Published Foundry Playing Old Version, then newest then older still????

I Published 2 Grinding maps for the Purse drop Event. (I know some people do not like them :)

The problem is that I have 5 different versions playing at the same time in the game.

When I look in the "Best" Tab - sometimes I am seeing the oldest version with 3 reviews (you even need 5 to get out of "Review" section).

The written reviews are there : 5-10 written reviews. But the stars are not.

The problem is that the less stars (review numbers) - the older the version.

I updated my Foundry to help the player - but the version in the game changes constantly between versions.

Even between playing the Map it will change for instance on 1 Foundry - V3.1 - Vanilla - V2 - V3.1.1

etc.... It just keeps changing.

What is worse is that the older foundry versions are just that older versions.

I have withdrawn and republished - no HELP at all.

If you look up "Purse" in Title you will see that my Foundry is not the only one with the problem.

Easy way to see it is look at how many star (reviews) it has eg: 4 - change characters and look again - it might change to 2 or 15. It is even different between characters.

What will happen with normal Foundry ;(

    You have to drop the quest from your quest log after republishing. Otherwise you get the old one.

    I know Izatar - This is in the search menu.

    I just played new Titled version - came out - new search - had reverted back in search to old Title.

    . . . . . I am having this issue as well. My 2nd publish is showing up quite often instead of my latest publish. Sometimes I have to Zone upwards of 3-6 times for the latest version to show. Why is the server keeping old versions when a new version has been published over it? This just doesn't make sense to me. This is happening to not only me but at least 8 other people I know who were playing my missions and letting me know the hoops they jumped through to try and get my mission to show the latest version instead of an early buggy version. Very frustrating, to say the least.

    Is this in the Bug Reports forum anywhere? -- I'll add it to my Foundry Bugs links.

    It is now. ;)

    Yeah it was quite frustrating trying to test Zeb's quest yesterday since the ability to access to the quest was temperamental at best.
    Not sure why it is happening but I said quite a few "mehs" due to this issue!

    Same thing is happening to my quest, changed the whole map and everything and it's still showing up for a lot of people that do the quest even though the old scenery shouldn't even be there anymore.

    I've noticed that it mainly happens in zones where I was in when accepting / going to the old foundry quest, if I move to a different zone from where I haven't accessed the old foundry quest from it will always show me the correct one.

    . . . . . . Thanks, passing this on to the Devs. Please feel free to make a new Bug report thread for this in the Bug forum. For now, I'd like to leave this here in Foundry to assist others in figuring this out that may come looking here first for information. Update: Confirmation received that this was placed on the Dev's desks.

    It was simply going back and forth for me. Luck of the draw more than anything else.

    However switching zones absolutely did change the search results.
    Also the plays on the old quests were tacked separately so you could tell if it was an out of date quest based on the number of plays. I don't know for certain if the old quests incremented or not, wasn't paying that close of attention, but the number of plays in the out of date quests were always lower than the updated quests.

    EDFIT - Thanks celentra. I most certainly did miss that thread and, well, Zeb must be going senial. He is 'Old Zeb' afterall. :p

    I will happily take credit for Celantra's foundry quests any time. :D Though, i am not Celantra, and he probably wouldn't let me take credit for them anyway.

    Go to bed. :( You do a great job here on the forums, but you gotta take care of you too.

    . . . . . I was trying for just 29 more Waukeen Coins to get an Orb. Sadly, my body did as you suggested without my permission before I could obtain enough. In any case, this issue has been forwarded directly to the Developers.
