Can you help – can’t play Angry Birds on Facebook, there is some kind of picture where I would normally be able to click and play. There is a note saying Angry Birds in Ultrabook Adventure Land and if I click on it a new windows appears with Intel’s logo on it. Started yesterday. Deleted cookies from the computer but the problems persists.

I have played and three starred Bobba Fett but my score is not showing up in the BF leader board on Game Center. I think my scores are showing up in the totals leader board though.

It’s possible that your device is not compatible with the game. You may want to contact Rovio directly with all relevant device information.

I think this is a bug, but on the kindle version of seasons, i think just kindle, if you complete facebook level 3 on mooncake festival, and press the next level button, it will play the 3 star mooncake. First time you finish it, it wont do anything when tapped. Restart your device and tap on it, it works. I think its fixed, since this was before the power-update.

Not sure if its worth adding to the list if its fixed. Could have also been a 1-time thing, not universal by any means.

Nope. Not fixed. Just checked then,and it still lets me play the star mooncake. I don’t even think that rovio knows about it.

I don’t claim it’s fixed? I said it was probably unique to your device.

By Golldd

@AMslimfordy, Nope. Not unique. It happened to me also(Android) and I have posted this very same issue on this thread (page 14). However one thing that I noticed was that the score which I had previously (I played the level before 3 starring the whole episode) was overwritten when the level unlocked “genuinely” and showed the score as 0 even though I had scored 88K before. I do believe it’s a strange occurence though.

Woooo hooooo!!!!

This was my response this morning to an email from Rovio. A long standing (at least 6 months continuous, and over a year periodically) bug in Angry Birds Seasons HAS BEEN FIXED.

Bug: Some users are still having issues with 3-star “Big Items” remaining locked, despite obtaining 3-stars on all levels. (More details)

Direct partial quote from Rovio: “the issue should now be fixed the next update of Seasons so that the 3-star bonus levels unlock gracefully without any additional action required from the user.”

We have had dozens of people report this issue and I apologize for not CCing all affected users, but I think this post will suffice for now.

Has anyone noticed that sometimes when you use 2 or more power ups that INCLUDE the Sling Scope it flies to the top left a little? I’ve noticed this but I think it’s just a small bug.

Angry Birds Space 1.5.1 android bug. Level 2-9 of Cold Cuts. Using a tablet emulator running android 2.3 … If I play this level without powerups,the blues brothers do not split. However, all the other birds behave properly…and if i use a powerup, then the blues work just fine.

Yellow birds suddenly are invisible on my iPad except after releasing from slingshot. Does anyone else have this problem? Thank you!

Try restarting your device, SunFlower. It’s a good preliminary bug fix.

I wouldn’t call it a bug but I find ham’o'ween level 1-5 mighty eagle feather unachievable. After weeks and countless hours I only manage to achieve 99% two or three times. I have achieved all other feathers throughout seasons except this one. I have also three stared all levels so my level of play is not so low.

Have you referred to our walkthrough? We don’t claim that it’s easy, but it’s doable…

Yes I have seen fujitoast walkthrough. The two red birds do not do much. I will try again. By the way i’m on galaxy s2 android. Does it make a difference?

Shouldn’t make any difference, no.

Another two hours yielded another two 99s. Used up the two red birds as well. Will try another couple of days and if still don’t make it will admit defeat. Finally beaten by the game.
Mighty eagles are less interesting as placement of sardine cans seems to be more important than actual destruction in quite a few levels.

Reply
By Phung

Just to report back. Got it finally. Luck was on my side when one pig was left standing after the first shot. Got my own sweet time to release the red birds and then landed the sardine can on the right place.
Still think it is an unfair level as it is more about releasing the red birds rather than achieving destruction.
Repeated the achievement by same way and also managed it with fujitoast way. It seems to be more like releasing the red birds rather than hitting anything with it.

There appears to be some kind of bug with AB Friends for iPad. It tries to connect to Facebook and just does not do anything. I initially played and it was fine. Fired it up today after a few days of not playing. My wifi and ipad is fine for everything else. I did a delete and re-install, played the tutorial again – then had the same issue – could npot connect to Facebook.just stays on the splash screen withe timer graphic going around and around – waited 10 minutes. have deleted app.

You would be better off contacting Rovio about these issues, Steve. We don’t have control over their servers and such.

Update: Rovio has reported that the issues should now be fixed. Try restarting your iPad and giving it a go.

This isn’t a bug, just a question. Is there any way to unlock sandbox level s-s on Bad Piggies? I made the mistake of winning all of the levels and then going back and getting the skulls. I am assuming this is why this level is not appearing in my sandbox. I do not want to start over but I really want to play this level. Any suggestions?

Reply

Sandbox Level S-S is unlocked by collecting 10 skulls. See our Complete Sandbox guide for more information about Sandbox levels.

Thanks for your help…very appreciated..
I got all the skulls and did read the sandbox guide…am I missing something or is the absence of this level a bug?

What does your screen look like? Does it say xx/10 or something similar?

Sorry my bad. Upon further inspection, I realized that there are only 8 sandbox levels plus one more for Field of Dreams. I used the complete sandbox guide to match level for level and saw that I had completed them all. The way it is arranged on the screen makes it look like there should be another level below Rise and Shine. Thanks again for your help…

It seems that the Mooncake flip-flop bug got fixed, at least foe me, in the 3.3.0 update. Also of note is that Seasons is now tracking PU scores sepia rely from regular scores, but not displaying them concurrently… At least as of now…

Flip-Flop was fixed in Winter Wonderham, I believe, @TruckDriver.

Just finish the first 15 level of abba-a-bacon and starting level 2-1 when i got a pop up and the 10 points in game center saying I finish the level.

I got that too., and I’ve seen at least one other post regarding the premature awarding of this achievement. The programming doesn’t seem to jive with the achievement. One for the bug list, I suppose….

We have had several reports and believe the claims are certainly true. I will report the bug to Rovio, but since it’s nearly impossible to track any possible resolution as achievements cannot be unearned, (and since its a “beneficial” bug at that), I don’t think it’s worth adding to the list.

Do you have the most up-to-date version of the ABSW app?

Or perhaps it’s because there’s no jetpack in level 4 of Hoth….
