Says server was scanned, but showing players who aren't connected.

The previous "long refresh frequency" issue (https://www.gametracker.com/forums/forum.php?site=1&thread=150929) seems "resolved".

But now I'm seeing instances where Gametracker.com will say "scanned 1 minute 30 seconds ago", but will be showing players as currently connected who disconnected 15+ minutes ago.

As though "scanned successfully" no longer means "actually contacted your server".

Let me know what evidence you would like to see, since obviously it's hard to "prove" without you having the game to query the actual current players on our server, independent of Gametrackers.com scanning script.

This issue is still happening, FYI.

Right now the https://gametracker.com/server_info/dc.ea117.com:14567/ page says "Last scanned 3 seconds ago", and the player list shows three connected players. But there has been only a single player connected to server for the past 25 minutes.

In addition to that, the Gameserver banner image for the server shows "9 players connected" (9/48). But the server logs confirm there hasn't been more than a single player connected for the past 25 minutes.

So I think "Last scanned" no longer means "the server was actually scanned". And not even GameServers' own player list and server banners are agreeing with each other regarding "Current info for the server."

Moved: Not a Gametracker bug.

Gametracker is not 'live' scanning.
From what you describe; the system is working within expected parameters.
