From Facebook page Angry Birds 2’s post in the group Angry Birds 2 Gamers on Facebook:

UPDATE:
The game has been put into maintenance mode while we work on solving the related issues. I do not currently have an ETA for when the maintenance will be over but I’ll update you all once I know more 🙂

Hey everyone! 😃
Just popping in here to let our Windows 10 players know that we are fully aware of the Facebook-log-in issue and we are looking for a solution!

I’ll update you all once I know anything more 🙂

It’s still down because they’re investigating a FB login issue. All players of the W10 game were disconnected from FB lately. Hatchling, Apples, Piggy Mail, Clans and Bootcamp are all inaccessible during the maintenance. We all do.

[Wil-D]

The Win10 game is particularly standalone and still too far outdated. Who cares about it? Birdbrained, I’d inform you that the vast majority of advertised clans in this thread are mainly in mobile. Rovio often update the game in mobile.

[Wil-D]

AB2 could be the end of the road for the W10 platform. The third party iLogos actually made this version and partnered with Rovio. See their June 7 post on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/iLogosEurope/posts/4048252935257350/

Unfortunately they really can’t update this version due to their potential inability to include the new Arena (first introduced in v.2.48) and other events in it. Also I don’t ever hear from them after having contacted them on Facebook. Time to move on.

[Wil-D]

Note to clan recruiters: The Win10 and mobile (iOS/Android) versions of AB2 are two completely different games that use different servers, respectively. Recruited clans, like Killer Rabbits, having been posted here are only available in AB2 v.2.58 (current v. no.) from Google Play Store (Android) and App Store (iOS and iPadOS).

EDIT: Also, on Amazon Appstore (Amazon Fire products running Android).

[Wil-D]

I suggest you search group for “Angry Birds 2 Gamers” on Facebook and join. People in that group will assist you on this issue.

We are clan Active. Currently 29th of the clans. We have 23 dedicated people and are looking for a few more who want to do the CVC battles. We usually win. However we just lost one due to non active players. Non active players are removed from our clan.

People who are active and do the clan battles collect a legendary chest, and 7,500 feathers every time we win. This can go a long ways to increasing your flock points and thus overall flock power.

If you want to make your flock more powerful, and be able to finish the daily challenge more easily, and are willing to do each and every clan battle that we do, which is about 1 every 3 days, then consider joining this clan.

If all you want to do is park your bird and collect the daily gifts, this will not be the clan for you.

Dear AB2-players,

I am the founder and leader of a small, but very enthusiastic Hungarian clan, and I am looking for new, active members.
Most of my clan mates are Hungarian, but we also have some foreign members.
We are playing on Windows platform!
Our name is Zabos csibék, our clan id is #9263.
Participation in the CvC is mandatory in our clan, but no pressure on side events, it’s enough for members to bring 1 point, so no need to spend gems.

We speak English and German – and of course Hungarian. :-D

Feel free to join us!

Thanks for your attention!

If such clans were only created in the W10 version, they’re only available in that version. Don’t even bother to find them in AB2 on the mobile platforms as no such clans exist in there.

From @alabamatick at https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forums/topic/has-rovio-abandoned-ab2/

My pc version suddenly started working again today, no crashes at all, even offered videos for extra stuff, all of which played fine

it’s the same every month, the first 2-3 weeks, it doesn’t offer videos and crashes every 20-30 seconds, either to desk or total freeze needing a reset

although it works fine in offline mode but not while connected to the internet

The opening post in this thread is about the windows version, so this is the right place

my point is that rovio has more than likely stopped work on this version as i first downloaded it in, i think feburary and there have been no updates, afair

and all the crashes i’m reporting are from it being blind luck if the game works after a windows update or not, however the game always works fine while the pc is not connected to the internet, so obviously rovio are not keeping thier netcode up to date and hoping the next windows update fixes the problem

that’s if they are aware, (or care) about the problem

[Wil-D]

See the article “What are the birds’ special abilities?” at the AB2 support website:
https://angrybirds2.rovio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000510347-What-are-the-birds-special-abilities-

[Wil-D]

With Windows 11 coming soon will the windows version be removed and that is why Rovio hasn’t upgraded the Windows version? If you can open Android apps on a Windows device this is plausible. I hope not. I enjoy the older version much more then the new version. Also would hate to lose everything I have accomplished in the Windows version unless there is a way to transfer gems, etc to the newer version?

I think the game for Windows 10 will still remain in the Microsoft Store upon the launch of Windows 11. This version of the game and the mobile version (first released in mid 2015) are 2 completely different games; unfortunately you can’t transfer your AB2 progress from Windows to mobile and vice versa, even if you’ve connected both versions to your unique Facebook account.

[Wil-D]

Like I said, AB2 was released for both mobile OS’s in mid 2015. Also, there’s an update to v.2.57 as of today, see https://www.facebook.com/AB2GamersPage/posts/2970053863282569

If you play AB2 on Android, that update is available as well.

[Wil-D]

And have you actually read that post, other than the title >

I already did read the first post of this thread.

The first sentence is clearly asking about the apparent abandonment of the windows 10 platform, the only meantion of any other platform is the meantion of apple ios, (in the past tense) and nowhere in that post does it meantion android.

Well atm there is an apple hunt event on the windows version, wether this is deliberate or procedral generation is up for debate.

Rovio and AB2 don’t even talk about the W10 version of the game anymore. That version is far outdated than the mobile version of the game for iOS and Android.

If you would like to see updates of AB2, visit the game’s page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/angrybirds2

If the event you cited is actually Jetpack Run, it’s merely a repeated theme of the event in the Windows version, and it hasn’t re-appeared on the mobile version of AB2 since July 2020. It’s not discontinued.

[Wil-D]

I started playing AB2 shortly after the release in summer 2015, so I know alot about it. I don’t work for Rovio, but I’m just a member like everyone else within this forum. Though AB2 is free to play, Rovio just wanna demand more money from people like us. Your statement is purely your opinion; it’s your decision.

[Wil-D]

@birdbrained
Furthermore, the mobile version of AB2 has been for 6 years. If it still does receive periodic updates, it’s very unlikely Rovio will intentionally abandon the game. I think you should quit it if you’re really dissatisfied. The same game for the Windows 10 platform is just a port of the mobile version of AB2 (the only exclusive functions are a cursor and a power button). Time to move on.

[Wil-D]

Avoid playing AB2 on any Samsung Tab A device at all costs. Their performance isn’t that great than other devices that uses more powerful processors.

If you match with a Rovio system generated opponent (not a real player) in the Arena, their scores are manipulated instead of based on how much destruction they’ve done. People call the opponent a bot because they’re not a pre-recording of their play in the same stage. Typically, bot opponents have the original (level 1) sling and no Hatching. They always use Rovio randomly generated names.

Will you consider yourself quitting AB2 because you’re unhappy with it?

You’re not alone. Hundreds of thousands of people are still playing the mobile version of AB2. I still don’t think Rovio have abandoned them and the game. And if you use Facebook, I suggest you join the group “Angry Birds 2 Gamers” there.

@alabamatick

Birdbrained created this thread called “Has Rovio abandoned AB2?”. This is clearly not just about the Windows version. He clearly asked whether or not AB2 is abandoned by Rovio. Let’s clear the misunderstanding of this topic. Basically, Rovio are usually focusing on mobile gaming. That is why AB2 gets updated periodically for both of the major mobile operating systems (iOS and Android). Birdbrained’s mobile version of AB2 also still has had problems.

Why don’t you post your compliant in the thread “Issues in Windows version” as well? Yes, the W10 app of AB2 hasn’t been updated since February. The only change in July was the allocation of Clan Battle egg points based on scores for a leaderboard.

The last update of the mobile version of AB2 was on Aug 25. The game’s current version no. is 2.56.1.

[Wil-D]

The “buy a 30 day letter” is not an issue. We already know of it. Always like that even if you don’t buy. Regarding all other issues, bugs in AB2 may vary for some devices but not all. Recently there are alot of negative reviews of this game at the Google Play Store.

Corrections: added “of this game” in context; full stop

[Wil-D]

The Galaxy Tab A 10-inch device isn’t good for performance of AB2. Maybe that device and its screen are both problematic. I suggest you get a mid-tier or high-end smartphone or an iPad.

As for the game, you don’t have to complete every quest every day. The gem letter is optional, you don’t have to buy it either. If video ads aren’t working in AB2, use a different mobile device and download the game.

[Wil-D]

You need a better Android device then. By the way, many people advertise their clans at the thread “Clan Recruitment Thread”, but most of them mainly play mobile version of AB2, including the Android version.

Clan Recruitment Thread

Don’t worry about the issues of the mobile version of AB2. The game is regularly updated for both Android and iOS. Have you attempted to contact AB2 support within the Android app “Angry Birds 2”?

[Wil-D]

There has been still no update for the W10 app “Angry Birds 2” for 7 months.

[Wil-D]

If that’s just for Windows version of the game, post it at another thread “Issues in Windows version” next time; see below:

Issues in Windows version

[Wil-D]

The kind of stuff in these videos will never exist in their games. We see a certain AD video of Royal Match when we tap to watch an AD video for a free item within any other Rovio game, not just AB Friends.

The current Clan Battle is part of the “Pick Your Flock!” event. During this event you must select any 7 birds to play the CB level.

I think a screen replacement for the Samsung Tab A 10.1 is a factor. Don’t trust a third-party dealer for a repair.

BTW did you play the most recent Clan Battle?
