Heroku Down - Multiplayer Having Issues (Invisible Friends!)

[ellraiser]

Hey all

Heroku is having some server troubles at the moment, which is the server used for part of the multiplayer system - I'm afraid there's not much I can do about it outside of wait for all the issues to be fixed and then restart the server fully!

Apologies for anyone having issues with this at the moment, I'd recommend steering clear from MP for now as it'll unlink all your games (i.e. the client will appear to have "reset" it's progress when rejoining the host)

Don't worry! the save file hasn't gone anywhere it's just had the "link" the game uses changed so it can't find the correct file anymore and thinks it's missing.

Once the server is back up I can manually help fix any of your games that have seen these issues if you send me your hosts' "settings.json" file, and the joining friends "players.json" file.

Sorry again, and hopefully will be back up and running soon!
This is the second time heroku has had an issue this bad so I'll be moving the server off to another platform as soon as I can.

Thanks for understanding!

Okay server is back up - you'll need your host to run the game normally and save first so your settings.json gets updated, then I can link that into the friends' players.json!

Try using this for your host's "settings.json" file instead!

Your joining friends "players.json" has 3 diff. files so not sure which save is which, tried one of them that looked "right" so you'll have to see!

And for your host's settings:

Hi ellraiser! This unfortunately didn't fix it - what value needs editing to reconnect? I can try the alternative two options.

The host's UUID is used as a "key" in the "players.json" file to store the joining friends game for later. I changed your host UUID to "80VBz0c4edk1epwprAHYRD0!TIwvhoLN7hbQYbJS6tJV0CXsTRvCB1e0e2QFvGgT" which is why you'll see a key for that, the other keys are "10319.0" and "9687.0" which are other joined game saves you could try.

Would also make sure Steam cloud is messing up your changes and resetting them!
