JCman7 Well-Known Member Jul 6, 2009 2,548 3 36 Mechanical Engineering NY #4 JCman7, Jan 3, 2013 I downloaded this yesterday and it was fine. Today I have a ton of games in my feed that I did not play, a ton of tickets in my account, all characters are unlocked, every chat in every game is by the same person and involve inappropriate messages. nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #5 nightc1, Jan 3, 2013 Read the reviews on the app, seems like they screwed up on an update. Still, I locked in a license. JCman7 Well-Known Member Jul 6, 2009 2,548 3 36 Mechanical Engineering NY #6 JCman7, Jan 3, 2013 Yeah I saw on twitter that they were working on s fix, still looks like this player hacked the game though JCman7 Well-Known Member Jul 6, 2009 2,548 3 36 Mechanical Engineering NY #7 JCman7, Jan 3, 2013 Last edited: Jan 3, 2013 So they told me on twitter to delete and reinstall the app, it fixed the problem so if anyone else experiences this issue just do the same Habakuk Well-Known Member Dec 11, 2008 4,779 9 38 Vienna, Austria http://rossau.wordpress.com #8 Habakuk, Jan 3, 2013 As far as I remember I installed the game yesterday and the first screen said register here and register there (and I couldn't proceed without registering) so I deleted it immediately.

So sad... FPE Well-Known Member Sep 25, 2010 3,031 0 0 World, now Belgium #10 FPE, Jan 3, 2013 Only works shortly. What a pity, it seems a fun ame nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #11 nightc1, Jan 3, 2013 I guess it's good I only locked in the license and never finished downloading this. I haven't really seen Chillingo have problems like this before (only been an iOS gamer for about a year now)... so it's deal able. I imagine they'll get this fixed (or if they are just publishing, whoever the dev is will get it fixed). This isn't exactly my favorite genre of gaming anyway... got plenty to play. JCman7 Well-Known Member Jul 6, 2009 2,548 3 36 Mechanical Engineering NY #12 JCman7, Jan 3, 2013 Update is coming within the next 24hrs Kubaton Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2012 221 1 18 Louisiana, USA #13 Kubaton, Jan 3, 2013 I locked in a license but I'm waiting for a fix before I give it a try. One thing I did notice is the free character mentioned in the game description wasn't unlocked for me. SpikeGuy Well-Known Member May 8, 2012 532 0 16 #14 SpikeGuy, Jan 4, 2013 Good grief it's a multiplayer game. Every other multiplayer word game I play makes you create an account. This is no different. It seems like a cute little game. I'm looking forward to playing it when they fix the bug. FPE Well-Known Member Sep 25, 2010 3,031 0 0 World, now Belgium #15 FPE, Jan 4, 2013 The update did nothing .... After few turns I get again all sort of game garbage! Connector Well-Known Member May 6, 2012 15,512 1 0 In the Chatroom http://thechatroom.freeforums.net/ #16 Connector, Jan 4, 2013 I think I like your terminology better. Game garbage sounds much better than just garbage. But to be fair, I am liking Sky Hero. Even with all the coins, inapps and freemium structure; it plays really good on my hdmi tv. So Chillingo, thanks for all these free games nowadays! SpikeGuy Well-Known Member May 8, 2012 532 0 16 #17 SpikeGuy, Jan 4, 2013 Yeah me too. It said if you have 1.4 to delete the game and re-install. I did that and was then prompted to upgrade the game. Bug still present and I'm logged in as "Adam B", which is what everyone is complaining about. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
