    Is your device jailbroken? That happens sometimes. To fix it:

    1) Create a new GC account with a different email address and login.
    2) Run a game that uses GC and let it login.
    3) Exit the game and then go back to GC and logout.
    4) Login with your original GC account.

    Have you used a BETA Game? If so sign out and sign back in. Should work.

    No need to reset, just log out and sign in. When you load a beta game, it uses "Sandbox" Gamecenter, which is used just for betas.

    Thanks all. This is the first time as a beta tester. But it's all working again after logging out and in again.

    Just remember this the next time you launch a beta game. And also, remember to log back in to your normal account after testing, because you can't play online in normal games.

    It's kind of a mess to keep track of, but the best approach is to use one email for an explicitly Sandbox account and one for your regular playing. Then make sure you remember to log out and log in to which one you need *before* launching games. I wish Apple had just had the sense to use one account but only post your beta/adhoc gaming to a sandbox portion of that account but I guess that would have made too much sense.
