Default price charting region

When searching for games to add the results show the game with the correct pricecharting price depending on region, however when you add a European title it always adds it with the US pricecharting id.

For example with this PAL Little King’s Story it show different prices for the different regions:

After adding the selected (European) one it suddenly shows the pricecharting id of the US version:

Is this a bug or is there a setting I missed to change this?

Hm that seems to be broken indeed. When you select one of the editions below, it should really download that PriceCharting ID - but I can reproduce this problem.

For now, the only way this will work is by actually clicking the “top level game entry” (not an edition below) and then toggle the US/EU to the value you want.

Or, to add the edition from the dropdown, then edit the game and modify the PriceCharting ID in the Edit Game screen (which is a bit more work).

My apologies for the inconvenience.

We’re working on a new Add Games screen (but this is a couple weeks away still), and I will see if we can fix this problem between that time.

That explains why it sometimes does work when adding by title.
Unfortunately this also happens when searching on barcode and there usually isn’t a top level game entry to pick in that case.
It’s easy enough to correct by changing the core region in edit and clicking the refresh on the pricecharting ID (this does grab the right ID), but when adding lots of games this adds a lot of time to the process.
I’ll just wait with adding the rest of my complete games until it’s fixed and only add the loose carts for now.

Is it possible to get a reply in this topic when it’s fixed?

Any idea when this might be fixed?
It’s getting kinda painful to correct every game when adding a bunch by barcode.

We have a couple of big changes coming up for the add screen of Game Connect, which will definitely get rid of this problem, but those are still some weeks away (maybe a month). That said I will see if we can perhaps do a quick fix for this.

My apologies for the temporary inconvenience. I will reply here when I know more.

I just noticed today’s update, but unfortunately that doesn’t seem to fix this issue.
Any update on when this might be fixed?

I thought we would indeed be faster, and have it fixed by now… and by pure coincidence about a month after we talked, we did do a Game Connect update :smiley: However: Today’s update was the “Unrecognized Barcode” screen redesign.

The big “Add Games” redesign is a project we’re just starting on - but it is ready to go… I hope it will be about a month of development time, but it could be a bit longer! Again my apologies.

Looks like the add games update went live yesterday, but unfortunately that still hasn’t fixed this bug.
It’s been 6 months now, when will this finally get fixed?

Hm, I did test this adding bit, but not thoroughly enough.

Again my apologies: I thought this system on how to grab the PriceCharting ID was also overhauled, but it’s in a different area (sorry I should’ve known, and I tested it wrong).

I’ve just sent all the information to the developer here, and I hope to have the fix live this week.

@ikk

We have now fixed the issue where it would grab the wrong PCID on both the title and barcode tabs.

Can you please give it another go, and see if it works for you now as well?

Let me know!

@CLZ_AJ It works now, thanks for the fix!
