Tool Others F95Checker [WillyJL]

[Bruh333!]

I am getting an error on program start up.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\a\F95Checker\F95Checker\modules\api.py", line 512, in fast_check
File "C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\Python\3.11.2\x64\Lib\json\__init__.py", line 346, in loads

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

It also told me to upload file check_broken.bin so here is the content to that.

This looks like the site API is responding with malformed data. I had a couple of errors overnight as well, but working fine for me now. Try reducing the number of Workers and see if you still get error.

Keep getting an error on game checking same as the ones above me, error 429

Same issue here

 

[WhiteVanDaycare]

Yeah, I'm getting the same error now as well. I think it's related to the F95 API.

Well, I hope it gets fixed soon. I have a full recheck of about 1000 games coming up.

 

[Nerro]

Yes hoping for a fix soon also. Im so dependent on this program It only scans 20-30 games before giving an error, then I have to restart the app.

I'm using the latest version from the Actions (the release version has a bug where if a full recheck crashes like this to a 429, clicking the recheck button again appears to add the whole queue into the tasks again), and I just used a VPN like Nord to change IPs whenever it wouldn't accept any more requests (sometimes a single IP could go through multiple partial refreshes before I needed to switch IPs)

It happened to me. I cleared my cache and it worked...for now. Thanks to WhiteVanDaycare for that explanation link.

macOS login problem...

every time I try to use this app, I get a blank login window (see attachment)

any suggestions?

i cleared cache and im still getting the error.

+1 to all the problems mentioned above. Seems to be related to some change in the API.

 

[Sam]

We've had to impose stricter rate limiting site wide. When multiple user's checks coincide it can effectively cause a DDoS, the most recent downtime 2 days ago was directly attributed to this.

As WhiteVanDaycare suggested, lowering your worker count and minimizing the number of full rechecks should allow you to stay under the rate limiting.

 

[Nerro]

Even reducing workers from 20 to 5 I still get this after like 20-30 rechecks.

 

[evilution382]

even with 1 worker the issue persists
I understand why they had to make the change, it sucks though

me too i tried 1 worker and i could only get through like 20 rechecks before it threw up the same error of thread parsing like Nerro

 

[GrammerCop]

Is this going to kill the app (render it useless)? WillyJL
Would be a shame.

 

[ipaqi]

WillyJL, Maybe it's time to start batching full rechecks into 30 game batches with 30 second intervals (maybe set it as a user setting so we can fine tune it in the field)?

 

[WhiteVanDaycare]

Or F95 could use a caching server for their API. It does cost money (which sucks) but prevents API requests from impacting the main servers.

Sam is this something you guys have had a chance to consider yet?
