“⚠️ Lobbies are currently non-functional due to a problem in Scratch's cloud variables. This is a Scratch issue, and I am unable to resolve it. Kindly refrain from asking me to fix it and consider reaching out to the Scratch Team.”

“Technically”, there's nothing wrong with the “NEW” cloud variable data.

What the Scratch Team doesn't understand is, the cloud data history logs do NOT display from the current server, but instead are running an infinite load time loop, which defeats the purpose of the data logs.

Yeah!

And since 60% of advanced cloud projects use scratchattach, and since SA checks the cloud history logs (that are NOT WORKING), all of those projects cant get any cloud info.

I thought something like ScratchAttach wasn't even allowed to be used on Scratch to begin with… Isn't that why one of the users had got banned in the first place?

Some time ago, there was this one user named Mildly-Weird who used ScratchAttach to display and spammed inappropriate content on Scratch projects, which was taken care of weeks later. But I don't think that has affected what is happening now. Just that whatever happened now is whatever Scratch Team did with cloud data.

On unrelated note, I think I know what happened to (at least) half of the Scratch Team. I read somewhere that they went to develop under a new studio to work on mobile coding software for kids similar to Scratch. Though it's seems to be mostly run by some of the former Scratch MIT crew, which may explain they don't even care about the cloud data services anymore, while we have a different crew in MIT working behind Scratch.
^ Though it's just a theory.

Really unsure as to whether ST will or will not see this with how many messages they get but here goes:

I recently released this project: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/924703283/

One of the parts of the project is the ability to save data to the cloud such as total points for a team. However, after I completed an action which I know edits cloud data and which has been proven to edit cloud variables in testing, nothing happened to the cloud data. I also haven't been able to edit cloud data in a separate project (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/891223505/) for at least a week or so as well. When will cloud data be fixed?

Potatoes are good. Game dev is good. Potatoes in game dev is remarkable.

my cloud variable seems to be not working and the cloud monitor isn't working ether I've tried everything remaking the variable renaming it everything i could find to do

Edit: Here's The Project https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/890575989/

bro half of the projects cloud variables dont work so when I get wr's it just restarts it and then also for some of my games it doesnt work. When I try to check the cloud logs it won't even allow me because it gets stuck loading. Please fix this ST…..its been going on for a bit now….

They don't work for a reason, and Scratch Team doesn't care about old cloud data projects. Just move on, an create new cloud data projects.

Does this mean I can no longer complain about 3.0 in the nfed cloud project

It could've been the fact the user spammed inappropriate content, I would've thought they wouldn't allow ScratchAttach to be mention there then.

That’s because it tries getting from the cloud logs which broke.

Posts like these are not helpful (all they say is “fix this”, and provides nothing), and we also can't fix this issue (just like what you quoted from @Scratchfangs said), because this is an issue with Scratch's infrastructure, not the projects themselves. I do see that this is your first post on the discuss forums (welcome, by the way!), just please gather context and contribute on other posts that you'll make in the future.

The “data” cloud variable works like a local variable.
I checked all of the code 104857180 times and yep, its a cloud variable!
Also, i cant check the cloud history

Seriously, Try it!
Have 2 devices on the project
Send a Number (only numbers work)
On the other end, you get 0!
Ignore this, it somehow fixed itself!

You need to rename or add/make a new cloud variable to “fix” the current issue, as cloud variables made before August maintenance got broken.

SuperStar9389

ID(for the scratch team cause they can access it):
928964448

Var Effected:
War Zone

So I was working on like an r/place but with vars instead of images
and I called it a day and when i got out of editor..
BOOM!
the list went blank
i reset the var and the same thing happened
i showed the var (i seperated it into a list)
and it revealed that the var was blank!

it's a cloud var so it isn't a client bug it's A SERVER BUG!

pls fix
