Shared Substrate Bug

[H4yw1r3]

With my device in hand (Huawei Y9) I tried accessing the newly shared organisms in the forum. Yes, it can indeed open them just to reveal to me that nothing is inside it. I truly believe that the creators of the organism won't lie and hand us a plate full of nutrients. After trying a couple of times, nothing new happened. Genome files work fine since I managed to transfer all my solutions to the other device.

Anyways, after a couple of tries I was convinced that it is a bug. Please do look into this Petter.

[What did you do to trigger the bug]
1. Go to the forums.
2. Find a link that provides a .substrate file
3. Access the file and open.
4. Wait for Cell Lab to load. (half a second or one second duration)
5. Empty substrate is presented.

Can you give an example or two of substrates that don't work? As in actual Dropbox links or such. There are hundreds if not thousands of user-shared substrates here, so an actual example would be more helpful than simply claiming none of anyone's substrates have any cells.

The newly posted links in the Showcase Discussions will do as an example. i tried opening them yesterday and it opens up as if I created a brand new substrate, with absolutely nothing inside and settings in default.

Do you have a link I can try?

For example, the substrates in the first post of each of these topics work perfectly for me:

topic - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6564 - substrate: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s1vvz875jn5sy ... trate?dl=0

None of your examples worked. I have everything needed to load an organism with every cell in-game. There's no other reason on why it won't work. Dropbox's fine, Cell Lab's functionality's fine. All is fine except for accepting shared substrates.

Hmm. Looks like the .genome files don't work now. .genome files extracted from the forum itself doesn't appear on the Genebank when accessed. Opening it again, twice, will only say "Genome already exists" even though I can't spot one in the Genebank that also has the same name tag.

Oh,
I am facing same problem too with my new phone (HTC U12 life).
Everything seems to be fine. But I can't open any substrate and genome from Dropbox and Google drive. Every time I do, it just show up the default substrate. I can't even open the downloaded file in my phone.
However, it is very weird that the document from VK can be opened normally. (Why???)

[H4yw1r3]

I haven't vsited the forum hosted in VK for a while. I'll see if mine works there the next time I visit.

[H4yw1r3]

Alright, mine works with VK as well. Files sent there can be opened.

Alright, mine works with VK as well. Files sent there can be opened.

So strange...
