Can you check your collections in the collection tracker and let me know if you are still getting the AJAX error? or any other errors? We are hoping we found the issue, and can't trigger it on our end at the moment. But we want to be sure. Thank you As of yesterday July 12 the AJAX error has gone away, so whatever changes they made, it worked for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 12,266 Administrator · Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 @Magus FYI it looks like the "beta" has become the full site and... a few minor bugs. Clicking "All" in the Platforms nav dropdown just takes you back to the homepage, rendering all console inaccessible aside from the ones listed (the "top" consoles): You can scroll down on the main page to see the rest of the consoles but this is far from ideal; it's only accessible from the main page, and any buttons in the nav SHOULD have some actual function to them, even if just scrolling down the page. Further, and equally or more importantly, search is completely non-functional for some games, despite them existing in the database (as evidenced by being in the autocomplete on the form): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus | 169 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 @Gloves Thanks, i will send these along. I agree the ALL button should have a function, this must have been overlooked. As for the search function, there is definitely an error there for Kuon. We'll check out Kuon and see if there is an issue that could also affect other titles. If you see any others and don't mind posting them here, please do. If we have a few titles doing this if they exist, it will help narrow down why. Thanks again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be something to do with short search terms, or perhaps "partial matches" not working. Searching "Jak" works fine it seems. Searching "Daxter" returns nothing.

Magus | 169 Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Hey Guys, Just wanted to check in and see how GVN was functioning for everyone? Are there any issues you have noticed? Are the load times quicker @SilverspoonGaming? Collection tracker working 100%? We have addressed most of the major issues at this point, but are hoping to further fine-tune and get the site perfect. I have a list of minor issues you guys have posted here that will be addressed soon. Also when you guys see any database entries that have any bad sales data, when you report them by hitting the flag button, they are going to come right to me! So i can address them Asap. Thanks, Edited August 5, 2020 by Magus 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Startyde | 180 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Sweetness. Magus what is the official protocol / stance on adding new and older games. There are still PS3 games In looking to add. I added them manually a while ago but they don't seem to sync with any price tracking.

Speedy_NES | 102 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 FYI, there are still several (higher end) NES titles with $0 CIB prices (since somewhere in July I believe). Bubble Bath Babes, Cheetahmen II, DK Jr Math, Chubby Cherub, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added them manually a while ago but they don't seem to sync with any price tracking. So essentially we are hoping to have some kind of feature in place by the end of the year that includes a lot more user interaction for adding missing games. We have not fully worked out the details yet though, but that is on the table right now to have sorted out by the end of the year. The hope is to really tighten and fine-tune sales data as well as expand the amount of games and variants in the database. As well as give me more access and tools to freely clean up the site as needed when you guys report stuff here. The issue mentioned above with the $0 CIB prices is being worked on as we speak as well. There was a bug, so thank you @Speedy_NES and @doner24 for bringing this up.

Aguy | 784 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I'm not sure why it took so long for me to get on it, but I finally signed up and logged my collection his afternoon and was wondering if there was a line graph to see the changes in my collection value over time. Also I'm getting a value of $0 for Rodea: The Sky Soldier for Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeatherRebel5150 | 1,096 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) @Magus There is a glitched title for Friday the 13th for Switch when viewing through the collection tool. I don't know if it really affects anything, but it might for searching purposes. It Looks like this Friday the 13th: The Game â?? Ultimate Slasher Edition Edit: Looks like there are other titles with the same thing going on GRIP: Combat Racing â??

RH | 5,212 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 You guys run reports for these things? Believe it or not, I seem to find a lot that aren't updated, but I reported SOTN because that seemed like a really, really common game people would want to look up. If the back end devs have time, I'd run some metrics to see frequency of sales and then compare that to the last known posted sale in the database. If a game sells about one a week, but no sales have posted for 2 months, I'd take a look at it. I feel like 10-15% of the games I look up appear to be lagging. But, to be fair, some times the numbers are correct for a specific section. For instance, the New sales might be up to date, but the CIB data is stale by months.

Homeboyks | 30 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Something I've noticed, as a Canadian, is that when using Canadian currency, the values are completely broken on some games. Using Top Angler as an example, it averages at $72 USD for a CIB copy of it, but when switching to CDN values, it jumps to $144.55. As poor as the canadian dollar may be compared to US, it's not at 0.5 yet thankfully. I don't know if this affects other currencies as well, but the conversion definitely seems to be off. EDIT: Just checked australian dollar as well. Converting what it says the AUS value would be returns $139 USD. Definitely no where close to the $72 that the US setting gives. Likely affects all currencies that aren't USD. EDIT 2: Just checked a random batman game, Batman & Robin on PS1. $28 USD for a CIB, $56 CAD. Basically double. I think this is affecting everything, and is probably why a lot of people in the Canadian FB groups think GVN is so broken still and refuse to use it. @Magus Edited August 12, 2020 by Homeboyks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homeboyks | 30 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Probably related to the issues I stated above, the historical price of a specific listing is completely broken in the other direction. In USD, the number shows correctly between the listing on GVN and the listing on ebay, but when viewed in another currency, it shows a completely different value that doesn't make any sense. Pictures attached for Batman & Robin for PS1. 23.99 USD, $16 something Canadian, which would be closer to 13 USD when converted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how the dev does it, but i will forward it his way to try and figure out a way to clamp down on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get back as soon as i hear back from the dev and a solution. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
