Thanks @steph1112. Mine started working again as well, but all my old scores are gone. Just dint have the heart to restart after 1000’s of hours to get my prior scores again. Are your old scores retained?

[CaptREC]

@tiffin, I was hoping the upgrade to 14.6 might help, but still doesn’t work for me. Though I know some ABN friends for whom it does work. Is it a country iOS version thing? I’m in the US.

[CaptREC]

Thanks @sweetp. Yes, that’s what I was referring to

[CaptREC]

Thanks @sweetp for the option. I think I would cry if I lost all my progress. Would game center repopulate my scores?

and @bernersenn, I’ve updated to 14.5.1 and sadly still no go for Season, Space, and ABSW1/2

[CaptREC]

Thanks @sweetp, @bernersenn, @kathy, @karen68, and @mg516.
I think there is a way to revert. I think I have a backup that might work. But as mentioned, would that mess up other apps? And, Apple pushes out apps that often have important security updates. I’ve been pretty careful in that regard and want to stay safe. So I guess bottom line is that those games are now dead to me. And it’s particularly sad since I was in the top 100 worldwide in them all. Guess it’s time to move on.
thanks again all! ABN is the best.

[CaptREC]

Yup, noticed that too. Sad. You know, I would have gladly paid an annual fee of $5 for the enjoyment of continuing to play. Rovio gets money. I get my beloved ABS. Win-win.

[CaptREC]

Dang it – it will NOT work on iOS 14.5

[CaptREC]

@mighty-red-1 you are a legend, and helped me many times with your comments. Like you, I’m sad that the AB experience is not what it used to be. I’m still flinging, but wonder for how much longer. Take care!

[CaptREC]

@hunnybunny and @karen68 check out Trick or Treat 2-8. Just got 13k above average in about 10 minutes effort. And nothing fancy, just brute force, likely due to better blasting bombs. Used 3 birds.

[CaptREC]

Either my flinging finger is failing me, or @kathy, I agree.

[CaptREC]

@hunnybunny, Fairy Hogmother 1-1 seems much harder. See comments in the episode. Others have found the same.

[CaptREC]

@hunnybunny Thought I’d just put here what we all learned today about Ski & Squeal 1-7.  Def harder!

[CaptREC]

@hunnybunny and @karen68, sadly looks like WW 1-16 got harder!

[CaptREC]

@hunnybunny SG 1-7 is easier for me. Raised my score 4K and now above average with no Santa glitch. Another level where the bombs seem to give higher scores.

[CaptREC]

@hunnybunny, you noted that @bernersenn said most of PD levels 1 and 2 were easier. Let me give a specific example. Pig Days 2-8 has been good to me today. Added 7k points. Coins in the balloon seem much more explosive than before.

[CaptREC]

Dang it. Read the thread wrong. Credit where credit is definitely due @hunnybunny!

[CaptREC]

Thanks @karen68 for plodding through! Just upped my score by 15k on HD 1-12.
And yes, weird and wonderful bounces!

[CaptREC]

@gazzer I’ve had the same issue. I’ve been thinking that I should get someone who I could swap presents with on FB. That could be you. The only thing I’m wondering is, does FB post something every time I give a gift? I don’t want my feed cluttered with a bunch of posts.

[CaptREC]

Count me as frustrated and about to quit AB2.
I got an email saying one of my top scores was beaten, by about a factor of 3!!
I figured it must have been some cheat mode, but no. An inexplicable change in the scoring system that has made all of my old scores moot.
No way do I want to repeat all of those levels, though that seems to be the intent.
AB2 has felt way more mercenary than usual on Rovio’s part.

[CaptREC]

@knichy, heh! Was thinking the same thing.;-)

[CaptREC]

Thanks!

[CaptREC]

Oops! Sorry I was confused. My actual birthday is 01-08
Thanks @e-star!

[CaptREC]

Thanks, @e-star. I was thinking, you did mean the day I joined the nest? Or my actual birthday?

[CaptREC]

12-16

[CaptREC]

I’m with you @magsy79. Enjoying the extra feathers, but it doesn’t seem sporting. I do get five lives though. I’m on an iPad in case that helps.
