My studio is developing a game for a company that just bought a full license
for smartfoxserver pro, and we are finding the codebase very easy to understand and a breeze to network and develop with. We have run into one
significant hitch, however.
We are using Actionscript 3 and are using the flash development environment, and as of yet, we haven't needed to create an extension and are programming client side only.
We have found a bug, the likes of which I have never before seen, or thought possible, which has derailed development and we don't know whether it is something we have done wrong or if it is a bug in the server.
The reason I describe it as a bug the likes of which I have never seen is that the bug pops up periodically during our coding and has to be fixed repeatedly, and then for the mysterious part... we sometimes, while the bug is not present, change a line or two of code, compile and test, the bug comes back, then we change the same lines of code back to what they were when it was working, recompile, but the bug is still there!
Anyway, the bug occurs when one client exits from the game after creating a new room. The other clients which are connected to the game then crash with a bug which is similar to when the updateRoomList is called in the wrong order, but its then followed by a message mentioning that the client has received malformed XML, and continues to receive that same message on every attempt to communicate with the server.
Heres the error log from both clients:
