I hate to post such a vague bug report, but we have a collection of issues that indicate MySpace is retrieving incorrect cache keys or otherwise has corrupt cache data that is getting sent to our servers. Something happened on the MySpace side between yesterday and today that is sending us incorrect user IDs from profile surfaces. Since we authenticate the request against the key sent by MySpace, the requests look legitimate, but what appears in user profiles is notedly incorrect. I suspect this has been going on for a while, and some overnight change at the MySpace network center has generated a new set of strange symptoms. I previously submitted a bug about incorrect timestamps from the MySpace server pool but never got a confirmation. Perhaps related?

Yeah, this is a little too vague

Also, if something is affecting your apps, you need to post app ID

I'm not sure what other bug report you submitted, so you may want to link it here

Thanks :)

This is Hotties for Sale (app id 105848).

Here is what is happening:

Case 1: Users A, B, and C go to view the profile of user M, but the page displays the profile info for player X instead. This persists for a certain amount of time (a couple of hours) and eventually M's profile will reappear. This happens with the profile surface.

Case 2: User N logs into the game and gets user data for user Y (canvas surface). User N can chat/buy/whatever as user Y. Some people try to uninstall and reinstall when this happens, but the wrong user data persists, again for a couple of hours.

The only types of caching/persistence we have running are session cookies and mySQL stuff. A session collision wouldn't explain case 1, where all users get the wrong profile data.

If this is MySQL corruption then I wouldn't expect it to automatically fix itself after a couple of hours. And it is the user ID that is wrong, which comes from MySpace.

 let me take this up with our database folks

 

Can you give me some member id's of those who are experiencing this? If I were to add the app could i replicate it? 

 

Also which version of OS?

On Friday morning we got a report from user id 444517486 that they had the wrong game data. Friday evening user id 75136555 had wrong profile data. We also got a message from John Nguyen in your office about profile issues. He should have a number of user reports you can work from.

Let us check things out on our side. The weird thing is that we are only seeing this issue with your app.  I'll follow up later this week with a status.

Johnny
