You can still play online multiplayer in old versions

Home Forums Angry Birds GO! Forum You can still play online multiplayer in old versions

  • Hello everyone.
    This time I will talk about something really cool, I hope you like it!

    Do you remeber the online multiplayer? It was added in July 2014 with the version 1.4.0. It was a cool game mode where you could compete with other players to get Golden Eggs and trophies; sadly it was removed in March 2016, with the update 1.13.7.

    Some months later a big update was released, in June 2016, the version 2.0.
    There’s a lot of people (including me) that doesn’t like Angry Birds Go! anymore since it got updated to v2.0; with that update the game was drastically changed, a lot of people disliked this update, but the most important change was that once your game was updated, you lost all your progress, karts and unlocked characters.
    The reason is obvious, the game mechanics where totally changed so you must start from zero, that was really frustrating for a lot of people, including myself.

    But, did you know there’s a way to play the old Angry Birds Go! and recover your old progress? You can even play online multiplayer again, and without loosing any of your current progress!

    IMPORTANT: If you want to try this, first read the following:

    – To install old versions of the game you should uninstall your current version first, this is to prevent data corruption; don’t forget to save your progress with your Rovio Account before uninstalling!
    There’s a method to install other versions of the same app without having to delete your updated one, you can follow this tutorial.

    Choose which version you want to get (Android only):

    The last version which had online multiplayer is the 1.12.0, you can download it here.

    If you don’t care about online multiplayer and you only want the classic game experience, you can get the latest version before 2.0, the 1.13.9 here.

    After you got your game installed:
    If you had progress saved on a Rovio Account before v2.0 once you sign in into the account, you’ll get all that progress back, without loosing your actual progress.

    With old versions you can still use all the online features.

    Here are some screenshots of how all the features that were discontinued a long time ago are still working in old versions.

    @raizir I don’t know why this is a thing but I hope Rovio never knows about it.

    1. They DO check these forums, so there a chance they noticed this thread.

    2. What COULD they do about it, anyways? Its not like they can mingle with an update that they have gone past… ESPECIALLY after one update that severally changed the game.

    @raizir Oh really? Well that’s interesting!

    They could do something though, like shutting down the servers responsible for the multiplayer, weekly tournaments and the rest of removed functions.

    I can’t play this trash again. The mew version made me hate GO!

    @quickgaming Same here. Fortunately you can get back to the good old days of the game by getting one of those old versions.

    My telepods won’t work on 1.12.0

    @joseantonio

    @daabnoob No problem! I’m glad my post helped you.

    @joseantonio

    @daabnoob What kind of problem do you have with your Telepods?

    I installed AB Go! 1.8.7. Well, I have all my old progress before the 2.0 update but unfortunately I am unable to access the multiplayer, when I press the multiplayer button the screen just shakes and then immediately returns me to the main menu :(

    @joseantonio

    @corporaldaesn Hmm that’s strange, I remember something like that happened to me as well but after a few tries it worked. I don’t have the game right now so I can’t try it myself; I hope multiplayer didn’t get shut down.

    Another thing is it has no verification checks, so a player could use a/multiple modified file(s)/a modified game library without causing forced DC’s.

    Primary device:

     

    Secondary device:

    So something like that can happen. Character textures are not replaced by Red as that was a LMP test with the Dealer Pig character, head to the modding area to learn more. The links to old versions don’t work anymore…

    I think the online servers are dead so rip online play, hopefully someone can replicate the online server to use it to bring back online multiplayer.

    I think almost all of the online features don’t work, as almost all of the APK’s that are newer than 1.0.0 don’t open properly without making you update. Even with the 1.0.0 APK it works on the first time you play it, but every time after you close it and reopen it, it crashes, making it become unplayable.

    Basically we’re stuck with v2.0 unless I missed something

    You need to turn off auto-update apps on the Play Store. You need to turn that off so it doesn’t just take you to 2.0.
