Add friend bug

Postby prototype » 09 Apr 2012, 18:55

I dont know when it started, but I noticed it yesterday for the first time.

The problem:
1) I add a friend
2) I restart faf
3) The just added friend is no longer a friend,the friends I already had have remained.

conclusion:
The added friend seems not be stored.

Who is the friend, or is it any friend?

And it's a server side problem, OR your connection was dead (and FAF didn't realize yet)
I waited ten years for Supreme Commander (1997-2007)
and have not a single day felt disappointed with it!

Ok I tried again, I found some stuff in the logs
My connection is fine, I am connected to faf with an irc client and I am watching some stream on own3d.

1) Uninstalled faf and reinstalled using "FAForeverLobby-511.msi"
2) Cleared cache and relogged
3) Cleared settings and relogged
4) Added 4 random people as friend: here is what I found in "forever.log"
Code: Select all

4) Closed and Started FAF

5) Notice that the 4 newly added friends are no longer there

As obvious, this message in the log file does not seem to be so ok: "Protocol Error, server says: UNKNOWN_COMMAND"
Hope I gave you enough info this time.

For me its exact the same but i think i have this problem for some longer time than prototype.

My log looks also the same.

Code: Select all
2012-04-10 14:30:41,364 ERROR    faf.client           Protocol Error, server says: UNKNOWN_COMMAND - {"friends": ..........

The new friend command is not yet recognized by the server.
