App switches between AccountId and UserId when game starts about mtgatool-desktop HOT 13 CLOSED

Some users reported that v6.3.8 fixes this problem for them.

I confirm this.

So looking around , accountId is not something we care about now, rather we only need the socialId, that is used during matches and everywhere else. I can probably make it query the current social ID once every a while so it stays up to date..

Yeah. I can't see any value associated with the log's accountId, so that should be ignored.
I mistakenly referenced the log's PlayerSocialId as SocialId above. sorry for the confusion.
What might require additional investigation is why both the log's PlayerSocialId and userId show up in the app's config menu as valid choices.

Edit: correct Id keys

Then why are all of my match history and decks (especially before two IDs existed) under the AccountID rather than the SocialID? I don't see anything except constructed/limited rank connected to the SocialID, whereas everything else uses the AccountID.

The log's AccountId seems to be empty (at least playing unranked BO1 and quick draft). Do you mean the log's userId?

I mean whatever ID existed before PlayerSocialId was added. A quick glance at my log shows that it it appears as userId, clientId, and in a bunch of log lines about sending or receiving events. It's the one that's specifically not PlayerSocialId.

Nope, my PlayerSocialId is different.

Possible fix in 3bd32d9 (to release in v6.3.3)

On my end, the playerSocialId and PlayerId were the exact same, thus the confusion for me. Something is funky with my account after the change (probably some internal wotc accounts stuff we dont know about)

farewell social id, long live client id

Final question for my understanding: what led you to decide on dropping the PlayerSocialId?
In my logs from the last couple of days the PlayerSocialId shows up right when the MTGA starts up. After clicking on all sorts MTGA's menu items, I only have seen the userId and clientId during game transactions up until now (but that is no exhaustive). That means the app would not know the Id until a game was played.

6.3.3's Account ID is still flipping between the log's PlayerSocialId and the userId/clientId depending on game play. My current games seem to be saved with the latter.

@zyll71 The playerSocialId is not the one we need, I was very confused because on my logs both are the same, but other users brought to my attention the one they were using before this change was introduced was the clientId/userid and not the socia id, that is the newer and might be different for some.

The userid/clientid can be obtained via the daemon or when a game starts, and its the one we always used for our tracking, I need to maintain the same ID so old users that now suddenly have a social id thats different can have their data under the same ID as it always been.
