Bugs in the new update.
Initially, the new update was great. However, since the server issues started I have not gotten any of my achievement chests. Three of them. I got the message but the chest didn't make it into my inventory. How do I contact game insight? I don't want to play only to not get the chests. I'd rather wait until it's fixed.

Re: Bugs in the new update.
Are you absolutely sure that the awards for the achievements you unlocked were chests? I completed a bunch last night and for most the rewards were a compass, a tesla coil, a magnet, etc. and they just went to inventory rather than arriving in a chest. That said, I didn't see any problems with the achievements last night although I did have some connectivity issues.CheezerWhizzer wrote:Initially, the new update was great.

The achievements reward you different things based on the level of achievement. You might start with one small item at ribbon one then, move up to foods or chests that contain several items as your achievement level increases in the one area. I have a few that I am getting a chest with three items in it. I'm anxious to complete one that popped up this morning.....explore a lot of rooms in Silohuette mode and I'll get diamonds!

Me too. Happened quite often last night and 2x today. I would receive a message saying I had earned a chest but nothing ever appeared in my inventory. Given the amount of server issues GI is experiencing with the new uodate, do you think contacting them about missing chests would do any good?

Same here. Annoying since the chests were loaded!

Re: Bugs in the new update.
Before my charm-stacking Turtlemania spree this morning I almost posted that I didn't have the chest-not-appearing problem. Now, I'm not so sure, but here goes:
I did a spreadsheet yesterday of achievments , their levels, tasks and rewards, at least as far as I had already accomplished them. Many were not even started, for some I had the 1st ribbons, 1 or 2 I had further along on the 3rd or 4th ribbon. Although because of the initial "whoa-update-cool" I did not remember exactly the first steps of those higher ones, one thing became quite clear: as MBstr8k stated, most of the 1st ribbons rewards are coffee, teslas, idols chocolate or moebius bands, the chests appear earliest at ribbon 2 or after.
Yesterday I got a message for completing stage 2 (called "Darling") of the "Birthday person" achievment, which is the "birthday chest" I got,
Today as the popup window showed, I should have got chests for ribbon 2 of "Hedgehog in the Fog" and the 2nd of "Dunderhead" (The failing exploration one) , but did NOT get them in my inventory. As it was the 1st ribbon for each of them for me, I was suspicious and looked it up in my spreadsheet. Indeed, the rewards were a moebius band and a cup of coffee - which I might have got or not (do YOU keep track of each moebius band? )
Later on I finished the 5th (yeah!) stage of "Dynamo" and actually got the chest, it's called "Dynamo Machine's Chest.
So there seems to be a glitch, but it doesn't seem to be that one doesn't get the reward, but that the congratulation messages show the wrong rewards.
What did I think? a Mystery Manor update without bugs?
By the way - The game crashes continually for me since the update. At least 15 times in 45 minutes this morning - lost 2 lucky clovers & silver yingyangs befor I could top them with a phoenix

Re: Bugs in the new update.
Yep, this is exactly what I've figured out as well. The rewards aren't actually the chests, the pop up windows are showing the wrong ones. So no worries people!LaVentosa wrote: Before my charm-stacking Turtlemania spree this morning I almost posted that I didn't have the chest-not-appearing problem. Now, I'm not so sure, but here goes:

I don't know if that's from the update, I think it's more from overloaded server. My connection was sporadic all day. I had a lot of trouble visiting friends or retrieving gifts.
A lot more people were home during the day today than usual.

no internet connection
It has been a very frustrating few hours; game is crashing again and I cannot get any internet connection at all for MM. Just like someone else posted can't visit friends, other rooms or do anything that requires internet.
Game should load and work regardless of how many people are playing it. Sad, I go back to work in the morning, had planned to play while I was off.

Re: Bugs in the new update.
Bandwidth is expensive - GI is just being 'thrifty' with all the money they make from their players. They don't want to overbuy too much bandwidth, because it would be a 'waste' then and it would cut into their profits.
It's like the phone carriers in the USA - AT&T is useless in NYC during peak hours, but fine in the mornings and night.

Re: Bugs in the new update.
Weird thing is that my game only crashes when I want to visit a high level friend. Don't know if it is coincedence or not. After reboot the visit will succeed....

My faithful heart will kick into effect in a few days, so I can let you know then if it is working properly.

Re: Bugs in the new update.
From your post I'm not quite sure whether you have the concept of the faithful heart straight:NativeGramma wrote:When i upgraded i was a day or two away from getting, what i think is called, the faithful heart.

To get the faithful heart, you have to collect 4 fragments, for each of those you have to visit the Manor 5 days in a row (it's this "a reward for your faithfulness" window popping up each day you open it)
After having visited the 4th time the 5th day (so 20 days in total, but you can start collecting for the next one already during the week the heart is running), you collect automatically the 4th fragment and the charm kicks in. I've had the faithful heart running last week before the update, did the update nevertheless, and still had it afterwards - so it should work these days.
regarding the code Mooscrat posted - when support sends a code to the person questioning, usually the code works _only_ for that person and _only_ once. So in this case it seems the code was _only_ to close the beach event, not supposed to work for you, and of course it had been used before.

If your game crash the minute you try something, close the app completely before you start the game again.
I can't say I'm sure, but I think it doesn't save the last action on the memory of the iPad if you do.
I always do that in case my gifts disappear (which happened to me before)

No i understand the concept of the faithful heart i've been receiving it "faithfully" for the past 4 months i was needing my last fragment before the update now i only have one fragment and never received the faithful heart. No matter im doing fine without it thanks for your feedback much appreciated
