-
Fixed an issue where game completion wasn't recorded.
There was a condition where the game state could try to save twice in rapid succession causing only the first attempt to succeed and the "finish" event to be missed. A proper queuing system has been added with retry logic to ensure all game states are reliably saved, even if there are network hiccups. Thanks for reaching out about this one, @irishlluv!
