Game play time and play count is doubled inbetween syncs

Issue #9288 open
Pitiejkey created an issue

Preconditions:

  • Launchbox desktop version: 13.16 on Windows 11
  • Launchbox android: 1.15
  • sync is enabled on both Android and Windows version of Launchbox
  • same game on desktop and android version

Description

Sometimes the game time and game count is doubled when switching the lauchbox android to desktop.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch the game on android version and play for some time in order to have some data for play time and play counter.
  2. Sync data on android.
  3. Exit from android launchbox.
  4. Launch the desktop version of launchbox and sync the data (no need to launch a game).
  5. Check the same game on desktop that you played on android and note the data mismatch - not immediately the same play time and counter as on android (probably due to some lag or server settings of sync you need more time to have proper data)
  6. Go back and launch android version.
  7. Sync data.
  8. Note the time and play counter is doubled.

This bug is not always reproducible but I noted it many times during after above steps has been made.

I am not using any third party software for the matadata modification and such - using Launchbox android and desktop interchangeably like playing a game on android and checking smth on desktop.

    Are you able to tell me a few examples of games that this is happening for you.

    For each game you list, can you edit the game in both apps and tell me the Games Database ID that is listed for both of your devices.

    Mario's Picross - Nintendo Game Boy - game id: #18863 is the same on both Launchbox win desktop and android.

    Asterix - Sega Master System - game id: #2981 is also the same on both Launchbox win desktop and android.

    I think it applies to all of the games but I did reset all of my stats in order to reproduce it, above examples 100% sure time is doubled every time I switch inbetween systems.
