Live games missing from archives

Hi,

I think this is a new bug, although we've had instances of missing games before.

This time I'm not seeing live games (only daily) in at least one month's archive for a member.

Please compare:

https://www.chess.com/games/archive?gameOwner=other_game&username=lisa1998&gameType=live&gameTypeslive%5B%5D=blitz&gameResult=&opponent=&opening=&color=&gameTourTeam=&gameTitle=&timeSort=desc&rated=rated&startDate%5Bdate%5D=&endDate%5Bdate%5D=&fen=&ratingFrom=&ratingTo=&search=

With:

https://api.chess.com/pub/player/lisa1998/games/2018/04

(output in next post)

There are no live games in that archive (which was in the archive list; I do fetch that first).

An example missing game:

Giles, I think this problem has already been identified & is in hand?

https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/live-games-archive

Yes, I'd call this report a duplicate.

I'd missed the first report or else my sieve-like memory didn't provide it to me.

Carefully reading the most recent CHANGELOG entry mentions a bug with PGNs, but it's not this one. But this is a duplicate thread; perhaps someone will lock it, or simply deleting it is fine too.

Thanks Stephen.

Workaround naturally is to use the website archive feature.  That seems a bit "old fashioned" now!

It would be good though if andreamorandini could give us an update on progress? After all it has been almost two weeks since the problem was first spotted & reported.

Bronstein´s pawn API came to save the day buds. 

First of all thanks for your feedback and patience. We are testing a possible solution, if everything works as expected it will be available the first days of next week.

@skelos we deployed the fix online. I've tested with your endpoint and it's returning the correct data. Thanks agains for reporting this problem.

Thanks. I'm seeing live games now.

A new problem (so maybe a new thread if it's not trivial) is that I am seeing:

[Date "????.??.??"]

in a lot (all I think) of daily games but the live games have real values.

That's not going to impact my current use much, but I imagine isn't what you want in the PGN data.
