BOB not working for me (but is for others)

Post by EricPhail »

Operating System: Windows Vista
Browser: Mozilla Firefox 22.0
Scripts/third party programs used: BOB 5.2.5



Concise description: BOB stopped working for me following update that added the rematch button

In all games I open


Specifics: After the aforesaid update (first noticed approx an hour before I post this so 9am BST say) in all games I open, BOB merely sits at the bottom saying initialising BOB (like it did the last time it broke)

Screenshot of one of my games below

discussion on livechat suggested while broken for me it was working for others

I think that this BUG is not affecting premium members, but I might be wrong.

BOB isn't working for me either, so does this mean that freemiums will no longer be able to use BOB?

Nope, BOB isn't working for me either. I updated to 5.2.5, but that didn't help. :( What to do??

Seems odd. You'd think it would be the other way around, since the Rematch button only shows up for premium members. You'd think the new button for premiums would screw with bob

Hmmm, okay. Wasn't sure. Someone in Live Chat said he didn't see it, so i just assumed.

Of all the bizarre things: 5.2.3 works but newer versions don't
(ref: viewtopic.php?f=528&t=193836 )

completely baffled now

(This is of course a temporary fix only until 5.2.5 works, I hope)

Basically caused by the site adding some script-tag (after 5.2.3), and moving it (after 5.2.5), which makes BOB find the wrong script for some configuration details (and causes it to break). Should work again with 5.2.6.

Good. 5.2.6 is out. This should slove the problem. Contact me if there are any further problems.

Hmmm, I'm on 5.2.6 now and I still have the "initializing..." problem. Chrome, Tampermonkey, Windows 7 x64.

EDIT: Right after I posted this (naturally), I saw that BOTH 5.2.4 and 5.2.6 were installed. Disabled the former and everything is working now.
