Save/Load giving error sometimes

Postby vikreed » September 30th, 2017, 8:05 am

Hi,

I am getting few of these when I am trying to Save/load big DB.

An unexpected error occurred inside the Player.IO web service. Please try again. - Reference code: ac7e5fff

What could be the reason?

Thanks,
Vikreed Team..

Hey Vikreed,

We had some issues last week with a few small bursts of high error rates for BigDB, and those were fixed, but we haven't seen any unusual activity this week. I can't see that that specific error has happened at all this week, so you shouldn't have gotten it in your game either, correct?

yes.. it was just once.

For such cases, shall we put retry of the transaction? will that help?

Thanks,
Vikreed Team.

It's generally ok to retry a failed BigDB operation a couple of times, and to make sure there's a small delay between tries.

There's been occasions when a developer decided to retry all failed operations immediately, forever. That can turn into a nasty endless loop that just racks up bandwidth and errors for the game, so please don't do that. :)

Sure. In general, I have made a rule to retry once, and if that also fails, Will log an error.

Thanks,
