BUG - my character is not updating on the ToME character pag

#1 Post by TheronGodspeed »

My character is no longer updating on the ToME website. Could you please make it do that?
I don't want to finally win and not see my character posted that way online.

When you load your game, are you getting a red message in the bottom left (or wherever you have your game log displaying)? Probably says something about "Deactivating online profile due to bad game version" or "Deactivating online profile due to bad addon version (addon name here)". Rarely 'Deactivating onilne profile due to no online profile active'.

The first and the third are caused by starting your game too fast, or not having an active net connection when you are at the title screen. Specifically, you need to wait for 10-20 seconds and have the box on the left side appear that says 'the current version of tome is so-and-so.' (1.0.1 currently.) After that box has shown up, you can load your saved game.

If you get the message about addon's, then either one of your addon's is out of date, or the creators botched the md5 setting.

Finally, if your computer is either laggy or overfast, you may not notice the red message. Mouse over wherever your game messages appear and scroll your mousewheel (right away, before you start wandering around and doing things) to get it to come back up.

I'm not getting ANY of those messages. No messages are appearing except for the 3 red ones in the middle telling me I've joined channels.

Please tell me I'm not screwed.
I've used NO mods, none.

I don't understand why it's not working.

Please help.

Also, I scrolled over all chat areas. No such messages appear.

My character page says, "This character may have been played while not on line."

I'm not sure how that would happen. I always wait.

Is that message a deal breaker? Will it never update now?

If so, I'm done. To play fair and square for so long, only to have to start over and lose all progress is beyond ridiculous.

Please help.

Almost every character says 'may have been played while not online'. Is that the only problem? Mine all say that, including my two winners. At some point, the net connection almost invariably hiccups for a moment, which is all it takes for that to happen. It should continue to update when you save and close the game, at the very least, so long as your net connection is active at the time, and you are validated. How long has it not updated for?

I'm experiencing the same problem, and I too am getting no error messages. My Higher Alchemist (now level 46) was last updated over 4 days ago, when it was level 34. What is strange is that a character my nephew created with my instance of Tome was regularly updated yesterday.

Edit: the problem seems to only affect this character; other characters I played with, in both 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 versions, get properly updated

Edit 2: even a Dwarf Summoner I created in version 1.0.1 has ceased getting updated
