Bug Fixes For Today

  • Restored Facebook share buttons on both user and egg profiles (share to Facebook for increased views and click stats)
  • Fixed a glitch that may have incorrectly created user's accounts upon registering
  • Should have fixed [url] eCode glitches -- still not working? Submit a bug report in the Forums with your code.
  • Fixed a glitch with the "daily system job" where it thought it was the wrong day of the month (sorry about the "Cash Shop Monthlies" are now available notification!)

Did you know: Facebook sharing

When you share your creature profiles to Facebook, we'll automatically register and post the click-specific URL (that increases your click stats). Additionally, Facebook will use your creature image as the thumbnail which means even more views when people see your creature in your social timeline. It's a win for everybody.

Working on...

Bug Fixes Into the Weekend

Thank you for amazing rounds of bug fixes!

From here on out, we'll post less and less about bug fixes on the Site Blog, except if we find anything mission critical. But for the most part, everybody at Egg Cave has done an amazing job at helping us solve most of version 3's biggest issues.

Still finding something that isn't working or is missing from version 2 to version 3? Please submit a bug report at the Forums.

My big eyes help me see all the bugs!

Bug Fixes for Today

  • Fixed a bug that prevented creatures from being auto-deleted from Cove Lists and the Click Exchange when transferred away via Auctions (basically, if the creature isn't yours anymore, it should be removed from both of those places)
  • Fixed a glitch that didn't recache creature images when they evolved
  • Fixed Terron availability times (they were wrong) and the job that updates it
  • Fixed a glitch where Leaf of Vaka user creatures still decreased in happiness

Cove List Management Bug Fixes & More

May 2, 2017 at 4:00 PM 15 Comments

Cove List Management Bug Fix

We've fixed the big bug where your Cove List management order wasn't being saved or displayed correctly. When you save, it'll really save it!

Other Fixes

  • Removed reCAPTCHA (the "I'm not a robot checkbox") in favor of a traditional image code when haggling at shops (reCAPTCHAS would become increasingly more strict the more and more you restocked items)
  • Fixed a glitch that may have omitted creatures from being correctly selected from the creatures selector
  • Fixed a glitch that may have omitted items from being correctly selected from the items selector
  • Fixed a glitch that may have caused Click Exchange clicks to deadlock (we've put in place safeguards to get these clicks to go through)
  • Fixed alphabetical order of creature names in various places (i.e. My Creatures)
  • Removed incorrectly placed text at the Mysterious Asteroid

Cove List Management Is Back!

May 1, 2017 at 4:05 PM 28 Comments

Cove List Management Has Been Fixed

We've completely redone Cove List management when you click Manage & Add Creatures to order your creatures. Instead of relying on the somewhat finicky drag-and-drop functionality (that's normally not the very best at cross-browser compatibility, especially mobile), we've allowed you the ability to physically specify the number that a creature should be ordered. The system will automatically fill in missed or blank spaces.

Sorry for the wait!

How to Get Started with Cove Lists...

Head over to Cove List management by clicking "My Creatures" on the sidebar, then clicking "Cove Lists" in the submenu. Create your first list, then start adding and ordering creatures by clicking Manage & Add Creatures. These lists can appear on your profiles.

When you're finished, click Back to Cove Lists to head back to the Egg Cave main site.

In the mean time, we're working on getting the forums search back online! Thank you for helping us squash these bugs over the last week of version 3. You've helped make the new Egg Cave a smashing success!

Side Note: Click Exchange Fixes

Database "deadlocks" (where the database receives different instructions to modify different data at the same exact system time) have been fixed at the Click Exchange, which was causing certain clicks to not register when clicking. This is what caused certain links to reappear after you already "clicked" them.

Other Fixes

  • Fixed a glitch when canceling your auction early
  • Fixed a glitch when sending an inventory item to a friend

Trinkets Will Be Late

Sorry for the delay on Trinket Travels. They will be several days late for May's creatures.
