Would the dev-team be so kind to finally (!) fix the most basic function of correct score recording in multiplayer mode on battle.net?!
After ~20% of the matches played, a screen is displayed saying “Waiting for game results”. This then turns into an error message stating something like “Error. Couldn’t retrieve data”. The final outcome of that is that won matches won’t neither appear nor counted in the personal profile statistics or mmr count. It’s like the match has never taken place.
Weirdly enough, this kind of behaviour solely happens in case of won matches. It never happens with losses.
This issue exists for many years now, but correct score recording is really the most basic function of EVERY game out there and long before Minesweeper…
Could you please finally fix it instead of fixing e.g. the skin of some random character xyz (and other minor stuff) in the campaign?!
Thank you!!!

I also reported this. I’m stuck between 2 different account syncs, so all my matches go to some other old pre-merge account, which means I’ll never be able to get any portraits… ETC
In most cases, these matches will eventually appear on your record, it just means either the server is overloaded or the game isn’t finished at the time (note the message on the screen “match results will be recieved when all players have left the game”)
I described all of that a long time ago.
Still issue persists, after a while (when you have all portraits) you just did not care anymore.
Nope, this isn’t the case. I already “investigated” this error since I don’t post these complaints prematurely and without giving it some time. The matches are definitely lost forever and were never counted/recorded (I did the math). As I mentioned, the matches were finished, everyone left, I waited many times for the entire process to complete, the outcome was always the same.
The error exists as described and it would be great, if they could finally fix it.
Well you seem to be experiencing something different from me, as anytime I see this error the games do get added to my record within some days later. (and it’s not hard to notice your record and EXP changing between play sessions without doing anything). Very odd then that something like this would vary by user.
Either way, it’s not exactly a flawless function, so of course I’d like to see it addressed. Hopefully we can find a way to narrow things down to make it as easy as possible.
Much better chance to be seen by the right people.
You can use the pencil icon by the thread title to move this (so that you don’t have to remake it).
No, they will never appear and will never be counted. I noticed like modezar 90% of the time when this appen the game was win. i think the game was never been so broken like now.
Well mine do appear and do get counted (sometimes several days later), so I guess I’ve just been blessed by the Blizzard gods or something.
What I don’t think people understand is this isn’t saying that it isn’t bugged. Obviously it shouldn’t happen at all, just saying don’t stress too much over missing games.
Dude, can you please stop entering every thread on this forum and with arguing someone’s topic by default? This really seems to be a habit of you. If a certain problem doesn’t affect you, then: Lucky you.
Apparently (and by the number of your total posts) you seem to live in this forum and that’s kinda okay, but don’t be ‘Mr. KnowItAll’.
As I mentioned, I didn’t fire this complaint without observing the problem for some time. In case of this error occurring, the wins will never be counted by the system. Not tomorrow, not next week, not next month. How do I know this (in my case)?
I literally documented my Wins/Loss stats outside of the game after becoming aware of this issue. In the past, I always had days/weeks/months off from Warcraft due to real-life obligations and therefore a lack of time to play the game. The incorrect stats were still in place after I returned.
This extremely basic problem exists as described and needs to be fixed.
I have every right to post on whatever topics I want to post on, and I do not “argue someone’s topic by default.”
However, there usually isn’t a lot to say when you agree with someone entirely- in that case, I usually put a like on the OP. For this reason, you see a bias towards disagreement, but the fact of the matter is, I agree with people on a lot more things than you might think- I just don’t need words to do that. I shouldn’t have to put “YEAH I AGREE WITH YOU” post on every thread I’m of the same mind on just to dispel this bias. I use the Like button liberally on posts I appreciate over replying with words stating such.
Like many of us here, this has long been one of my favorite games of all time and I enjoy discussing it. That isn’t a crime nor is there anything wrong with that in any way whatsoever. It’s not my fault I’m, if anything, more passionate about the game than the majority of people that show up here. So my advice to you would be (in general) not to derail threads by attacking or criticizing me or anyone else for that matter and simply either discuss or debate topics, or not post at all. That’s my policy, and it should be yours too. You’ll notice that unless someone specifically targets me with rude commants, I don’t go around complaining about people with every post I make, because I’m not here for a popularity contest, I’m here to talk about Warcraft III. I should hope that’s why you’re here too.
For me also
There’s a lot of time to rack up all those posts when you don’t touch grass or women.
You have plenty of time to make wild assumptions for the same reasons, I suspect.
Nope, obvious conclusion.
Lets go to the board kids and do the math. I know you don’t fully understand “math” yet, but lets have a go at it.
If every post took you 30 seconds you have spent 39.13 hours on this forum ONLY posting.
Getting average time to post with total posts | convert to minutes | convert to hours
(posts * average seconds to post) / 60 / 60
With your current posts of 4,696…
If each post was:
60 seconds: 78.26 hours not touching a woman or grass
2 minutes: 156.53 hours not touching a woman or grass
3 minutes: 234.8 hours not touching a woman or grass
4 minutes: 313.06 hours not touching a woman or grass
5 minutes: 391.33 hours not touching a woman or grass
Congrats on wasting your time and everyone else’s for every dumb post you argue with next to no knowledge about this game or how businesses work. And that’s not a guess or assumption, I’ve had to read your dumb posts.
It’s not an obvious conclusion, it’s a conclusion children make when they didn’t listen to their parents while growing up.
You can’t make arguments without being inflammatory, which is an informal logical fallacy known as ad hominem, or the “attacking the person” fallacy. Go look it up on Wikipedia if you’re not aware.
Even if one were to take your argument seriously, “touching a woman or grass” is not mutually exclusive with doing other things, so your ridiculous and obviously trolling statements are still logically flawed.
Seriously man, grow up. It only makes you look foolish to make such ridiculous comments.
- it’s not false. All my posts (that remain) on the forum are within the rules, so yes, I do have the right to make them.
- I’m not trolling, so I’m not going to stop participating in the forum and you can’t tell me what to do.
Every single post I make is me giving my own true and honest feelings about a topic. Trolling is when you deliberately attempt to bait people into making controversial comments and they don’t otherwise reflect your honest perspective. I’m not here to bait anyone. More often, it is people like you who are trying to bait me, which is what you are doing when you make replies to me telling me to stop trolling instead of using the forum-provided features to deal with the percieved problem.
If you have a problem with a post, flag it, or put that person on your ignore list. By replying in the manner you are, you’re attempting to pick a fight, and THAT is what trolling is.
Forums exist to discuss and debate. Not having the same view point as someone else does not automatically make someone a troll. If we all agreed on everything, there wouldn’t be any need for a forum in the first place.
Sometimes I do agree with people- But when that happens, there usually isn’t a lot for me to say- Most of the time, I consider it sufficient to just use the “like” function on a post if I support it.
I’m not trolling. You can keep saying that all you like, but just because you don’t like my posts, doesn’t mean it’s trolling. If you don’t like my posts, use the ignore list. I’m not doing anything wrong and you can’t tell me what to do. The forum provides you with the tools needed to ignore things you don’t wish to see. And in the future, refrain from throwing around the world “trolling” on every poster/comment you don’t like. That’s not how any of this works.
Tell me more about this “ignore list.” I have someone I want to add to it.
I’ve never been trying to be funny, if you don’t like my posts, please use the ignore list. I invite and welcome you to do so. Continuing to reply indicates to me you’re not actually bothered and are trying to troll me instead.
Use. The. Ignore. List.
I would be only too happy to help you. 
I only wish more people would choose to solve their problems in this manner instead of exacerbating a situation by they themselves feeding the person they’re branding a troll.
Click a user’s name in a post of theirs and click view activity. In the top right corner you’ll find a menu that by default says “normal” on it. You can click “Muted” to stop being pinged when that person replies, or “Ignored” and then select a duration from a day to 1000 years.
Ignored posts will be hidden but give you the option to view them knowing that they come from a source you may not like.
Perhaps this willingness to help will mean something to you, but if not, that’s fine. I tried
