[CONFIRMED] Game display played not accurate.

[chikaplay]

Hi,

I just now had my website up and running for about 4 days now. And I only played 1 game out of 1829 games I currently have in my database. I have did no advertising at all for my arcade. Just yesterday I was at 1 game plays which I played one game myself. And today I reach a stunning 376 plays. This is not accurate stats at all, because no one have not played these many games today. I went on my server to check my latest visitors to my website and it only showed "Robots" visiting my website. Like the below example:

Host: 66.249.68.240

/play.php?gamId=1103
Http Code: 200 Date: Sep 19 10:25:32 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 14464
Referer: -
Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html) This one showed up like 240 times in my stats being a visitor.



Host: 173.26.113.124

Http Code: 200 Date: Sep 19 16:50:55 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 39156
Referer: -
Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) This one showed up like 136 times

The software easy count "Robots" visits as game played. So your game played stats is not accurate at all. What I think is happening is when a Robot as Google.com/bot.html crawl over the game link like example: moodyme.com/play.php?gamId=1103 the software counts it as a game played.

*I myself wish to have accurate game played stats so that I can see what my "Real Visitors" like playing. Instead of "Robots" manipulating the game played stats display. This would be a good tool if it was accurate.

Hi,
Thanks for bringing this up.

At this point the game plays does not rule out robots as you had mentioned. It is pretty much a count for per page visit. This will definitely be looked at for upcoming release for accuracy. This will include limiting counts to real IPs and exclude comments refresh.

Thanks,

Hello from Best Logic Games,

We just want to ask when this bug will be fixed? It's really a problem not to know the real game-play count, especially when you are starting a website like us. We look forward for your answer and we hope that this bug will be fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks,
