chaoswar4u Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi all. This bug is probs known. I have a suspected game exploit where users are using 2 browsers to duplicate game money and crystals via the transfers option. Is there anyway to stop this. Any help would be greatful and thx in advance for all replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronus Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Re: Crystal / Bank Transfer Bug. It's not two browsers, it is two computers. Hitiing the same button at the same time, can create multiple queries running at the same time, thus not giving it time to update the database, so it doesnt know your actually out of money, and letting you deposit it all twice. I would also like a fix for this if anyone knows how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronus Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Re: Crystal / Bank Transfer Bug. bank.php, crystalbank.php....any page. A user waits til theres a little lag on the game, then gets two computers, does an action(any action) on both computers at the same time, and since the database is lagging, it takes a second or two to do, and it doesnt update the query right when its clicked, and when the server finally goes to get the queries, it executes them both at the same time. So, if you deposit everything thats in your hand twice, then the database reads both those queries at the same time, which means it shows on both queries you still have that amount in hand, thus depositing the money twice. This can be done with anything. I talked to a coder of a different game and he said there is a way to limit the database to take 1 query at a time. It won't slow down the game, as queries take milliseconds to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgrimes985 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Re: Crystal / Bank Transfer Bug. did you ever find a solution for this? i know it's possible but i can't seem to find any specifics on how it's done. There are games that don't allow more than one window open (tab or browser or computer) which would be ideal. I can limit the number of pages per second, but 1 page per second can be a pain in some places. Please let me know if you found something, thanks.

jds137 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Re: Crystal / Bank Transfer Bug. I would do this restrict each player to a single session on a single IP. If you can figure how to do it, issue resolved. I am working on it atm, if I figure it out, Ill post it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
