I have 3 stars on all of the moon festival levels. but can not play the last bonus round (The one where you need tree stars in all levels. the CAKE)…. bug help

Not a bug. It could be a corrupted settings file. Return to the Episode Selection screen and verify that it says xx/99 stars.

By Duke Driscoll

Well I’m having the exact same problem. The “Big Mooncake” is not available and yes, I have 3 stars on every level (99/99) so… how is this not a bug??
Is there a fix for this yet?
Running iOS 5.0.1 on a 4S with the latest version of Seasons (Year of the Dragon).

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

It is not a bug per-say. It is corruption in your settings file. I can contact you via email with a solution.

Don’t post your email address.
What device are you playing on? You also didn’t answer my previous question.

By Lisa

I have the same problem on my iPad 2. Three stars in all levels (shows 99/99) and comepleted the moon cake level too. Still can’t play the three star bonus level

I have sent you an email.

I fail to start the Facebook level in original Angry Birds. It keep asking me to like on the Facebook page which I have already liked.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

This has been fixed in the v2.0.2 update for iPad. It will likely land on other platforms soon. Just hang tight.

By Applarch

I have the same problem, which prevents me from completing the final (Facebook) three stars and a feather for the Ham em High levels. I’ve got v2.0.2 on an iPhone 4.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

Try restarting your device. If your app is v2.0.2, return to the app and attempt “Liking” Angry Birds using the in-app dialogue box. If still unsuccessful, try contacting Rovio directly.

By Applarch

Had already tried these actions but tried again anyway. Facebook levels are still grayed out, so I have no way to complete Ham em High. Confirmed v2.0.2.

I have a strange glitch on my PC. On Poached Eggs level 3-20, when you kill the first two pigs then randomly 1 of the pigs suddenly disappers and you’re are given points for it. Anyone have this?

Rank: Flinger with 30 points

Registration failed. Make sure you entered the code correctly and you are connected to Internet how to solve this problem?

Rank: Master Slinger with 10360 points

First, what platform are you playing on? Can you give us a little more info. Second, Please don’t type in all caps. ;)

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

Yes, we need far more information. Quoting a random error message doesn’t help us.

Rank: Slinger with 1105 points

A lot of times in AB pistachio, my slingshot disappears.

Rank: Deputized with 240 points

I checked the running bug list above and did not see anything mentioned, so maybe the problem is only with my devices. Has anyone reported or is anyone experiencing that the total score/rank in gamecenter has not updated since the most recent release of Smugglers Plane? If I look at the score/rank per episode, i.e. Jungle, Carnival, Beach, etc. everything is correct but overall score/rank has not changed since prior to completing the last 15 levels of Smugglers Plane. You folks always have the answers so hoping you can shed some light on it for me. BTW, problem exists on both my iPhone and iPad.

Rank: Hardened with 575 points

Yes, exactly the same issue! My “Total Score” hasn’t changed to show the points added from episode 12, but the Smuggler’s Plane and other episode total update correctly. Also, my total score in the “Today” and “This Week” board is different (less) than the “All Time” one. Very strange!

By Peter

I have the same problem with the Game Center updates ad DonnMega. Very frustrating. Would appreciate any advice on whether this can be fixed. I play on an iPhone.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

You would have to contact Rovio directly. Either way, it doesn’t affect the gaming experience, happily :)

By grendel2225

I have a strange glitch(?) with Angry Birds Rio Smugglers Plane. I got ALL 15 mangoes in the game (I went through the walkthroughs numerous times), but it says I only got 13 of them. Am I missing something? Anyone else getting this?

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

There is no glitch as far as we know with Smugglers’ Plane. I would go through our list very slowly, paying particular attention to the ones way up above the level.

By grendel2225

Thanks for the quick response. I’ve gone through the list and walkthroughs very thoroughly and I know I’ve gotten all of them.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

I’m sorry, but with no other individuals reporting issues, that is my only possible conclusion.

By Big Bird

The Scores ending in 9 bug has been fixed for other platforms!

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

If you read the details of that bug, you will see its current status. Either follow the link, or click on any bug to see its details.

By Tucker's Mom

Just downloaded the new “bug” fixes for Angry Birds & once again there is no fix for having to join Facebook to complete Ham em High. What do you do if you refuse to join Facebook but still want to get all the stars?

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

Allow me to be more precise. The v2.0.2 bug fix now allows you to unlock the Facebook levels. The fact that you need a Facebook account to unlock them is not a bug; it is just the way.

By Brett

I’ve downloaded the new 2.0.2 update but the Facebook levels still don’t unlock. It lets me click the Facebook link, then asks me to sign in, then prompts me to confirm Angry Birds access to my Facebook page. I do all of that, “like” the page, and the levels still show the gray lock out. I’m using iphone if that makes any difference. Thanks.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

Try restarting your device. Is all this being done within the app’s dialogue box?

By john

I’ve been playing angry bird for sometime as a matter of therapy scores are not an issue for me although I like to get 3 stars so I may pass on through the system however poached eggs 01 first bird I can’t get past I get the past it everything blows up but I’m but I’m always left with 1 pig

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

I don’t think that’s a bug or a glitch. I think you just need to tweak your shot.

By gfish

Found a glitch!

in ABFwee i got the ‘theme V Ahillinator’ achievement while I only have 6 out of 9 stars on theme V

Mac Track Pad sensitivity – still seeing problems in 2..0.2, birds fly explode randomly without touching the track pad. Any one else see this problem

By roxy

after the latest update to the free angry birds Chrome app the sound became severely distorted .

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

Try restarting your computer or clearing your Internet cache. But if you are planning to clear, be sure to backup your Chrome progress.

Hi.
I’m having Angry Birds seasons version 2.2.0 on PC.
I have this strange bug on mooncake festival level 1-9 when trying to unlock the mooncake:
When I fly the bird on the grass the point “500″ appears but the mooncake won’t appear and so I cannot unlock the Golden Mooncake.
Could not found the bug from anywhere…

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

Then you already have that slice. It doesn’t sound like a bug to me.

Rank: Flinger with 40 points

I have all three Angry Birds and was able to purchase and use the Mighty Eagle for the Original Angry Birds, but I’m having problems purchasing the Mighty Eagle for Seasons and Rio. Its telling me I have to already have the app for which I’m requesting to purchase the Mighty Eagle. The thing is, I’m attempting to purchase it WHILE I’m in the app and playing the game. I hope you can help me out with this.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

You should contact both Rovio and Apple directly, explaining your issue.

By Nicodemus Pederson

I am unable to locate the 1st golden egg. I followed the directions and the egg appeared but has not registered on the golden egg level. According to the map you presented it shows as egg one. There is just a darkened shape with a question mark. Any ideas on how to correct this?
Sincerely,
Nicodemus

Go back and check the White Bird’s instruction screen.

What device and version of the app are you running.

By Margy Chaufty

RIVIO Mobile level Ham EnHigh won’t load the three FB bonus Levels. I tapped like, it shows that I like but freezes and won’t load the levels. The angry bird page does come up on my FB. I have all golden eggs but 21.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

Update your app to v2.0.2.

Please dont double-post.

By Margy Chaufty

I am now 2.02 and it still doesn’t work

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

You have already mentioned this, and I advised that you contact Rovio directly.

Shouldn’t you mark Nokia’s “New Year Egg” glitch fixed?

The GE downloaded before the problem was discovered is still not fixed.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

No, not yet.

I have this bug on seasons and original. In seasons, when I play a stage(counting Golden Egg, 3 Star Bonus Stage), the game stops, and the machine goes off.
And the original, it does lags. and the machine goes off like the same as seasons. I went to Angry Birds Rio, but works good! What is this bug?

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

This sounds like an issue with your specific system. Try restarting your device to clear up some RAM.

I have tried everything, I have a Facebook account..I’ve achieved 3 stars on every level, I have achieved 100% Eagle destruction on every level, I have 26 golden eggs, I have “liked” til I’m blue in the face and still, the Angry Birds Hang’em High three Facebook levels will not unlock. This is infuriating me. Please, please, some help!

Are you using v2.0.2 of the app? Are you liking them through the in-app dialogue box?

By Tammy Easton

I have completed all levels of Angry Birds Rio Free with three stars and have not received any of the achievements.

I changed my iphone to a 4S (had a 3G) and Angry birds seasons is totaly bugged. The star/feather count is ok but when i enter the chapter is like this. When i did the levels again (on halloween theme) the bonus level did not open. Someone know something i can do?

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

Did you transfer your data via our method? It is clear to me that you transferred the highscores file and not the settings file.

By Willian

I didnt transfer for any method. I just restore de backup from my original iphone (that way itunes sync everything). ON Angry Birds (original) i didnt have this problem.

By Willian

Oh and in Angry Birds Seasons, in chapters like Seasons Greedings (chapters that originaly opened 1 level at thime) the bug doesnt exists.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

If you still have the original device, try our method.

By Willian

unfortunately i don`t have the original anymore :(. I reseted the original and sell it. I notice this problem only after the restore.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

I may be able to help you. Check your email.

THAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS MAN!!! It worked, Now i have all my eggs and levels oppened again. Really really thanks.

Rank: Flinger with 25 points

Golden Egg Level -1 on (Windows 7 phone only) has bug. No score variation possible, confirmed by checking scores on Angry birds Score site & using Windows 7 phone filter, only score possible is 36890. I checked Youtube & it appears score variation is achieved by both rock balls rolling into red ball chamber & one red ball escaping. This is not possible on Windows 7 phone as only one rock ball can roll into chamber, other always get stuck on shelf.

Can anyone advise if scores can be transferred to another platform, am sick of Windows 7 phone lack of support from Rovio. Still don’t have Mine & Dine onwards or Mighty eagle. Which phone would offer best Angry Birds gaming?

Any replies gratefully appreciated.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

Don’t blame Rovio. I would blame Microsoft for the way they treated Rovio early on in (and actually before) app development. That said, I recall Rovio announcing that they were unsure if they would update the WP7 app.

Rank: Slinger with 1105 points

Every once in a while when I throw a bird, it disappears and the game crashes.

By gail

how do i unlock the “comming soon” in the Mine & dine with ver.1.6.2

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

You should update your app. v2.0.2 is available for most platforms.

By gail

im new at this..how do i update v2.0.2 on my roku2?

Sorry, I don’t know how to update Roku.

I have Rovio 2.02 mobile app. I have all my golden eggs except 21. I have 3 stars all levels . Ham EnHigh bonus levels won’t load. I have tapped icon and liked FB Angry Birds . Box comes up showing I have liked, then it freezes and won’t open the bonuses levels. Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

Contact Rovio directly.

By Margy Chaufty

I have finished all the levels and have achieved 3 stars on every level. I am missing Golden egg 21. On Ham EnHigh the 3 FB bonuses levels won’t open. I clicked the tap, and liked. A notication box comes up and shows that I have liked and it freezes and won’t download the bonuss levels.

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

I have already responded to you twice and informed you what to do.

With the original Angry Birds on android: since the update I have not been able to open the game. I get a message that an unexpected problem occurred and is unable to open with the option of force close and, …I forgot what the other option is. Neither work. I have tried turning my phone of and restarting no change. I have tried looking for updates. Also tried opening from the market. Any suggestions? ??

Rank: Master Slinger with 13935 points

Either refer to Rovio’s Android FAQ or contact them directly.
