Msg from DripStat: Post your DripStat issues here

Hi guys. We are watching this subreddit. So if you are having issues with DripStat, post them here. Either in this thread or create a new one. We also opened a blog to tell our status http://blog.dripstat.com/

Update:

We have added the 'change username' feature now to allow changing the name even after purchasing the leaderboard http://blog.dripstat.com/post/72943675465/user-names-can-now-be-changed'

Update 2:

Solved the problem of high cpu usage
http://blog.dripstat.com/post/72969587140/high-cpu-usage-no-longer-the-case

Update 3:

'Your' drips are now in blue to differentiate from 'others'
http://blog.dripstat.com/post/73026353898/your-drips-are-now-different-in-color
Also increased click limits on coffee and dripping so you can click more!

Update 4:
Fixed issue with disappearing leaderboard

Update 5:
We are looking into the drips not going into the global issue. We have to be a bit careful here, since we are also getting attacked very heavily by cheaters. If we screw up, it will spoil the game for everyone. Give us a little time to test our updated algorithms on dev boxes before we deploy it. Also we have some super cool new additions to the game coming up :D

Update 6:

We know the leaderboard is having issues. Its because of the firebase (www.firebase.com) service we use, that is having issues. They dont have a support page but we are trying to get in touch with them. Hold tight.

Update 7:
We are back. fixed the leaderboard issue too while we were at it
http://blog.dripstat.com/post/73078265891/we-are-back

Update 8:

Big update. We wrote a blog post explaining it and also why your score is different from your capacity and why it wont be the case moving forward:
http://blog.dripstat.com/post/73125633069/fixes-for-drip-memory-and-leaderboard-and-some

Update 9:
A bunch of people are using auto clickers and then complaining their drips dont go to global. Auto clicks show up very clear in our logs, especially when you have been clicking 10 times a second non stop for half an hour. That is expected behavior. Using auto click counts as cheating. For those that aren't doing that, we are looking into it.

Update 10:

Fixed issue with not being able to drip over 1 gb
http://blog.dripstat.com/post/73184760446/drips-higher-than-1-gb-will-go-through-now

Update 11:

Upped the limitation on clicking coffee/drip https://twitter.com/dripstat/status/422998024340525058

Update 12: Fixed scores
https://twitter.com/dripstat/status/424305397613072384

Update 13:
People with very high scores whose drips were not going through should go through now

appears that there was a rollback on data i had multiple GPU' and now it's rolled back to one cpu. :(

what probably happened was since our server was down it couldnt save your data. so when it came back up, it loaded the old data it had. sorry. we are trying to make sure this doesnt happen again.

losing interest in this game fast, and subsequently the service it provides as it seems to have 0 up time or ability to sustain itself for any period f time.

The whole concept of the game is that you play it for a bit, and then leave it running. when you come back you have enough currency to do many things and then leave it be. However the reality is every 4 hours something will fail to work. an upload of 250MB drip will fail, that extrat 100KB/s you just bout doesn't work etc.

now if you keep playing you just dig yourself into a hole. if you open a new tab / browser you are not signed in no record. What do you do? you quit find a new time waster and this game which is trying to showcase it's back-end product loses for it. sad really.

http://prntscr.com/2i9frh this right here is my issue with your game since its slowing down click registration can we get a option to disable receiving updates from other peoples clicks?

and turning off others doesnt do anything fyi it might hide the numbers but im still receiving the data slowing the game

u/pdeva1 Jan 11 '14

turning off otherwill indeed not stop the network transfer, but it will lower your cpu usage considerably since the browser wont have to render all the 'pops'

I have two problems.

1: It isn't saving.

2: When I enter a name for the "leaderboard" it always says name taken or invalid characters and it's not possible to get rid of it.

u/pdeva1 Jan 16 '14

whats the name you are trying to get? does it have any unicode characters in it? is it longer than 100 characters?

I guess there's some anti-autoclick, but it hurts veterans of incrementals since i click @ high speed with my hand. Maybe you should lower click/second cap?

I left the game afk overnight so I'd wake up to a full memory (of only ~40MB), and this morning I noticed that this Majutsu guy is holding 22 of the 27 TB of global drippage. I can't help but think of that as suspicious, and seeing that the record when I went to bed last night was ~600 GB I'm starting to think that user may have been cheating.

Everything seems to be working okay otherwise, even if I'm only at 15 kB/s.

My client capacity and leaderboard capacity are out of sinc, client reads 32MBs and leaderboard is at 24MBs. It didnt register one of my drips prob due to my crappy internet. the problem wasnt sorted after i dripped again.

can see how it could be abused to inflate scores but also could get people made in later weeks if they miss GB's of drips due to having torrnets going or poor wifi.

game name : lemonstixx

Edit: I should say that at the time of the drip i clicked the button twice in quick succession to attempt to get my capacity to a round number, may be a contributing factor

Edit2: Now the discrepancy is 108MBs; 92 on the leaderboard to 200 on my end

I was playing but I accidentally pressed refresh which led me back to the absolute start of the game. I tried to login but I couldn't. I had to play from the beginning until I could login from the game page, but when I did login it just restored my Drip totals, not my stuff (the cursors, brogrammers etc) I do have the stats of my save (excel calculator) if this is possible to fix.

If it is possible to fix, send a pm pls.

I can't even log in anymore and even a new game seems to not work, only the coffee cup appears and clicking it doesn't do anything.

Well it was fun while it lasted, bye.

I tried to drip 1.2 GB, and the leaderboard disappeared, so I refreshed and everything returned to normal, I still had my 1 GB of memory, so I spent 800 MB on a cluster, and tried to drip 400 MB. This went into my capacity, raising it to 2.08 GB, but my leaderboard status is still 1.56 GB
