…..but thanks for your response and trying to be helpful, OpPig. That’s more than Rovio has done, and it is appreciated.

I have more than likely used every combination possible, as I keep every part container from filling, so I don’t just get 50 coins for the overage in node play. Futile, when you get the same “trick” (certainly not a treat) over and over. I could add insult to injury by spending gems to change the outcome, but am too stubborn, I guess. As gems are a retail item, I’d just be feeding the monster.

Additional note: If you receive message that game “needs to restart”…just shut it down and go do something else. It’s gonna end in frustration.

It’s just such a shame. Game is so much fun, addicting even….until Rovio “improves” it. Taking money for in-app purchases is designed to enhance game play…no way that can happen in a completely unpredictable and unstable app.

Rolling trainwreck. Over 300 pumpkins acquired not posted to leader board. Launched missions evaporate. Have unlocked Fireblast and 3-Force no less than 10 times each, still offered in almost every attempt at lab. Have reported each to [email protected] and [email protected]….I receive an email with link to incident # ….follow the link and receive “oops, page does not exist.”

Stunning rate of failure. Guess that’s payback for being stupid enough to actually spend money on in-app purchases. Never again….not on Rovio.

Well, where’s the fun in THAT? :( I WAS gonna continue complaining that the game just notified me that it “needed to restart,” it did, and now it’s not adding my pumpkins to the leader board count. I lost 10 pumpkins. But winning and the prize is bupkis? That’s just wrong.

Love this game, but the CONSTANT glitches and failures almost make it not worth it. Sorry you got bagged on the win.

Without knowing node difficulty, how will I know if I want to change my teammate or “boost my buddy?” Kinda kills any use of node strategy.

Also, I keep unlocking two of the do-dad’s in the lab (fireblast and one other)….they’ve been unlocked about 10 times each, so I get nothing for my investment of three silo things. Is this by design?

In other news: I came in first place in Halloween Competition yesterday and won 400 gems!

Airplane mode does allow game to load successfully…at least I was able to collect coins and (hopefully) restart that count.

One of the reviews on Play Store: “Everyone complaining should get a better phone” Really? Galaxy Note 4 not good enough?

Stunning rate of failure, Rovio.

Had the same experience until I updated Google Play and Google Chrome. I have “auto update” turned off on everything, don’t even use Chrome, but once I updated, crashing stopped. Minor lag issues only at this point.

There’s gonna be more than a boycott if they keep pushing the “Mortal Kombat” ad in a game rated “e” for everyone. It’s horrifying.

Follow up: After moving game to SD card and updating “Play Store” and “Google Chrome” (which I do not use) last night, game play SIGNIFICANTLY improved. Has not crashed, only lagged a couple times.

So….although they still owe me 10 gems, it may not be a Rovio problem. Please pass the salt, my crow is a little bland. :)

Logging in to FB (and leaving it that way) seems to do the trick with recovery. Crashed again (game started at zero), but FB login kicked in as soon as I finished the first Optimus tutorial…everything restored, 3 minutes. I took the time to update all apps and test today, no improvement in game performance (just trying to contribute SOMETHING)

Thanks for the link to manual backup, will employ if game not fixed soon.

Again, thanks so much to all for taking the time to respond and share your experiences. :)

After recovering and working back up to level 80, it crashed and started the game at level zero AGAIN. Oy.

[blockcheese]

It worked! …at least I recovered to the point I last connected to FB, (lost 12 levels, 50K coins). I had disconnected attempting to avoid the constant crashing. Better than starting from scratch!

Have noticed that NOT using double coin option (let video play, won’t lie and say “watch” video) eliminates crash problem. Perhaps Rovio should remove that option, until they’re sure it’s fixed.

Thanks so much, guys!!

[blockcheese]

Thanks, Roller, Red. I will try that, as soon as the game stops crashing and restarting the tutorial mode! LOL
I soooo wanna LOVE this game…and I DO realize it is just a game, nobody’s gonna lose a limb…just aggravating, especially with as long as it’s been going on.

Again, thanks for taking the time to help. I will take your advice! Hope it helps others, too.

[blockcheese]

Thanks for the responses. Was connected to Google Play (achievements still listed) and FB. From research on www, it’s more common than not, to lose everything. LOTS of complaints on exact same issue, no one has recovered. I was only level 85 (9K pigs, 100K coins, 47 gems), and as pissed as I am (they KNOW about the issue, yet still accepted in-app purchases), can only imagine how the folks that were at levels 100+ feel. Oh well, live and learn.
