Double counting of Bases / Streaks #1

Open IamToyflish opened 5 years ago

IamToyflish commented 5 years ago

i ran the scoreboard at german lasertag league today and noticed that streaks and base-shots (or takes? not sure) are doubled.

I can provide the json game logs, if that's helpful.

We've seen something like before, too. The exact reason is not known, but I'm thinking that the UDP packets are actually coming twice, possibly due to the UDP broadcast leaking to multiple network interfaces or similar. On one of the local halls we saw similar issue (all events shown double) on one of the actual P&C scoreboards, while the other scoreboard didn't have this issue.

It could be that if the game server is both in the wired and WiFi network and also the scoreboard backend, it might record the events through both interfaces as they're just broadcasted to the entire network(s) and the UDP receiver also listens to the events on all interfaces.

Needs some further investigation and figuring out if the condition could somehow be detected..

It's definitely the multi network issues. I've done it before on several scoreboard. Just needs to make sure that the pc running it, is only in 1 ip range.
