Hello,

just wanted to report something that has already been reported
here, but on another server (lost the original thread, sorry).

At the end of my game, instead of being presented with the high
score list, I got a series of messages:
'Waiting for access to record. (59 retries left).'
for all values of 59 retries to 1.

I was playing on 188.40.59.123.

Hope everything's all right.

Cheers,
chlorine

The games are being saved (we don't use the record file); this is a
stale lock file coming back, as the servers are saying.

(The usual cause of this is creative players trying to intentionally get
the Trickery trophy by crashing the game in various ways. ;-)

I went through 7 of the servers this morning clearing those out; I'm
hoping to automate that over the weekend.

Cheers,

Thanks for the clarification.

I might get a plastic star this year so I'd have hated for
my game to be lost! ;)

Cheers,
chlorine
