way off, but only because that is where Kaos has put me at due to his lack managing his responsibilty as an admin, paid for or not.

Did anyone tell you that you are a idiot ? Jade is admin of UNIVERSE 2! In UNIVERSE 1 is only PLAYER who will kick your fat ass anytime ... anyplace ...

Nano I'm sorry then, I can't do anything more than what you ever did.

I just lost a lot of units and resources due to this bug.

If it cant be fixed... why on earth hasnt the page refreshing 'feature' just been removed from the javascript?

Something needs to be done... especially when people, many whom pay for additonal access to the game, cant even access the game to play...
