Summer Pignic won't run offline?
-
I just updated my AB Seasons this morning and went to work where I have no wifi. AB Seasons launches fine, I click the first level in Summer Pignic and it tells me to "check my network connection and try again" and the level won't open. I don't have this issue on other worlds within AB Seasons or with Regular AB or Rio. Anyone else have this issue today? Is there something special about Summer Pignic that it needs to access the internet?

Did you play the level at home first? It would probably be playable off-line if you'd 'unlocked' it first. The game probably communicates with a central server to confirm the time to try and prevent people just changing the date on their device in order to unlock all the levels early.

I did not play it at home first. I had a feeling that might have been the issue. I assume all will be well later tonight. Thanks!

You have to play online the first time you launch Summer Pignic. The game uses the internet to match you to UTC, so all levels unlock at 8am UTC.

8am?how about in Indonesia?

Google "UTC time converters" to figure out what time that is for your time zone, or just go here:

An update on this: I took it home and everything worked fine there. Played the first 2 levels and put it down. Fast forward to today, back at the office trying to play level 3 and I get the same internet message. It appears that you have to play each level once while online in order to unlock it for offline play. This seems only to be the case with Summer Pignic, I have not had this issue on other Seasons or Regular AB or Rio. An annoying new feature...

Quite correct.
The first time you open a new level, you must be connected to the Internet. The game checks that it is after 8am UTC (see ChaosTsar's time converter) and then downloads all available level .lua files.
Any time after that, the .lua files are on your device so you can play pre-opened levels.
The reason why this is new is because Summer Pignic is running on a countdown and must download new levels each day.
