FUMBBL Block Dice RR Issue

Post by outcast »

I was going to post this on FUMBBL but it appears to be down at the moment. I've noticed a potential bug that occurs occasionally (but frequently enough!) where I'm not convinced that a block dice re-roll is actually re-rolling the dice (or generating new random numbers).

It usually happens about once per game but last night it happened twice - double-skull, re-roll, double-skull followed a little later by double-BD, re-roll, double-BD.

Not that remarkable in it's own right except I've noticed that I don't get the "urgh" sound that usually accompanies a block dice roll whenever this happens. The dice just flicker momentarily but remain the same (even had a 3DB re-roll appear in the exact same order).

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a log file I can check to see if the RNG is actually generating new values (assuming it generates something that is rounded to an integer)?

Just curious really as I'd probably just put it down to bad luck if it weren't for the sound glitch.

Cheers

It is not done by a loner where you have failed your loner roll to use the RR?

Interesting point, Magictobe - I'll go check the match again (when I can get back on FUMBBL). I thought you got a different prompt that tells you it's a loner re-roll but maybe not on blocks? If it's that, I'll kick myself! :-)

And I spent all this time thinking I only lost those games because of a bug in the client... Nothing smarts as much as living with the harsh reality!!

TOs! You do not need multiple copies of rosters. It's a waste of paper.

Change the thread title to something like 'Nothing to read here'. That will definitely stop people viewing. Guaranteed.
