November 19, 201014 yr Been around 6 hours now. http://hwbot.org/community/submission/1079874_optytrooper_superpi_athlon_mp_2000_palomino_49sec_984ms?tab=info'>http://hwbot.org/community/submission/1079874_optytrooper_superpi_athlon_mp_2000_palomino_49sec_984ms?tab=info http://hwbot.org/community/submission/1079874_optytrooper_superpi_athlon_mp_2000_palomino_49sec_984ms?tab=info
November 19, 201014 yr The HWBOT engine has a backlog of all the rankings that need to be recalculated. When submitting a new scores, the backlog notices this, saves the necessary information (eg: what ranking) and does all the necessary calculations. The backlog is flushed everytime the recalculation is triggered: each time a new score is submit or when someone pushes the 'recalculate now' button. In some cases, the engine incorrectly scans the info provided by the submission, or the data of the submission is provided incorrectly and one of the table values is empty. In this case, the engine tries to find the right ranking to recalculate, but will never find it and is stuck with this one entry. You can see this very clearly: when this happens, a new thread is opened on the forums by someone who wonders when he will get points. I just have to manually delete that faulty backlog entry and points are awarded again.
November 19, 201014 yr Actually, submission links are not really useful to solve this problem, at least not when we're speaking of the current practical solution of removing the row with the empty field. The engine doesn't even store the result_id that needs to be recalculated. Since points is function of rank and weight, every submisison affects the point scoring of any submission within that category. Therefore, the engine stores the information of the specific ranking that needs to be recalculated. The engine recalculates the points for each score in that ranking.
November 21, 201014 yr Just try to look on your profile page and you should see the points/rank. Global calculations seem to be slow. I had zero points for everything I turned in yesterday, but the bot caught up on it today and I see the scores. ________ Vapir no2 Edited February 19, 201114 yr by Super Nade
November 28, 201014 yr There are still some problems. Just submitted two scores about 30 min ago and i have not received any points yet.
November 30, 201014 yr Crew hmm, it's hanging again. /edit:thx, fixed. Edited November 30, 201014 yr by Turrican
December 18, 201014 yr And it's hanging again. Submitted a cpu-z result http://www.hwbot.org/community/submission/1092224_zzolio_cpu_z_core_i7_920_5425_mhz And i have not received any points yet:S
December 19, 201014 yr I think the server needs to be overclocked:D It's real slow to give points for submitions
December 19, 201014 yr It's some kind of bug. For some reason, there are more and more unlinked (to hardware) scores appearing.
December 20, 201014 yr Author I have a couple that have been stuck for quite a few hours now. http://hwbot.org/community/submission/1093254_optytrooper_wprime_32m_sempron_64_3200_palermo_54sec_203ms http://hwbot.org/community/submission/1093256_optytrooper_wprime_1024m_sempron_64_3200_palermo_29min_26sec_750ms
