File I/O not synchronized immediately between rounds

[krasi0]

I'm using the tournament manager in a way where the game schedule has every following game to also be in a new round, e.g. ... game 15, round 0 game 16, round 1 game 17, round 2 ... Hoping that the TM would synchronize the File I/O after each round. It looks like that doesn't always work though. For example, I tested with the following games: BotA vs BotB, BotB vs BotA, BotA vs BotB and in the third game, BotA didn't seem to have access to the second game. What could the issue be? Is File I/O really synchronized after each round or could there be any delays?

It should be synchronized after every round if EnableBotFileIO is set to true in the server settings.

Yes, it is enabled. Weird... Keep in mind that in this case, each game is a separate round.

The server should print to the GUI log: "Moving Write Directory to Read Directory" every time it's about to do that. How often does that happen?

I can see it printed before every new game

I just did a quick test with a two bot tournament and I'm seeing the correct behaviour (1vsall and allvsall). It shouldn't matter if you have a custom games list either. Any errors printed to the server console (not the GUI log)?

[krasi0]

Nope, no errors. I mean files do get transferred from read/ to write/ as expected. It's just that when you have multiple games with the same 2 players changing slots (A vs B, B vs A, A vs B) it is as if some of the games in between (in this particular case B vs A) get lost in terms of data stored into write/. Weird indeed...
