FICS*MAS Avent calender has stopped working

Help

Hi,

We're running a dedicated server and we were able to do the first 4 days of fics*mas, but ever since that time, we can't unlock any other advent numbers, like 5-6-7

When I try to use the 'hint' option, it says: "This date has not yet arrived, and therefore no hint will be given."

I have checked the server system date (in shell) and it says:

Tue 07 Dec 2021 03:13:37 PM CET (which is my current time)

Does anybody know what I can do to solve this?

Thank you

​

EDIT:
Solved by completely stopping and starting the dedicated server.

We're also running a dedicated server. I don't know if it's helpful to let you know that 5 has worked on the calendar for us or not? So I'm not thinking it's an all dedicated servers bug.

Whenever we have issues with the server that get to levels of game breaking I usually just restart the service and most times that'll get it running right. I also have had to load an old save a couple times unrelated to Ficmas and then the server began running again.

Are you on experimental or early access? We're back on the early access branch now.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I have restarted the server multiple times but I'll try it again.

We're on early access, CL#174799

It seems i used LinuxGSM ./sfserver monitor to restart it when it crashed.
I assumed this was the same as a proper stop and start, but it seems it isn't

A proper stop and start solved the issue.

5 is in the smoke cloud under the word ficsmas. For me, I would try and actually find it and not use the hint. Seems fun that way

Hey,

Thanks for replying, but the issue is not that we can't find it. The issue is that I can't click on it, even though it's past the 5th

Stopping and starting the dedicated server helped. I've edited the link to the bug report in my OP

I’ve had the same problem. Restart the server and it works.

I'm not using a server, but I have not been able to open up the day 1 window. I can open all the rest up to day 5. I haven't tried 6 or 7 yet.

I'm on experimental, and also did it last year.
