Finally beat green belt! | Forums

[Gcandy]

Congrats!

Alas, that bug has been there for 5 years across 2 games and multiple platforms. They're obviously never planning to fix it.

They cant fix it unless they re-write the whole thing from scratch - The software has become spaghetti code .. so they can either try to fix for years n years, re-write the whole thing from scratch or keep selling a broken program for a low price n hope the mugs will keep buying it ....This is the reason im quite happy not buying any DLC for this game for a long long time ... it just not worth it for a few xtra tracks & LB access.

Well i got gold medal last night with 138 faults at 26 mins, on green belt. Still got the connection error. Ive been Green Belt 3 times now and havent saved a score yet. Has also happened both times ive beaten Blue Belt. So thats 5 ninja clears, and no scores saved to LBs. Which affects ur overall score, and thats the worst part about. Yeah ive unlocked Black Belt, and all the ninja contracts leading up to it. But my overall rank is lower than it should be, and that sucks

Wow that does suck, now I’m trying to get gold and as I’m the 2nd or 3rd obstacle I get a message saying I’m not connected to the servers. This is for real piece of crap.

Ouch, I feel for you. I came in at 20 minutes and 144 faults for gold and I was waiting for the connection error screen but score went through thankfully. Does anyone know what the last place score is that is posted on green belt? Maybe one could crunch the numbers and see what the maximum time/fault combo is to post a score as others have said that there is a glitch that doesn't allow some scores to post as if the faults actually add the 5 seconds to the overall time without displaying it.

Green belt is so finicky as I feel once you learn the objects it is easy to have decent runs only to be screwed by some how putting up 50 faults on a CP or two that were breezed through just a run before.

Huh I never thought of that I bet that’s the problem so if it takes me 20 minutes to beat it with 213 faults there game thinks I’m over the 30 minute.
You sir are genius.

Nice work!

Nice work?
Please don’t tell me you work for ubisoft ? The whole point of me grinding it was to get on the leaderboards. Finally beating it and not getting on the lb is like a kick in the groin.
Talk to your bosses tell them this is unacceptable.

The lowest score posted for green belt is a bronze medal with the time of 16:30.793 with 401 faults. I had like 17 minutes and 223 faults silver medal.

There goes the theory that it's a Ninja specific thing of time + faults*5 sec > 30 mins. That lowest recorded time would be 40 minutes that way.

Since it happens on other events not just ninjas, I suspect it has something to do with total time in the session. That's not the same thing as the leaderboard time. You may reach CP1 first attempt, or you may fault tons of times and spend several minutes before finally reaching it. The fault count stays at 0 and the recorded time doesn't include all the failures, nor does the replay the server sends to you, but it's still real world time in the session. I think if that time gets too high some buffer somewhere is maxed and that causes an upload failure which produces a generic "lost connection" report. For example, maybe your 17 mins was actually closer to 20 mins if you were stuck reaching the first CP for a while? Maybe the game has recorded all those first CP fails and that's resulted in a buffer overflow, and the deletion of those attempts is done server side? Whatever, it doesn't seem like it would that hard to test or track down if you're a developer on it.

Speaking of ninjas, I've just noticed they have no replays available, for any runs it seems. First two tracks for sure. Has that always been the case?

after the last patch all replays are broken...

Yes, when you play the replays the cameras are typically broken, however for those Ninjas there seems to be no replays at all. The option is greyed out for every time I looked at.
