On Google Plus the chrome symbols to unlock the chrome dimensions have disappeared. I got two of them but they aren’t where the walkthroughs say they should be.

Still not working. I know that when I first started playing it I found two and now that I’ve solved all the main levels, none of the chrome symbols are where they should be according to the walk-throughs. Any information on why this would be?

My Achievements will not Load On Original, Space, Rio and Seasons. I will click on the 213 Button on the Bottom Middle of the Screen and I will click the trophy Button too. They will do a loading spin then never load into them. I also Never get any achievements during game play no more either. Why is this? Is this a problem with my iPhone? Or is it a problem with Rovio? I really want to be able to get these and see what I have. I’ve tried to remove and re-download them but it didn’t work. I was thinking about removing them then re-install them on my Phone. All updates are up to date and My phone is up to date too. Help!

The apps would not be causing this. Try restarting your phone and logging into GameCenter manually (NOT through an app, but through GC itself)

I atually figured out if you can redo the things that give you the achievement it will give To you even sO you can’t redo some of the acheivments you can’t do again so I think that it is defiantly a bug hope this helps with a few achievements.

Has anyone noticed a bug for the score addict achievement for Pig Bang? I only scored 1,864,915 and the achievement popped. It popped while I was playing Danger Zone.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Not sure if it’s a bug, or I just haven’t figured out how to turn it off…

Every time I start a level, or restart a level, I get the help dialogs for all the birds on the level. If I pause, it shows the help dialogs for all the remaining birds.

Please tell me there is an option for this?
Playing on Facebook.

The listing is correct. Perhaps you were offline when you obtained the achievement, or perhaps GameCenter hasn’t updated yet. Try playing another level of Cold Cuts and see.

Concerning “Scores Adding 5” bug: this does not happen in every level. For me it happened in about 4 levels. And the total amount is counted with the scores that have 5 point more.

I think the level cleared screen can simply not show any 5 at the end. It shows 0 at the end instead of 5. But the scures with the 5 at the end are the correct ones.

Not sure, I remember a developer saying before the game was released that there should only be scores ending in 0, to keep it the same as the other AB games! Either way, I’m not complaining about a few extra points here and there! :)

But some blocks or whatever have values which have a 5 at the end. Here are two screenshots where you can see that:

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/5734/img2315.png

This makes total scores with a 5 at the end possible.

But if this was a mistake by Rovio and they fix it, do you think we will lose those “extra points”?

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

Im not really sure what the bug is, but the fact that the level completed screen and the highscore listed in-level do not match is what I am considering a bug. If scores can end in 5, that’s fine, I’m OK with that. But the two scores should display the same.

Reply
Rank: Gold Flinger with 9830 points
By Chris (@chriss)

I’m not sure either. Of course it is a bug. I just wanted to say that I think there is not an additional 5 added to the correct score, but a 0 instead of a 5 shown on the level cleared screen. Let’s see how it is fixed in the next update.

I recently bought angry birds space for my iPod (4th Gen) which runs on iOS 5. I have noticed that when you enter a level, it runs fine until you try to use he pause menu. If you do this, the whole game crashes! Does anyone have any tips, or do you know whether or not Rovio are working on a fix?

Hi!
Im having sound issues. All of the AB are mute (actually all of the games i have on my ipad but i only care about AB)
I was hoping to find other people in my situation but all the glitches ive read about in the forums have been fixed by messing with the sound settings which ive tried. All my sound settings are properly ON and it will still not work. I did have the sound when i first downloaded AB/ABS back in september then i muted it to play in public places, but then when i wanted to turn it on again, it wouldnt work anymore. As for ABRio, whcih i have downloaded more recently, and ABSpace, i have simply never heard the sound of it but on your walkthroughs!
Do you have any idea how to fix this?

Reply

Every game on your iPad is muted? I’m pretty sure this is not an issue with the apps. I would restart your device and double-check your sound settings.

Reply
By Eva

Thank you! I figured it out! Altho the mute button was properly off in the settings, there was another mute switch i didnt know about in the task bar appearing after double tapping the home button and this one was for some reason on and muting everything but the ipod app.

I apologize in advane if this issue is already listed, but I didn’t see it. I diseased Angry Birds Space and it worked fine the first time I played it, but when I went to play it again, all I would get is a blank screen. Sometimes the blank screen appeared right off, sometimes after the rovio screen, and sometimes after the title screen.
I installed the game twice and had the same issue both times. I have an LG Optimus V and I installed the game to my sd card.

Honestly, it seems like you are effected by the Achievements Earned Offline bug. Because I can confirm the following work on iPhone and iPad:

Three Hog Night, Birds of Courage, DZ Score Addict, True Space Bird Fan, Space Bird Addict, Name Popper.

Pig Bang’s Score Addict is explained in the bug list (click to see more) and Rovio has been informed of Centripetal Force, and it has its own discussion page.

If you don’t mind, I am going to edit your post to reduce its size. We can see what each achievement means on the achievements page.
