View Full Version : BL tier bug

When I restart RDSS, the BL/BL is messed up:
45159

If I make a change to contender status or change the line, it calibrates the BL/BL to be what it should be:
45160

However, if I restart/shut down RDSS and go back into the race, the BL/BL screws up again.

Help please! :D

Tim, could you show me your Configuration Screen settings, including the Edit Partimes Table (click the Edit Partimes button).

I don't get the same problem using your pacelines for that race, but I also get slightly different ranks for some horses.

Whenever you get strange sorts on Analysis screens, switching to a different Analysis screen then switching back usually fixes that (or changing paceline or Contender groups - anything to cause a recalc/refresh of the ranks). An outstanding bug, when it happens.

Here are my settings and pars:
45165
45166

After selecting lines/contenders, here is the BL/BL:
45167

After restarting RDSS, here is the BL/BL:
45168

Next, I change contender status of a horse and then change back:
45169
45170

The latter image is what my BL was prior to restarting. When I go back and restart again, it reverts back to this:

45171

Headscratcher for sure.

Tim, perfect documentation of a problem - thank you! Now I will attempt to duplicate and fix. The Cache-loaded numbers should be the same as initially created. Some recalc process is not happening.

I DO note that the tiers are correct - just not specific numbers.

Will report back.

This was my BL/BL and Rx for the race.

45188
45189

After having to close down the computer and reboot, this changed.

45190
45191

Changing contender status or a line and back again seemed to rectify temporarily.

I had screenshotted the pacelines that I had selected in the Selections forum, so I made a few changes:

Under "Paceline Tools", I selected "00 Manual (You select!), rather than letting the computer automatically calculate using the other tools. I also de-selected "Select Pacelines during Race Assembly".

I cleared the cache for the MVR card that I had downloaded (only worked the one race - Race 2). I then went back in and selected my pacelines from before.

BL/BL appears like this:
45194

BL is consistent with my post in the Selections forum.

Rx on the other hand, is different:
45195

In the Selections forum, the Rx looked like this:
45196

I then opened a new race within the MVR card. Then, I re-entered the 2nd race. No change.

Now, I close down RDSS and re-open RDSS. Now, things get funky with BL/BL:
45197

7 and 3 switched tiers, and the Primary Factors of the contending horses now have some 6 and 7's, seemingly taking on the ordinals from the non-contenders.

The Rx also changes, although the horses ranked do not change order:
45198

Next, I change the 1A, 2 and 5 back to contenders. Then, change them back to non-contenders.

This fixes the issue for now, at least until the next time I close out.
