I recently played through the 2 latest Challenge Track Packs with the Donkey and found that none of them added any points to my Global Score BUT it seems that all the other tracks are still working and adding points just fine because I improved my PB Time on 4 non-challenge pack tracks to test it.....Very Strange and Really Annoying !?!?
I hope this gets fixed A.S.A.P because I've already lost out on more than a months worth of points from the last time the Leader Boards weren't working as the points did NOT get added to my Global Score when they finally fixed them.....When RedLynx said that they would be added and they're not lost.....Where's my points then !?!?
Has anyone else noticed this ??
Was it the first time you set a time on those 2 tracks? Did you by any chance get bronze medal with several mistakes?
Went and improved my time on merchandise stash my about 3.7 seconds ( already had plat ) the leaderboards didn't pop up but my score was there so I think my net cut out for a moment
I then went and got plat on meloncholy temple and improved by 8 sec from my previous score and my points wer updated
I am on iOS so maybe just an android problem
@FatalDragon69: Do you remember the specific tracks that you did with the Donkey just recently? Because there is a reason why you haven't got any points...
My Donkey LB was stuck during last week, i contacted the Support and i'm still waiting for their reply.Originally Posted by HeaverBeaver115 Go to original post
Btw i think i understood what caused my donkey Lb issue and i was able to fix it, maybe it could help someone, follow me:
My time on Grease Transit was sth like 28sec. with 1 fault, then, trying to improve it, i ran again and i set a new record, NO FAULT but worse time , 2 seconds slower. This broke my donkey LB.
AT first time i didn't realize that i was the only one having trouble with LB, i thought it was something involving everybody and soon or later we all would have seen the points credited.
In the while i continued improving my records on at least 10 tracks , the LB did pop up, but the total score was stuck, so i was seeing my position in those tracks going better, but no points at all in the LB
then i realized that everything started with the new record on Grease transit : 30sec. and 0 fault , +2 sec and -1 fault than my previous record.
So i went improving my time on grease transict, iwent under the 28sec. (25,xx) and int his way i started earning again points in the donkey LB, for sure i lost a lot of points.
@HeaverBeaver115
Please can you share your reason?
@ IT-maciello: I think you have a different problem altogether, but that's still strange though.
I specifically need to know from FatalDragon and what tracks he has done specifically, judging from what he has said, he has done challenge pack tracks, so judging from what has happened, it's either that he has bronze medal times on a few difficult tracks and his times are not good enough to earn points like having a few faulted runs, for example, I've obtained only about 50,000 pts on Traction Testground while having a run of 34 seconds, 1 fault, so I just barely got points for that, so I think there is a threshold in order to get those points. OR (@ IT-maciello in particular: ) what you have just encountered, but that is strange, but if you had a run with 1 fault and 28 seconds, and then you beat it to become 0 faults and 30 seconds, I think you should still have obtained points, I'm not sure how the scoring works, but the Donkey scoring I think is slightly different than Global, but you should still have obtained points, but the fact that it broke the Donkey LBs for you is beyond strange and I have no idea why, but I don't think it should have done that.
I'm not sure if this has helped anyone in any way but I need more info, so I can determine what has happened to FatalDragon... (And decide whether it's a Donkey LB problem or if he hasn't got any points because he has faulted runs.)
@IT-maciello (again): What tracks have you done, the names if you can remember?
So,
you can see my donkey LB points 150.384,560, here is Grease Transit when i made the a faultless run with a worse time, from now on, the LB will be broken.

then i improved my times on many tracks, as you can see from the pics below, no points were credited, even if the pop up came out, no progress in the LB, sometimes the points in the pop up from 150.384,560 after a new record instead of increasing, it appears to decrease.... just in the pop up, if i checked the LB sliding from the right into the map the total score was yet 150.384,560

and finally when i improved my time on Grease Transict unlocking the LB.

Please note that after at least 10 tracks improved just 38,136 (150.422,696 -150.384,560 )points were credited, tha's why i almost sure that i lost some points
Alas, there have been so many cases of lost points on LB runs... its almost pointless to figure out which bug we are running into these days. We've had cases of people getting too many points, too few points, no points at all, points on normal LB but not on Donkey./Crazy, points on Donkey but not on Normal LB .... some people getting no points for weeks but others are still working...
... its all a mess. And only a LB recalculation will fix it (welll, the bugs will continue so it wont be truly "fixed", but a recalc would erase all the accumulated issues of the last 2 years, which would be a massive improvement). . . .
... just the other day (after waiting for weeks for the donkey LB scoring bug to be fixed) I ran the Donk on all the new Ferry tracks... and averaged around 400K instead of the usual 800K or so. Lost millions of points there. . . sucks.
Personally, my usual practice (except on the toughest extreme tracks) is not to accept any run on any new track unless its a legit Plat score; in other words... I can always expect at least 750K points in that first run, and wont really ever have any possible issues with "good times but lots of faults". I do get screwed over from time to time. . .
On an alternate ID I tried the opposite approach; going in small increments of time with intentional faults... earning a smaller number of points at a time, making 10+ runs on a track. The overall idea being that if I lose points I dont lose a lot... that I can come back later and try again (in case it was a temporary system issue). Its a huge waste of fuel and I got screwed over that way TOO... but at least it was less.I hate going to that approach, but I think RL is leaving me little choice...
You are right but if i knew that improving in that way a track could have lead me to broke my LB, i'd have avoided to run at all that track...Originally Posted by xitooner Go to original post
that's why imo is not pointless to figure out how and why we could have been hit by another bug.And maybe there are people that are currently running my same glitch, maybe they don't know what caused it, so i gave them also a way to fix it.
for example I'm seeing you have Traction Testground , 3 faults, 46.225sec, now you should know that if you run that track in 47sec making 0/1/2 fault, you could fall into the bug i had
@IT-maciello: I assume Viale del grasso is Grease Transit, judging by the grassoOnly 3 people have done it faultless on Android and I'm 1 of them, and 16 on iOS, not surprising. Arrampicata I assume is Hill Climb (I still need to do that w/ Donkey), there is at least 7 or 8 other screenshots in Italian, but judging from those screenshots, I think you should have had more score, looks like you have come across something at least, but the fact that you managed to get out of that sticky situation by doing Grease Transit again might be the solution for FatalDragon and some of you reading this, but only if you think it's the same problem, and only if you know which track caused the problem in the first place, but not sure if it's worth losing score to try to fix it, but could be worth trying. But we will have to check and wait for him to respond, because again he might not have this issue. Thanks for the screenshots by the way, most appreciated.
@xitooner: I have had the 'no score gets added on' bug for 3 months on the Global LB, but this issue still gives the same outcome. And just so you know I have done the new Ferry tracks with 15 faults normally, because I don't get any score on the Global LB, so it's 15 faults for a reason, so I assume you would get the usual 750K/800K pts per track on the Global LBs... But I have done them with the Donkey and I did actually take note of how many points I've earned and with the time as well when I first did it: (And somehow this came in handy, weird coincidence...)
1st 3 tracks, (Concealed Entryway, Petrol Falls Path and Trial of Courage), obtained at least 800K pts for each.
Leaping Hollows, only 450K pts, don't have the time recorded... sub 26-seconds, I think...
Muddy Mounds, 400K pts, in 26.4 seconds...
Lost Race Track, 235K pts, in 31 seconds... at this point I've noticed a pattern...
Endurance Run, 305K pts in 29.2 seconds...
and lastly the KTM course, 765K pts in 21.3 seconds.
So, my theory is: the longer the run takes, the less points you'll obtain on a track, but we should be fully obliged to obtain the normal 750K/800K, so on a track which takes 31 seconds to complete only means how I got 235K pts, but not 800K Pts, means that I've missed out on 565K points because of the way that it is scored and it also explains why you have noticed a lack of points, and that's why we have lost points on an accumulative matter. And the fact that our Donkey scores are lower than the Global scores is because some of the tracks takes too long to complete, meaning on some tracks we won't get the 800K that we should get on each track, we get like 400K, for example, and this includes the difficult tracks as well, and works in an accumulative way. The KTM event I believe was scored in a relatively similar manner to this, like when you kept scores in the 7 million point club, notice how we get around 6 million points on the 2nd week, because we had tracks were too long, thus only gave us like 320K pts on those tracks, even though we should have been scoring 8 million points+ on each week of the event anyway... What's more weird is the scoring on the PvP tracks, and they give you 3 million on Hill Climb and Bunnyhop, and 1 million on Sine City, I dunno what that's about, but that's considerably more generous, and makes up for some of that missing score... But that's my theory though, but it sounds a little promising...
@IT-maciello (again): For future reference, I think if you want to beat a faulted run, make sure you beat the time as well as the faults, because somehow what you did might have caused complications in the LB scoring, but it's a coincidence you managed to find a fix as well... This goes to everyone else as well...
