Unexpected Error Message

Share:

Players are reporting that while playing Mafia Wars today, the following popup keeps appearing. I have experienced multiple times myself and it’s very irritating. I’m not sure what it’s all about but coupled with the white page loads, the game is almost unplayable. Zynga has yet to address all the loading and news feed issues we have been encountering for weeks so we can add this to the list. Thanks to Mary Parillo and Alan Shook for posting on our fan page. Until I saw these posts and the comments I thought it was just me. Please comment if you know more about this.

  1. Yes, thank you for posting this. Also having issues with building properties, where i often have to refresh in order to continue building. Also, in the Arena, when trying to fight.. it gets stuck in the main page.. even though you are fighting.. sometimes refreshing will let you rejoin. Zynga really needs to work on this as this is becoming close to unplayable.

  2. LoL one page load of a mini resulted in the popup sliding up out of view, unclickable - forced me to reload :/
    Happening in both framed and unframed pages. FB is really doing their best to discourage us, but it takes a lot to defeat an addiction.

  3. Mafia Wars has not addressed the Feed issue, but Farmville has. They claim they are in talks with Facebook to resolve the problem. Meantime, the Stream Scanner fix has failed again. I am never going to get the Hockey Arena done at this rate of Feed Fail.

    1. I'm going to finish the Hockey Arena 3+ days early without using ANY scripts. Maybe try actually playing the game instead of sitting back and having Spock play it for you....

    2. Oh and you know for sure that no one with scripts clicked your property for you huh anon? I highly doubt that. Because it is scripts like HFC and stream scanner that make it easier to find and click other people's posts. I guess you clicked your own then, and probably other things as you sit back on your super high horse.

      ...he forgot to add that the way he intends to finish is by having his 20+ army of minis help him, lol. Some people should think before they type the hypocritical fantastic.

  4. how many of us must quit before they do something? They make us do this that and the other thing daily now and half of it seems unsupported.

  5. I'm getting this, also I'm getting all the over posting + messed up feed... more than ever Zynga are like the enemy.
    5 years in and I'm just about on the edge of dumping this game, I've never complained or even criticised here before, and I certainly will not spend any more money on the game ( I used to wait for 82/88% discount on rp bundle & spend £10 but haven't bothered for months)
    That's 3 accounts just about to become dormant if these issues continue.

  6. i dont think zynga will be too worried about your £10 lol every few months

    1. Wrong, once a month, maybe more, if I wait I will get 82/84/88 % discount on Starter Pack. Two other accounts get up to 93%.
      you would sniff at that as on line custom?
      I'm guessing you spend more? Not me

    2. You are paying to play!! think about it ? When FB threatened years ago to charge to use there was an uproar, so FB & other game creaters got together and devised a way to join forces and bring in revenue MW was just one of them!! When MW and other companies have a "Throw Dummy "pacifier" out the pram FB have the power to deliberately cause problems just like little children!! when they resolve their problems FB will fix the links.

  11. I made the mistake of sending a screenshot to support, They came back & told me my acct had unauthorized outside sources (Demon) attached to my game & I needed to removed them. I said ok & X'd out asap. Gees when taking a SS make sure your scripts don't appear in the shot. So far no lighten bolts have hit my acct..lol but Im ready to cancel vip & say goodbye to this game.

  12. I suspect the error has to do with Zynga trying to work around what Facebook is doing. Fortunately, pressing the "ESC" key will get rid of the error message and is just more of a nuisance than anything at this point,

  13. So many problems now & Zynga does FA & Face book are screwing us from there side too . All i can see now is Zynga & fuk book will be the losers as so many accounts will close abruptly !! as for paying for a game ..well if i new this would be free from problems I would consider but in 6 years it has had tons of problems

  14. I submitted a ticket on this to Zynga when it first hit me late yesterday. This is the BS crap I got back from them

    This is Geomer and I'll be glad to assist you today. It seems that you're constantly getting error messages in your game. I know how frustrating it is to have this kind of issue in the game. No worries, I'll do my best to help you Ed.

    I would like to know what browser you're using when playing Mafia Wars. If you're using Mozilla Firefox, I would suggest you to try it with Google Chrome. Launch your game through our main site which is www.mafiawars.com. Use the incognito window when playing the game (Ctrl+Shift+N). I also cleared your recent game logs to remove inconsistencies from your game.

  15. 2 days now for me. It's useless to complain. They always have an answer, but it is never the right one.

  16. seems like a new city is on it's way... may be that the code implementation is the reason for the 400?

  17. if the box is too small to X it out, you can drag the bottom right corner to shrink it and then the X will appear

  18. If you open your browser console log, you will see this is an imprecise error trap, using a generic Error 400 (Bad Request) as opposed to the actual error which is an Unexpected Change Cipher Spec Request (the SSLv3 vulnerability). This error has been occurring outside of Zynga (in Facebook) for several months and is now routinely trapped by most up-to-date browsers. This manifests as a white page with a more descriptive error message. This error is happening in-game and it is probably being caused by an ad server or game server with obsolete (compromised) SSLv3 certificates. This is a purely server-side issue and there is nothing you can do locally (to your machine or network) to mitigate the error. Changing browsers will not help. Do NOT disable or try to defeat the browser protection preventing the change cipher request from processing, as you will open your machine and your network to malicious attack.
    The workaround is to "X" out the message and get off the page your are currently on (a job in Mexico, for example) and change to another page (a different job, for example), and then go back to where you were. It is tedious, however, unless and until Facebook and Zynga commit to cleaning up their servers and their sponsor's servers, the problem will persist.

  19. to many active events. more acc run then usual to do the events and voila: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error) / Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request) . their servers are slower then a turtle.

  20. I am having these error messages constantly, to the point it is near impossible to play the game. I do hope the vast majority of players will have some patience and not quit/leave the game as I really would hate an exodus of players leading to Zynga ending the game all together. Just a bit of patience and perhaps Zynga can get their shit together.

    1. Dont have to high hopes, people are just stupid and really impatient, omg something is wrong, i quit you damn bastards zynga useless whatever, sure they arent that great and i guess they could have done something to prevent many problems, but like i said, people are just stupid and less smart.

      Is this error abit annoying?
      Yes, is it a reason to quit?
      No.
      I just either click the X or refresh, abit annoying, but hey, even modern so called AAA games also have huge bugs and many bugs and no one really quit because of those, im talking about real computer games now, that you need to install and stuff.
      The computer age is fast, but nothing is as slow as the computer age either, many things would go much faster if we just used old school pen and paper, things cost double or tripple of what it needs to in the computer age, im younger then 30 and i even though im very into computer, i think its maybe have taken over abit to much now, things are just so slow in this modern age.
