What gameplay feature is this bug affecting?
Games - Poacher Chase

What's the issue? Please include any error messages you receive and as much detail as possible.
Poacher Chase appears to have me flagged as having submitted a score, despite not doing so yet this year. The listed time on my User Log it says this score was "submitted" is approximately when I opened the tab, but I did NOT play the game and submit the listed score. (I played the game several minutes later after finishing a YouTube video, and then got the error message of having already submitted a score)

Any links relating to this bug? For example, if a particular lion is bugging, what is the link to that lion?


Any screenshots you can provide us with?


Please provide us with step by step explanation how this bug happened so we can attempt to replicate it. If it's complex, please include screenshots where possible:
I opened Poacher Chase game in a tab for the first time this year. I tabbed out to finish watching a video, then tabbed back in only a couple minutes later and did a quick playthrough - when I tried to submit, it claimed I had already submitted. Confused, I refreshed, and it did indeed now have that tag.

Checking my user log, I get:
Scored 126 points in Poacher Chase! Earned 0 Rhino Beetles and 0 Poacher Prevention points playing Poacher Chase 2024-03-01 22:36:40

The listed time is approximately when I OPENED the Browser Tab the first time, NOT when trying to submit any score. It appears to have auto-submitted some kind of score for me when I opened it / or when I was tabbed out??

I opened and played the game on my other account and did not have this issue.

The game cannot submit a score without user interaction, unfortunately. In the case of Poacher Chase, the game must be started (either by pressing the "Space" button or by clicking on the game). Once the game is started, the "Send Score" button must be manually pressed in order for the score to be sent. Typically the game pauses automatically when changing tabs, but that is browser dependent. The only thing I can think of is that when you went back into the game tab, the score got submitted then.
