Crashes, "Add Funds" Currently Down

[CJ54]

Hey all,

As you may have noticed if you were playing last night, the games were experiencing outages that caused games to force-close on start-up. We moved to fix this the moment it was discovered, and found that a change Apple had made on their end was interacting badly with our games. We have a work-around in place and right now everyone should be able to log on normally.

EDIT: The Add Funds Page should now be back up and working for all games, and the crashes should have ceased. If you continue to encounter any issues of this sort (crashes when running out of energy, problems with the store), please let us know in this thread or through the in-game contact.

Hey all,

We have a work-around in place and right now everyone should be able to log on normally, but the Add Funds page is currently down. We will have that back up as soon as possible.

You might still experience crashes while running out of energy, trying to purchase stamina or energy refills, or a few other actions that aren't normally crash-prone. This will be addressed as soon as possible as well, and we apologize for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Finally we can blame an Apple
Always wanted to do that

So no events until this issue is fixed ?

Good question luke

Makes sense. They want people to open boxes and reset timers using gold, and if the option to buy is unavailable I don't see them starting an event until they can make profit from it.

My question would be about the scratchers. If people spend whatever gold they already have on scratchers thinking that if they get melee 4x they win the grand prize, will those people be refunded the gold spent on something that is falsely advertised? Because having the items in the wrong spot like that is, technically, false advertising.

Or are gold purchases disabled entirely until the issue is solved?

Man, you already know the answer to your question

[Luke 3457]

Yes that was my thinking just looking for confirmation

[Dangerous Greg]

I don't know if it is true for all but my "Add Funds" came up after I restarted the game.

[CJ54]

Updated with current info.

[QPR]

Updated with current info.

Cheers CJ

Can you confirm whether a new event is coming up this week??

[Luke 3457]

Cool thanks!

still lots of bugs since the update on HD version, loot drops as bags again instead of item, "new" red splash icon is missing from goals list for new goals, about half the time I try to do a goal if I dont have enough energy it boots me from the game instead of displaying the "need more energy" splash screen.
EDIT. and in the event the number of teller machines is missing, it is there in the standard def version.

I would like to hear the answer to this because I did it and got 4x melee item did not get the grand prize as advertised and spent 360 gold in the process, I want the grand prize as advertised not the gold back. I have not sent in a ticket for this issue, should I CJ ?

I agree...I just got the same...not the item I though I would get

So what you and Johnny are saying is that the falsely advertised scratcher items motivated you to purchase scratchers, and upon discovery that the prizes are not as the same as advertised you are disappointed with the outcome?

Even players who do not get the 4x melee item should be refunded as there is a good chance they spent gold as a result of the false advertisement. Players who received the "correct" 4x melee item should be awarded the item that is advertised, and refunded their gold for the trouble.

False advertising is not cool!
