Each and every time my game has frozen in the past, I first got the "stats" screen, closed it out, and my game locked up on the way to the title screen, which is quite frankly genius on the part of the devs, and very comforting on the off chance the game does freeze, because everything is saved before anything bad can happen.

Today, for the first time, I didn't make it to the "stats" screen. The level 2 movie started playing, I tapped out of it, and the game froze in limbo. When I closed out and restarted the game (via the double-click, hold, hit the X method on the iPhone) my game restarted, but my progress wasn't there...

To be quite honest, I could have imagined the gain and subsequent loss, but I tend to keep a pretty close eye on my "Dust Devil/Nine-Inch" fund these days...

Further, I'm also getting frozen quite a bit as the game starts.

It should be noted that I'm currently playing A LOT.

P.S. Made it to level 15 again today and died a glorious death in a hail of bullets, energy waves and mutant mucous...

Sorry to double-post, but I didn't want this question to get lost...

When you heal someone who is down in MP, how do you do it? How do you know it "takes?"

I tried to heal another player (during level 15) and although I was standing right next to them, they didn't get up, even though I got the animation and sound associated with "healing" myself...

I assume are talking about reviving (since healing somebody else just involves a tap on the Medipack). To revive somebody, stay close to him as if you are opening a common chest. The reason why you couldn't revive someone could be associated with the lag. If you are not the host of a game, when someone is knocked out, his actual position may be different from the position you see on screen. Sometimes you just have to move around him instead of standing next to him. And stay a little longer until you see he really gets up (instead of just seeing the completion of the countdown). If not, that person may be still down and you will lose the revive indicator, making it a lot harder to revive him later on.

Crap. That's what I thought. I noticed the "open chest" indicator, and admittedly in the past didn't realize my standing still was what was making the reviving "take," probably because in the past I had no reason to move.

I'm guessing shockwaves are in order when attempting to heal someone in the middle of approximately 1000 mutants?

I won't try to do that unless I am confident in my armor pieces and I don't care about score (well, you shouldn't really consider score anymore if someone just get knocked down like that). I would usually circle around the map and take out some of the mutants or at least keep them far away before I try to revive somebody. If you would like to try that heroic move of reviving somebody among tons of mutants, use a defense boost, so that you won't end up like the other guy.

I agree with Bravo Two, defense boost is a great idea. Depending on how many mutants are left or how well you've rounded them up, maybe a speed boost to rush over when they are on the opposite side of the down player also works well.

Angry Game not found:- game does not exist anymore

Help please, each time a receive an invite for co-op I get error "Game not found, Game does not exist anymore."
This only happens if I'm connecting on a complete different network(wireless network) if using the same router there is no problem.

I can play just fine alone, I have removed him from my game center friend I still can't find his game, I added him over but still we cant do multiplayer

The same happens to me with full wifi, I was just playing with nino rullo and I was dc'd at wave 13. This is why I don't make rooms anymore it's just annoying cuz I really enjoy playing with certain players wanting to make the leader board. But like you, I can play all 20 waves just fine alone. Maybe theirs something wrong with the server I don't know anymore?

FWIW, I hear ya.

I've signed into 8-10 games in the past few hours, none of which made it past level 15, with most bagging out around level 5. I don't know if people are dumping out or getting dumped out, but it makes me crazy to have to keep starting over and over and over again.

I'm not the best player out there, but I need the practice, and my philosophy is go until you die, using medipacks when needed to keep everyone healthy and keep the run afloat.

It makes me absolutely crazy to run a consistent 100x multiplier with two other players and end up alone just as things start heating up... I'm quite frankly not good enough to go it alone at this point.
