I lost my score :-(

[Bob]

Hi,

I post this message with the hope that someone can help me.

Just 3 hours ago, I bought the golden sling, and I had a score 1,063,00+ in the bronze league. I play on iPad.
Then I pressed the button “connect to Facebook”.
Now when I am connected, my score is zero, my sling is gone, my coins are gone, but I am still in the bronze league.
When I am not connected, then my score is zero, I am in the glass league, I have 440 coins, but my sling is back.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I would prefer an explanation “for dummies” ;-)

Thanks a lot.

@birdbob Have you tried replaying the levels?
I’ve had this “display” bug in the past. When I replayed the levels, my previous scores were back.

Hi,
I just tried, but no, my previous score do not show up :-(
I sent an email to [email protected]. I’ll see. It is the first time I made an in-app purchase. And obviously the last time. I’ve just realised how “fragile” these purchases are.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

@birdbob, I had a similar experience but I retained my gold sling. I had only been playing on mobile and never had logged into FB for ABF. I was coincidentally also in copper when I decided to log into FB on my phone’s ABF and when I did I was back in glass league with no points (but with my sling). When I logged off FB from inside ABF, I showed back up in copper, but with zero points. I don’t know why this happened but I think if you link your mobile account to FB after playing for a while on mobile it resets your mobile account or at least the scores. Since I didn’t lose my sling, I just started playing in glass and working my way back up. Good luck with Rovio. I’ve heard they’re good about making things right with ABF screw ups.

Thanks for the warm message!
I admire your determination to work your way back up to your previous level. But this is not for me. Rovio just advised me to get a refund from Apple, so this is what I will do. I’ll keep playing Rio though. I quite like it :-)

You’re welcome and I’m sorry this soured you on ABF, but I understand that frustration of starting over. The only reason I was good with it myself was that I didn’t know what I was doing with power ups and all the first couple of weeks I played. I figured that with a better understanding and some experience, I should be able to make top three in the first two or three leagues this time around and indeed, mostly because I had the golden sling I think, I did get 1st in the glass league and I’m currently first in wood by a good amount. I discovered the leaderboards after posting the topic about keeping scores here and feel kind of stupid for not knowing that and creating a thread because I didn’t know, but I’m in the top 50 of scorers this week there and that’ll probably be enough to keep me in 1st this week. Still, I had to start over and I can appreciate not wanting to go through that, especially when you had a screw up with buying something on top of everything.
Enjoy Rio and anything else you jump into. If you ever get back into ABF and need a FB friend to compete with, let me know and I’ll send you a FB friend request from my ABF FB account.
All the best!

I joined ABF when it first came out on PC. ABF has been available on android for a while and I occasionally play without logging on. I do not want Facebook on my phone. Now that ABF will no longer be supported on PC, will I lose all of my coins and power-ups changing platforms even if I allow Facebook on my phone?

[Bob]

I have no idea. The only thing I can say is that Rovio does not seem to be interested in solving problems. The 2 mails I received was “sorry to hear you had a problem. Try to disconnect from Facebook” and “contact Apple yourself for a refund” (what I did, but so far, nothing).
