Handling Concurrent Saves

What happens when multiple devices try to save simultaneously

Conflict Response (HTTP 409)

🔄 Automatic SDK Resolution

The StatPotion SDK automatically handles most conflicts by:

  • • Fetching the latest server version
  • • Merging non-conflicting changes
  • • Retrying the save operation
  • • Notifying your game of any issues

🎮 Manual Resolution Strategy

For complex data conflicts, implement custom logic:

  • • Show player a merge interface
  • • Prioritize local vs server data
  • • Implement last-write-wins policy
  • • Create conflict resolution UI

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem: Save data not syncing between devices

Solution: Ensure players are using the same authentication method (device ID or account) on both devices.

// Verify same player ID on both devices
console.log("Player ID:", await StatPotion.getPlayerId());

Problem: Frequent conflict errors

Solution: Player is saving from multiple devices simultaneously. Implement proper conflict resolution or save less frequently.
