Hi! Does it work if you keep the original titleId? What do you mean by “registered and logged suddenly crash”? Do you get an error message of some kind?

</div>

The “WARN: flow.update() now requires dt. Assuming 0.0167 for now.” is caused by an update to one of the helper libraries that I didn’t take into account. I’ve pushed a new version of the PlayFab Example project to take care of this, but it really shouldn’t matter.

I tried the example project again and I couldn’t see any problems with it. I’ve attached a recording of a run here:

![](https://defold-forum-bucket.nbg1.your-objectstorage.com/original/2X/2/23f4517c87a6410d033369030aa9c0ef94750baf.gif)

I wonder if there’s some corrupt auth data saved for the app? Could you please delete the cache for the “PlayFab\_API\_Example” app? On OSX files are stored under “user\_folder/Library/Application Support/PlayfabAPI\_Example/”, not sure where app specific files are stored on Windows though.

</div>

Could you also try the following to the top of controller.script:

```
local http_request = http.request
http.request = function(url, method, callback, headers, post_data, options)
	print(url)
	pprint(post_data)
	http_request(url, method, function(self, id, response)
		pprint(response)
		callback(self, id, response)
	end, headers, post_data, options)
end

```

This will monkey-patch the http.request() function and always print the the request and server response. I wonder if you run into some issue when contacting the PlayFab server. An example of the response I get from the login when credentials are stored on disk:

Question for you @britzl : Have you added/changed anything on the Playfab server side? Like added statistics counter or save data or edited something on the server script?

Ah, that’s better. I see that it fails to write to a file (probably to save your authentication credentials)

```
ludobits/m/savefile.lua:41: Could not write to the file \s4pg.1.

```

I’ll look into it straight away. Thanks.

I’ve fixed an issue with savefiles on Windows and also made a couple of minor tweaks to the leaderboard

This indicates that screen navigation happened before an http callback function was invoked. I did not take into account what happened in the app after a login. A login will cause the leaderboard to refresh, but when it had refreshed navigation had already happened which messed with the callback function. I changed to use message passing to deal with that kind of callback and the error is now gone.

Please give the new version a try and let me know if you find any more problems. Again, thank you for testing and providing feedback!

The steps im took:

1. register new account  
2.play the game until game over or press esc  
3.leaderboard popup(showing unknown, id number and score )

And just now, i also test if the Internet connection is unstable(request time out),  
and it crash
