On this list it states that the Bright Side of the Moon glitch has been fixed. I have all updates to Angry Birds Seasons, but I’m still experiencing that glitch. Additionally, I can’t access the 3 star completion level even though I have 99/99 stars and all 8 pieces of cake in Mooncake Festival.

To attain the achievement, earn 3-stars again on the following 3 levels: 1-15, 2-1, and 2-15. In the most recent cases, 2-1 seems to be the solution, but we have heard the other 2 working as well.

2-1 worked for getting the achievement, thanks! I still can’t get into the 3 star completion level though, and I do have the achievement for 3 stars, so I’m not sure why that’s not working.

Having problem with Seasons Moon Festival level 11 on I-Phone. Basically, level won’t load just says “loading” and goes no further. Tried resynching phone and rebooting, which initialy cears it but then same error occurs.

Not sure why there would be a loading issue with 1 specific level in a 30-level pack. Have you cleared the multitasking bar (if you’re using a new-gen device)?

On iPhone 4s seasons 2011 achievements do not seem to work. Specifically the ones for finishing the pignick episode and the moon festival. All 2012 achievements work.

I have a bug of sorts: after today’s update to ABo, the birdday level star count is incorrect, ie it does not match the number of stars I actually had. It was ok until I used the ME, and now it is readIng an extra star. It did register three stars extra initially, so I tried closing and restarting, but the problem is still there.

No? Its weird, because its reading as 43/45 stars, and yet I haven’t completed 18-15 at all yet, although I have got the secret achievement, and currently 8 feathers

Ah, so it’s counting your “Eagle pass” as 1 star. I’m sure it will correct itself once you pass the level regularly.

not sure if this is where i post this, but feel free to move or remove it if necessary. birdday party level 18-3 there are two cakes on top of the structure. pink cake gives 3k brown cake pops up with the 3k sign but only gives 1k in score. tried it now a half dozen times and same result every time. this is as far as i am in the new release so i can’t say whether or not other levels have the same issue.

On ABo 18-6 the “New Highscore!” screen said my score was 102,219. (I took a picture.) Going back to the level the score is 102,220. No such luck but I was hoping they glitch-counted it as 1,022,190. :)

I found a bug in the free version of ABo! If you 3 star the 3rd level then you will get the theme VII conquer achivment! I know this is a bug because I had 1 star and 2 stared the other 2 levels.

The latest Rio update for PC, has caused the stars that appear, i.e: above say xx/45, seems to be missing, not a big deal though.

The emoticons? Disabled for the time being (perhaps forever). BirdLeader has spent the last 2 or 3 weeks trying to optimize the speed of the site, so emoticons were one aspect that bit the dust.

Is it my OS or a bug??

Very strange. Ham’O’Ween version (2012) – i got 3 stars in all levels earlier but now it showed “unlocked” (i.e. not yet played) at all levels. But my score and ranking remain unchanged …. Then I had to re-play each level, does not matter how many points i got, it’d show the 3-star again for that particular level ….. it means that I need to re-play all 30 levels …..

I am using iPhone 3GS and i believe i am on 4.1 OS. Can someone advise here what is going on? thanks.

Happens if your settings file becomes corrupted. You may want to check your other episodes; the same thing likely happened.

thanks but why would that happen?? oh no!!!!!!! you are right … it took place in most of the episodes for AB Seasons ….. :-(

though i checked AB Traditional and AB Rio, they are all ok :-)

any way i could fix it?? how?? thanks.

ABo and Rio are separate apps, and have separate settings files. Going through the episodes (just like you did in Ham’o’ween) will suffice, and it will keep all your other settings intact as well.

Same thing has happened to me (!!!) only the advent episodes are unlocked, all other episodes are locked with achievements, stars, scores and feathers in tact. So you think it’s safe to play the levels and the high scores for each level will stay?? Not aure what happened to my “settings file” and how to avoid it in future??

Reply
Rank: Sling God with 32120 points
By AMslimfordy (@amslimfordy)

Yes, all your highscores and feathers are stored in your highscores.lua file. Levels being locked/unlocked is a settings.lua matter.

IPhone 4 with iOS 5.1, Seasons only, non-advent levels effected only.
I’ve not changed anything in my phone that I can remember but recall the eagle eye required to purchase again (although did not charge) not sure if it was because of this or not as I’ve not loaded other levels for a while… Unlocked cake in hamoween for example and unlocked each episode with the eagle but no three star level, unlocked completed achievement and 3-starred a few levels but this didn’t kick anything into gear to unlock the 3 star level. Facebook levels were unlocked by connecting to Facebook again.

I am also having this problem. iPad 1, and I had trouble starting a few days ago when I tried to play Seasons. I ended re-loading the app, losing all my high scores in the process. Then an update came out, which seemed to fix it until last night, when it started spontaneously closing again. ARGH.

iPad 1 is a known issue. Rovio is working on a fix.

At the same time, if it was running fine, restarting your device will likely clear up enough RAM for the app to run properly.

I think I may have found the problem to the crashing of Angry Birds 2.00 upgrade:
Oh, BTW, there are many folks on several forums complaining about the 2.00 version upgrade.

But here’s a solution I came upon just through “guess work” and brainstorming. When in “full screen” mode is when it crashes. I switched to “window mode” and Ta Ta!!!!! no more problems!! I didn’t test every game but tested several and kept firing the birds and hey, the problem has been eliminated. You could pass this on to folks if there have been any other individuals complaining. Just make this suggestion to them, don’t use full screen but switch to window mode. Concerning the PC only but could resolve other formats too.
Hardware: 24″ Acer monitor. AB is set at 1024 x 600. This info is in the config file. I set the full screen = false so it doesn’t go into full screen on its own.

Hope this helps,

Thanks again and Happy New Year!!
