Thus far we've been unable to verify or reproduce this bug. Or, it has been observed but it cannot be triggered with a reliable test case. You can help us out by editing your report or adding a comment with more information.
Descriptive Problem Summary:Games being hosted public are not showing on the hub. These aren't games myself are hosting, but is being hosted by a team member. He is hosting 2 games at once and sometimes one won't show on the hub. One of the games uses a hub password. Both hub pages are under different keys. Sometimes happens with one game being hosted.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:Host a game for a while and check to see if the hub is still reporting it live.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:


Expected Results:That a game being hosted live will show on the hub.

Actual Results:Sometimes the hub doesn't report a game being online.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?It's kinda random
In other games?Yes
In other user accounts?Yes
On other computers?Yes

When does the problem NOT occur?It is kinda random and I couldn't really answer that well as I am not super familar with how the hub keeps up to date on live games.

Workarounds:When the game no longer shows take it down and put it back up to tell the hub a game is being hosted I guess.

I have been unable to verify this, so I'll need a test case. Testing in both DS and DD with a game that's known to work in past versions causes no problems for me.

There are however many other reasons a server might not show up on the hub, such as if the host is behind a firewall or the hub password is incorrect. It doesn't sound like this happens consistently enough to test, but if you can come up with a numbered set of steps that can reliably produce the bug then I can re-test.

Kinda have to put this one on the back burner for now. Host updated his byond and so far no issues.
