BF2S Forums Checking stats for my username does not work but others' do.

When asking for help on these types of issues it really helps us if you supply your username/pid. However, since the expansion came out there has been an issue with the feed from EA. If you have never checked your stats here then it will not be in the cache and since EA's feed is partly broken it might not be pulling your fresh stats. Just be patient and hopefully the feed will get fixed tomorrow at some point.

To clear it up for me:  Does the EA problem only effect SF stats, all stats for people who have played both or all stats regardless?

I am seeing missing items from both BF2 and BF2:SF.

im about 99% sure its anyone who has played a round on spec forces.

The bug (I would say 99% of the time), effects ALL stats for any player who has played SF...  so you play one round, then go back to BF2 maps, and it's hosed.  Now, I have seen *one* player on BF2s.com who had theirs update (they had some SF badges), but that's it (and why I said, "99%").

hmmm,
Haven't got a clue what's going on but my stats froze 3 days ago after playing SF and haven't moved since.BFHQ is fine but I'm missing 500+ points on here.Other sites are carrying the correct global score.Haven't checked all the ribbons and medals because I don't give a toss about them so can't give any info there.

2-Jagger is my nick and BFHQ score is 10,055 (score here 9.511)

Nope, Voodoo...  mine froze up the instant I started playing SF, and I still haven't unlocked any of the SF weapons yet (and at that time, hadn't chosen any additional BF2 weapons yet... I had 1 unlock saved, then after the first time on and relogging had something like 4).

Weird, well it is definitely something within SF that breaks it because some of us have a few badges from Special Forces before our feeds went AWOL.

Ok, sorry for not supplying my username/UID. I hadn't really thought much about it being due to the SF expansion, considering I had never checked my stats here until after I had played SF since I didn't even know about the site.

Thanks for your reply.

Lazarus stop spouting off about things you don't know to be true. There are tons of people with partial SF updates (me included), and my stats updated for more than 24hr after playing my first round of SF (and getting some badges).

Erm, midgetspy, 1% of more than 250,000 is tons of players...  but the actually percentage isn't really important.  Most of the people I've seen who haven't seen updates after playing SF have zero SF stats.  If you've seen a lot more people than I have with SF stats, then maybe it's 80%/20%, or some other ratio.

"99%" is to say that for almost all that I have seen, once they played SF, their stats never updated again...  but also recognizing that there are exceptions to that, so it's the usual case, not an absolute.  Is that untrue?

I did say as an absolute that it wasn't tied to having unlocked SF weapons.  I think I can say that with a bit of certainty, as I have not had an update since I played SF, and to this day haven't unlocked as single SF weapon, and did not unlock any of the BF2 weapons I was still missing until several days after I installed SF, and my stats broke.

Beyond that, everything else I said was an "I dunno", which I hope I can say with a fair bit of authority, mixed in with a bit of off-the wall speculation, and presented as such with phrases such as "for all we know...".

Either way, every bit of all of this is speculation, and just an exorcise in rhetoric, as nothing we say here will help EA/DICE fix the problem wherever they are. ;P

If I recall correctly, in my case... only played SF and my stats where updated once... it's when I played one round on a BF2 rank server that my stats stop working. Yes I unlock all my toys prior to that.

I knew about it much sooner than last thursday, but I didn't even bother emailing them till early on monday morning cause I was well aware that nobody was in the office.

It's a rather pain that the only time I really get to spend updating the site is on the weekends when no one at EA is workin on their end of the system. Kinda makes it tough (for me.)

other sites are working because they have reverted back to an older version of the feed, which has not all of the stats in it. those who were using the "official" beta-tested xml feed from EA are all fucked.

chuy has obviously chosen not to go to an older stats feed. Pesonally, I am fine with that.

He has also made it absolutely clear that he has triple-checked that it is a problem on EA's end. As Lazarus has said, today is only the third business day after Thanksgiving. Chuy e-mailed them on monday. Realistically, I wouldn't expect a solution before friday, if not next week. Unless, of course, it is something so utterly simple that it can be resolved within 5 seconds.

But somehow I doubt that.

I wouldn't count on it, EA has no incentive to help any 3rd party site. Especially when most of them are functional. I hate to sound like a prick but coders have such god complex's (I am a coder also I know).
