The pigs at Piggywood Studios have released another batch of films to the world in a bundle of all-new levels. Will Piggywood Studios become the new Hollywood after this? The update is out now for iOS and Android.
Get ready for Piggywood Studios: Part 2 – this time, it’s personal. Or something like that. The pigs are back with a new batch of low budget takes on high budget film classics.
This update includes:
- 21 new levels in Piggywood: Part 2. Walkthroughs are live.
- New Golden Eggs. Two hidden in levels (no spoilers, please) and the “Superstar Golden Egg”.
- 3 brand new tournament levels
- New Bird Wear!
- Minor tweaks and bug fixes
NBA purchases disabled also
Just updated on android. Seasons crashes instantly after rovio logo. Did a “reboot” of my phone, still crashes.
same goes for me too. after one second keep crashing. is there any way to fix it?
@sparty83 & @genkik I am having the same problems on my iPod Touch 6th Generation, too. I try to play the app, Rovio Screen goes, Title loading screen comes, and… CRASH! It’s back to the Home Menu.:(
Luckily, I made sure to send a request about this to Rovio Support so they can fix this.
The same thing was happening to me on my iPhone. I deleted the app and then reinstalled it. Works fine now :)
@kyle-pearce did you lost any data with reinstalling? Also i am not using rovio account. I scared to lost my scores:)
@genkik I am signed in with my Facebook account. I did not lose my progress in the game, any purchases, eggs, stars, or feathers. The only thing that reset was my coin total. My data was also backed up on my iPhone. All that said, I’d say if you are concerned, just wait it out.
i understand, thanks for info. i am not using any account, so i am going to wait for next update.
I have not had a chance to report it yet to Rovio.
I will wait for an update. I will not unimstallfor fear of losing my progress. (I didn’t backup prior to updating)
I don’t mind waiting for the bug fix on the new levels, just wish I had the option to go back and play older levels while I wait. Should have checked the comments here before updating. Grrr.
I’m with you. iPad air crashes as well as iPhone. Same thing happened with a previous release and they did fix it after a day or so. Going to wait it out
Sit tight guys, Rovio is aware of the complaints about crashing on Twitter and is working on a fix! Should’nt be much long of a wait since the update is fairly new…..
Thank you for that update @rowdypup ;-)
They are still working on it
They need to work faster lol
How long, oh lord, how long?
“Bug fixes”. That is hilarious.
“Minor tweaks”
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, anyone?
Anyone else really hate that they locked all the old seasons levels and you can only unlock them by using bird coins? Boo.
What? Not on mine…all are open…nothing is locked
Mine were locked after the last update too.
I find that is very unfair. I think my older episodes may still be unlocked, but to unlock them again by using Bird Coins? Like I said, probably very unfair, especially if that will cost a lot of Bird Coins, which I currently don’t have.
I believe someone should tak to Rovio Support about this.
To unlock the old episodes, install the older version just before the update the bird coins were introduced (The NBA Finals update) and complete one level of each episode, then install the latest one. Your episodes will be unlocked for free. I always have a backup of that old update for that case. It always work for me, so also you all too.
Anyone find the GE’s yet? I found the one in the 12 star level, but I can’t find the other one.
**Spoiler Alert**
—–
It’s the level before the one you said…all the way left in the sand
Hi, could you be more specific please? I can’t find it…
It’s all the way to the right, on the bottom in the sand. Not the left.
Thank you!
I am having the same problem: it crashes right after the Rovio graphic. I am not happy!!
Question for iOS crashers. Is this happening on the latest iOS 10.0.2, or is it on earlier versions as well?
@there4im – It’s happening for me too on iPad Air running older version of iOS 8.2…I really hope they fix this soon, whaayyy ;(
I’m on 9.3.5 and yes it is crashing.
IOS 10.0.1 Crashing
IOS 10.0.2 crashing
iPad 3, iOS 9.3. No crashes for some reason.
Add me to the list of crashing app. iPhone SE 10.0.2…
second day of update and crashing still.
My iPad has the version before 10 and same problem.
iPhone 9.0.2, and it crashes
7:24 EST And still crashing on iPhone 6s with iOS 10.0.1
Game crashes when you try to open it
Add me to the list of crashing app. iPhone SE 10.0.2…
Same. I see the Piggywood promo for a couple seconds and it shuts down. Reboot doesn’t help.
Does no one at Rovio even check these updates before they are released? I find it unbelievable that a “bug” like this can get past any and all testing. It’s not that difficult a problem to see. Simply install it and try to open it?
Suspect it’s a lack of understanding how to package an App Store update vs. a whole new install. Some of us have installed fresh and been able to play. While I and others are waiting for a patch because we will lose scores, due to the Facebook login screw from the last update. QA almost always works from a fresh build–which is a bad way to test.
Thanks for the explanation. Sounds plausible… but when you consider they’ve been doing updates over 6 or 7 years at least and that probably well over 95% of the downloads are updates, it sure doesn’t say much for their quality control.
I agree conehead and I wish they would give some kind of update as to when we can expect a fix. this is really getting old.
Can anyone tell if your scores and coins are saved if you decide to start logging into Facebook to play? I’ve been playing since the first day it launched and don’t want to lose everything. If I don’t already because of the current update’s problems.
The new update crashes on my iphone running iOS 10.0.2. I logged this with Rovio yesterday & have also sent them a crash report from my phone – no fix as yet but it’s early days
I think level 2-24 is based on Apocalypse Now. The others are more vague.
Still no progress update?
Perhaps things are worse than we feared!?! Hope they fix it soon!
How did Mighty Red post the in-game screenshots when the game itself is unplayable because of bugs?
@sonnykero The game doesn’t crash on my iPad Air 2 with iOS 8.3. Guess I got lucky.
@mighty-red-1
I guess you got lucky!
I haven’t tried updating it yet right after I’ve seen this post…
OK, I’m still locked out of the game because of the “minor tweaks and bug fixes” in the update, but here is my take from the walkthroughs:
2-23: Howl’s Moving Castle
2-24: Apocalypse Now (I’m with @birdmeister)
2-25: Indiana Jones
2-27: Frankenstein
2-28: ET
2-30: Citizen Kane
2-32: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
2-34: King Kong
2-35: The Nightmare before Christmas
2-36: Spirited Away
2-39: Titanic
So that’s two films from Hayao Miyazaki, which is surprising. Too bad Pacific Rim doesn’t seem to be there.
2-37 : Chaplin’s Modern Times
2-31 : West Side Story???
@bullets came up with way more than I ever could. Can’t disagree with any of his suggestions.
31 – rear window
38 – the shining i think?
Guys, I’m new here, so apologies for jumping in, but 2-24 is definitely Avatar.
2-33 could be Tremors.
I just got started but I think maybe 2-22 is Aliens…?
2-22 is Mars Attacks. It’s a pretty clever rendition too!
I was wondering if it was “Mars Attacks.” The dog with human (OK, pig) head is familiar, but I never saw that movie … Hmm.
Mars Attacks, it is…I’ve never seen it either. I knew it couldn’t be as simple as Aliens, along with the fact that the only thing linking it to those movies was the UFO and maybe the giant crazy looking creature…and possibly the bad wig on top piggy does look a little like Sigourney Weaver’s doo. Hahaha. However, the “zapping” looking thing definitely looks like it belongs from a movie titled, “Mars Attacks” 8-D
It’s actually a funny, albeit somewhat ridiculous, movie with an impressive cast. Everybody should see it once!
2-26: The Angry Birds Movie.
Very late but I think 2-27 is Metropolis.

Has anyone had any kind of meaningful response from Rovio on this crashing issue other than “we’re working on it”. I’m not on any social media sites so not sure if they have posted something there. It’s been three days of what seems like complete radio silence.
Also, why is this version 6.4.0 (which obviously doesn’t work for anyone without iOS 9.3 it seems?) still on the App Store. Can they not put up the previous version so at least we can play something.
Very disappointing. You would imagine that a few players will quit if this goes on much longer.
@wingmanjuan (sorry you’re the only rovio representative I can see here)
@foley200 I have seen no other response on social media other than the cheerful “we’re working on it! We hope to have it fixed real soon”
@swelld well that’s very poor in my opinion. To be offline for this amount of time with no explanation is hard to believe. Guess I’ll go try and become a Pokemon master?
I’m going back to candy crush soda
@birdleader – do you have any “inside scoop” or feedback from anyone at Rovio? :(
Unfortunately, I do not, but I can follow up with them on Monday. I doubt anyone will answer over the weekend.
@birdleader – Thanks for your prompt reply…much appreciated ;-)
Thanks BirdLeader for following up for us. I hope for good news, or any news Monday
@birdleader
Any word? I mailed Rovio myself last week and got no reply. Nothing up on their support page either to indicate there’s even an issue. Looks to me like they are not too interested. I’m no programmer but it doesn’t seem like it should take a week to fix? Seasons probably isn’t a big money spinner in the grand scheme anyway. A sad way to kill it though.
@foley200 @mspat @lesleyg @admins I’m told there will be a hotfix out this week. Stay tuned.
@birdleader
Thanks boss. At least someone’s on the ball.
Yes @birdleader they posted on Twitter about 12 hours ago that they found the issue and would have a hotfix soon
Yes! Thank you @birdleader – Much appreciated :D
Very much appreciated birdleader. At least the new friends came out today so I have something new to play.
My iPad is iOS 9.35 and AB Seasons crashes. My husband’s Seasons didn’t auto update so he can still play, although of course no new levels except Pig Challenge. But the crash didn’t stop the notification that my PIg Challenge egg, which of course I was able to do only one day this week before the bad update, was ready to open. Got my hopes up for a second, but then it just crashed per usual.
It says there are 60 comments and yet I can’t get to, or see, the comments. Much like I can’t get to, or see, the new update and can’t get to the weekly Pig Challenge because of the crashing issue. Bummer.
The real thing that sucks is that Seasons has become my favorite Rovio game. More new content than the others, and true to the original AB design and gameplay. I have few hopes this will be resolved over the weekend.
I’s my favorite too There and I am so done with this mess. This is unacceptable and it is souring me on the franchise. I have been playing since the launch of the franchise and have all the variations, it’s so disappointing. The least they can do is keep us informed.
Both my iPhone and iPad are running iOS 10.0.1 and weirdly, Seasons works fine on the iPad but crashes on the phone.
I am just the opposite mcc. Works on the phone but does on the iPad air. I don’t like to play on the phone so I am patiently waiting for the “fix”
It doesn’t crash for me. Using BlueStacks to play it. And it has a minor glitch. If you use free sling scope power-up, the first bird will roll over if the surface is crooked.
Also, something happen in Lvl 2-26, where the tower of rocks collapsed over a cage of its own.
I did not reinstall on my iPad because I’m not logged in via Facebook and did not want to lose progress. Out of curiosity, I deleted and did a fresh install on my iphone and sure enough, Piggywood part 2 is playable, but all progress, scores and coins are zeroed out.
Seasons update in google play store. Game does not crash for me anymore
Anything for appstore…
How does it take a week to fix a bug? I mean seriously!
I think a week is actually pretty good given the process one has to go through. Find the bug, fix the bug, test the fix, submit to Apple, verified by Apple, approved by Apple, and finally released by Apple.
No loss of progress or coins/power ups? We’re you logged into FB prior to the failed update?
No updates for iPad that I can see as of yet… arghhh.
I’m sure it won’t be long now. Meantime, I’ll play Friends, and that should keep me occupied. For a while anyway!
UPDATE IS IN APP STORE!
iOS update is in AppStore- installed and working on iPad!
I’m not seeing the update in AppStore. 10:25pm E.S.T.
Same thing here @there4im . I have update on my IPhone running iOS 9.3.5 but not on iPad Air running on iOS 8.1.1. What system do you have? Also does anyone else have similar problem?
I’m running on the latest iOS update. 10.0.2
iPad Air 2 with HD version and iPhone 6s. Both running iOS 10.0.2. Sounds like they only released the phone version on AppStore. Still waiting on HD version.
@there4im Exactly. And the scores don’t cross over between HD and non HD. I use my iPad and haven’t kept up with my iPhone version. I won’t play til HD fix comes. phooey!
