RNG Errors

Do you know when these rolls were performed? Was it before or after the August 29th update?

Also, how far apart are the rolls in the first two examples? Are they done at the same time or a few minutes (or more) apart?

Okay, so here's what we're thinking on this. First off, the far-right screenshot is irrelevant at this point, because we completely redid the RNG stuff in the August 29th update, due to exactly that problem (the old RNG didn't have good distribution of numbers, which could lead to streaks like that). So that leaves the other two. The two d10's rolling min/max right in a row is likely coincidence, especially since those were rolled with (I'm assuming) 3D Dice. Small sample size and all that. Let us know if you keep seeing that problem specifically with the 3D Dice, but since it's more of a physics simulation than a instant RNG operation, it may be a bit more "streaky" than the normal dice roller, although over time the results should have a suitably random distribution. The thing that's concerning to us is the two players getting the same dice roll result in the same order. The way that PRNGs work is that they are predictable -- if you start with the same seed, you always get the same numbers back in the same order. In *theory* we're randomizing the seed so that it should be nigh on impossible for two players to get the same one (and therefore it should be nearly impossible for two players to get the same results in order like that). So we're wondering if we've somehow missed something with our seed generation. Again, the problem is no longer one of bad distribution of rolls (getting a 63, then 59, then 100 is fine from a random-number perspective), the concern is that two players got the exact same results in order like that. On the other hand, again this is a small sample size, so it could just be a coincidence. But we're going to assume for now it's not :-) I just pushed out a new update where we tried a slightly different approach to that problem, so let us know if that fixes things for you in your next game. I would also recommend disabling the 3D Dice for now (I know, sorry!) if you're really concerned about this, since there's a lot of new code there, and even though the d100's aren't actually rolled in 3D yet, it's possible that just going through that new code could be causing an issue. We'd like to determine if this is truly a problem with the new PRNG, or if it's something to do with the 3D Dice code. Thanks for answering our questions so promptly :-)

Well it should only a be a temporary loss :-)
