Doh, so the red rocket went right off the screen? What tournament id was that and what was your score, I want to check the logs for that game.

http://www.beatthegeek.com/games/TowerDefence/tournamentResults.asp?tournid=478 this one actually thats still running, its the one that it flagged me as a cheater in, which kinda sucks cuz thats the highest score i got in that one, but still not that great so whatever. but i watched the replay and it didn't show up in that

o yea i probably shoulda put this in the first part, but that happened right after i unpaused it, and i killed the red rocket right as i was pausing it, and while it was paused the +2 kept going up over and over but when i unpaused it it was still there and went off the screen then called me a cheater

I'll remove the cheater flag as I know you didn't cheat. If the game screws up like that it incorrectly flags you as a cheater.

That happened to me too on one of the first games i played too, same situation. killed a creep *right* as i paused, also a red rocket, the +2 number kept coming when it was paused.
When i unpaused, the +2 stopped, but the creep went to the bottom fo the screen, going from left to right till it dissapeared.
When i was finished (all waves gone), the game would not end and i had to Menu->Quit.
It flagged me as cheater, and i did sent you a PM about it :)

I appeciate the extra details. I'll investigate to see if pausing the game (occasionally) messing things up.

Wow, thanks so much guys! Because of your detailed post I was able to find a huge bug I have been hunting for weeks! My cheat detector has been flagging people (randomly) as cheaters and i could never figure out why. I've lost sleep over this bug!

After you told me it happened right after you paused I joined a game and spammed pause over and over (using the "p' hotkey). I wasn't able to reproduce the bug. Then i tried using the menu button to pause my game... then voila! The game messed up and creeps went off the screen. It flagged me as a cheater.

I then went into the code and was easily able to locate the problem.

So thanks again for your detailed post. I will sleep well tonight!! :D

(let me know if it does happen again though... I hope it won't :)
