Unable to preform any tasks

A Director of the FSB has passed along this message:

http://gist.github.com/121897

Help! I'm wasting energy.

you know what really upsets me about this: the fact that I already have to wait 5 minutes for my energy to refresh and I did that so I'd have ample energy to perform these tasks, and now my time was wasted and I can't earn points/increase levels.

btw, the sequence goes like this: Click Perform Task, it's seen as go to # on this page, and the link changes from playspymaster.com/tasks to playspymaster.com/tasks#

having the same problem

This is not a script for you to install. This is a patch or the bug of a developer of game. You must wait for the game developers to fix it.

must newbies in ror .. common guys remove the hash tags

I'm running into this problem in Safari, Firefox on a iMac... I'm assassinating people while I wait. will test this on SeaMOnkey and Camino in a tic.

This is a problem, how can you say it is not ? We cannot perform any tasks !

Can't perform any tasks when clicking on the links for any of the tasks. At this moment in time, the only thing I can do is assassinate people. @farhan

My guess, and I think it's accurate, is that the script linked to by the FBS Director is an automation hack script thats made it into the wild. The Task page failures we are all seeing may be an attemp to quickly re-engineer the Task page to guard against such scripts, or even server overload from too many people running these scripts and generating too many connections.

I have the same error/problem. I can assassinate, but I can't do any tasks.

Same here, don't fix it too quickly my productivity is increasing

It doesn't matter what browser or OS you're on, the tasks.js is not being served by the webserver, and that is why no one can complete any tasks.

I don't know whether the folks over at Spymaster have removed the script intentionally to perform some maintenance, or if this is truly an error or bug that needs fixing. It would be great to hear from someone there if either are the case, and what the ETA is on restoring the task functionality.

Attached is a screenshot from Safari's Web Inspector panel showing the nginx server response (a 404-page not found) for the tasts.js file.

Hope this helps shed some light on the actual problem.

BTW, I am @iamjolly.

I have lost two $9,000,000 Armoured cars , and will probably stop playing this game, what a waste of time! No wonder they need to hire a programmer cause they didn't get it right the first time ! FUCK !!

Perhaps the company don't feel this is a problem because it is forcing people into assassinations for something to do... therefore testing out the company's adjustments to the assassination engine.

So probably they want more people to use this site, they want more people doing more assassinations, they are tired of people liking their game and wanted to piss them off so bad that they would all quit playing it and all or any other games that they put out, the real game was to see if this site for complaining about poorly coded games can handle huge influxes of livid gamers, they are running a test to see how many people will keep playing after totally screwing up their games beyond repair,... I don't know help me here am I missing something?

Well I guess I can get some sleep, I've been up since I started playing, I forget when that was, lots of five minutes's ago, Sunday night I think, I don't know I really can't remember, maybe their lawyers counsilled them to do something to make people quit playing because the severe addictivness that was causing insomnea was going to become a liabilitydue to a rash of lawsuits,.....

Might tasks.js be cashed in our browsers somewhere that we could recover it from, and then use something like firebug to link to a local javascript file?

IT'S BACK. Problem solved

Tasks are back!!!!!!! :D

yayy, it is now solved

That FUCKING SUCKED, and I will keep playing for a while, till I keel over from exaustion or the next bug pops up !

task are back. they'v solved problem

Is anyone else like me and accidentaly hits the sell button sometimes for weapons when your trying to buy them?

The game is going to be expected to come down at certain times. The times that it does will more often or not be before the morning rush to work. During these times please be patient with us and understanding as we are trying to fix the kinks in the game and keep it fun for everyone.

The script at the top posted by Eston was for people like elliotcable.

So me pushing the task button and not getting any sort response is just the game being down? Despite the fact that I'm still getting income from my safe houses, and able to buy items on the black market, assassinate people and deposit money in my bank account? Somehow that explanation doesn't really hold water for me.

It would be nice if people would not get so frustrated over a game.. I am sorry that you 'lost time, money' and whatever else you considered a loss. Maybe they did not consider this a problem because they were working on the issue. They showed what's up, told you what is going on. They've been here trying to answer your questions and handle everything that's going on.

I think it'd be nice that people be more greatful sometimes instead of just biting their heads off or just being critical. I can understand the frustration, really I do. I also understand that it's a game that a lot of people seem to be taking for granted. Enjoy it while you can how you can. Take more things in stride. If there's an issue-look here to see if it's already posted or post it yourself and work WITH the staff to help resolve it.

It would be very cool to have the "Preform Task" button tell me that Flash is required rather than doing nothing.

So what was the cure again?

Google Chrome is a full version browser!!!

I am running Firefox 3, latest build and I cannot get my task to work correctly. Perhaps rather than bottleneck the client side you should secure your ServerSide scripting?

Having same issue on 060509 at 2130 pacific. Using Firefox 2.0.0.20 with flash 10.0.22.87 which has worked flawlessly up until now.

Not working for me on OS X in Safari or Fluid. Also not working on the iPod Touch, and it was yesterday. :( Have tried hard refreshes.

This no longer works for me using Safari 4 for OS X. Doesn't work on my iPhone either.

Same problem...

After the latest system upgrade to fix the assassination engine, no tasks are working for me either :-(

Tasks have stopped working for me as well. Firefox 3.0.10 (not a beta but latest stable release), latest Flash player. Logged of and cleared private data (cache, etc) several times. Tasks still won't work.

Fixed for me now.

All fixed. Thank you!

Flash is a piece of ****.... Every page takes much longer to load now. Nice job guys. *clap*....*clap*

To tell the truth, I'm experiencing that same lag. You click a task button, it greys out, and then everything just ... "sits there" for approximately five to ten seconds. Then the page reloads, having completed your task.

Not freezing, oddly. So I'm not sure what could be causing it. Usually if there is lagging I'm the first to feel it.

TBH, Flash is so old and obsolete that Microsoft Silverlight is much better (and they have a Mac version). Besides with flash you can't just click once like you can with HTML buttons, you need to click and click until Flash decides it wants to listen, which can be a good 3-5 clicks.
