Early in the week, people were scoring in the 140K to 170K range and now the optimal score is <120K. What happened? The walk through shows over 170K with power ups.

Angry Birds Friends is broken! I play on an iPhone 5s and a 3rd gen iPad.
“Client outdated” message appeared mid-week and iPhone updated OK, but iPad refuses to do so, using 3G or wifi…NOW, the iPhone doesn’t proceed from level 1 to level 2. GRRR!

rec’d notification last week for an up date on kindle fire. once completed friends will load and open to mainscreen. once play button is pushed game goes to level screen and exits. transferred through facebook to different device and it plays ok. returned kindle fire to factory presets wiped out all info, reloaded game, and it still exits from level screen. operates fine on power up practice and toons.tv and will allow to connect to facebook. any ideas? or is it my device?

I was playing in the Friends Tournament and an update came on and I had to download it or I couldn’t continue playing. Now my iPad is frozen when I try to play in the tournament. This is extremely frustrating to me. How can I fix this? I can’t play in the tournament and I have slowly working up through the levels.

Lynette,

There are a couple of things you can try to fix that:
1- Make sure you are connected to the internet.
2- Clear your multi task bar, and restart your device.

In the latest version of Angry Birds Transformers, I was in the pumpkin-smashing competition. I was in first with 1767 pumpkins, followed by someone with 1502, followed by someone with 910. I checked about a minute before the contest ended. When the awards were distributed, I received only 10,000 coins, implying that I was not even in third. However, that was very unlikely, since gained 800 pumpkins in a minute is not really possible. I suspect it was a bug.

Argh. Angry Birds Friends shuts off my playing podcasts every single time I open it. And sometimes in the middle of playing lately. So frustrating. It’s a glitch that Seasons seems to have fixed, but this has just gotten worse for Friends.

@cconley777 There is a simple fix to this, read more about it here: https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/angry-birds-seasons-the-pig-days-level-5-6-walkthrough/

The issue is likely a corrupt file.

On LG G3 free version of Angry Birds Original Episode 9: Red’s Mighty Feathers

In level 14 of Egg Defender, there are 5 pigs that need to be defeated. After beating the 3rd pig, there is a brief period and then the 4th pig greys your chance for getting the second star in the level which then makes three stars unattainable. Can not zoom in or out, there is just no pig.

Angry Birds 2 is freezing on the log-in page (Android phone) after I got an update this morning. Can’t get into the game at all. Have to force-close the phone to get off the log-in page. Have cleared cache, moved the app to SD card and nothing is helping.

Hi Beth, I was having a similar problem and my resolution may fix this for you too. The short answer is that installing the new release fixed it. I answered in more detail here. Happy flinging.

Concerning losing scores within Seasons

Last week, week of 10 November, Rovio released a new Pig Days level. I had trouble to open the game. All the other games showed clouds, to play these levels, the games had to be downloaded again from the cloud.
After doing this, lots of scores in my Seasons history where gone.

**************************************************************
Followed the instructions as written down in the latest walkthroughs:

Does your Game suddenly crash or quit?
If your app crashes or quits when opening a new level, there is a fix! This is caused by a corrupt file.

Go to the Main Menu of Angry Birds Seasons
Click the cogwheel from bottom left to open Settings
Tap on the cloud with the X on it. That will remove the cloud content from your device (not the scores).
Go back to the Episode selection screen, and tap on the cloud that is over The Pig Days to download the levels again.

Note: Contact Rovio Support directly if the above steps do not solve the problem.

********************************************************
So, the problem still exist, so I wrote this email to Rovio.

Hi there,
There were 2 moments in recent time that we had to download the Seasons games from the Cloud. The first time was a few weeks ago. I didn’t pay attention to the scores of my older games at that moment.
This week, we couldn’t again open the new Pig Days level (on your homepage you did describe a solutions for that). I followed these instructions and unchecked the cloud function.
Then, when I looked at my older scores I can see that I got three stars on all the levels, including the feathers. But, when I open the games, a lot of them are displaying 0 as score.
I do have a backup of 2 weeks ago, don’t know if I will ruin all my recent scores.
to be specific, the scores are gone for these five episodes:
– trick or treat
– seasons greedings
– go green get lucky
– moon festival
– year of the dragon

scores that have been untouched:
– hogs and kisses
– easter eggs
– summer pignic
– ham’o’ween
– wreck the halls
– cherry blossom
– piglantis
– back to school
– haunted dogs
– winter wonterham
– abra-ca-bacon
– arctic eggspedition
– south hamerica
– ham dunk
– on finn ice
– ham dunk all star
– tropigal paradise
– ham dunkL the finals
– invasion of the egg snatchers
– pig days

Device: Ipad Air II
OS: IOS 9.1

**********************************************************
The answer from Rovio came a week later:

Essi, Nov 17, 06:42:
Hello there,

and thanks for contacting us!

I’m very sorry to hear Angry Birds Seasons is causing trouble. Since Angry Birds Seasons doesn’t have a Rovio Account feature yet, the game progress is only saved locally on the device’s memory. Thus, if you re-install the game, the game progress will be wiped out, too. I understood you had taken manual backups of your game progress and restored them earlier. It now sounds like the backed-up game progress is somehow corrupted. Unfortunately the only way to fix this issue is to completely re-install the game. This would mean that you would unfortunately have to start the game again from scratch, since restoring the old backup would only bring the corrupted progress back. I realize this is not an ideal solution, but unfortunately we don’t have any other means to fix the issue.

I’m very sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Essi
Rovio Support Team

*******************

My conclusion for this: replay the games where the scores are gone, one by one. Reinstalling isn’t the way to go, in that case the entire history is gone.

I can’t load older episodes marked Open. It only loads them right after they are first opened. What needs to be done?

Since the newest Christmas update on angry birds epic on December 14 has broke Matilda Druid class. Instead of healing the target bird a large amount and the rest a small amount it is healing all birds the small amount. I also know that it’s not just my bird becaue on arena I seen another Matilda do the same thing when they healed thier birds. If it isn’t a big with the game is there anything I can do to fix it?

Same here, Matilda’s Druid is broken – only heals low amount to everyone :/

Why is an update for Angry Birds Seasons being advertised on my Kindle, but is not available to update to my device? I keep getting the old version without the newest levels. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled twice.
