  6. I’m playing this game on my fairly new desk top computer. The game froze and would do even get past the title page and a green screen. There is no way to find the game again – I read all about registering an account to recover BUT when I go to the main menu all I get are – settings and inventory – nothing else (and it isn’t under settings either). How can I register when there is no place to register? I’ve now lost this game twice – and I was quite a bit into the game the first time. I downloaded it on from Microsoft Windows Shop – I have a facebook account but that didn’t help as I never got a chance to register – I even restarted the game again to see if the registration thingy would show up but it didn’t. What am I doing wrong?Nice game but now I am teed off. Not a gamer and not a computer savy person but even I could find the menu and the account register place IF it was there.

    • Nothing. The info here and the main game is in Mobile App Market. Windows is a stand alone system and doesn’t function same or have same options.

      • Thank you – so Windows players are never going to be able to create an account. Thank goodness I didn’t spend any real money on this game. I found a way to run it as if it was on a phone but the size of the playing area is way too small to be any fun – you end up scrolling around just to find level one characters. Anyway thanks much for the answer – they ought to tell people downloading from Windows they will be screwed if the game malfunctions.

        • I didn’t say never. It is in it’s early stages. BETA if you will. As far as the details, they did announce it as well as news all over the net and here too about no account link options. Sorry if you missed the information. 😦

  7. Meghan, if you had created an account you won’t lose anything. you’ll just have to sign back in. Go to your Google play store and look up the family guy game and it should say update Instead of install. If it doesn’t say that, then uninstall the game and reinstall it. open the game after it’s installed and when you’re in the city go to account and log in.

  8. While trying to load, the game says “data error, retry” and never actually loads. I really don’t want to uninstall… is the game itself down? I noticed once I reached level 2 in the star trek event it started to glitch. I was told to clear trekkies that I couldn’t actually see. I’ve tried stopping and restarting the application, as well as restarting my phone.

    • That is usually something on your end. It is most likely a storage issue. Try clearing out some space on your device and make sure you are on a good strong signal.

      In the meantime, save your game to an email or Facebook. Just somewhere so you have a back up for it. That way if you have to uninstall your game is still backed up to just reload.

    • Completely wipe it off your device cache/data and make sure you have no back up or links to Facebook/email. If so unlink them. Then also make sure you have nothing on the cloud saved for it or from your markets. Then it should be all gone.

    • Well I can assure you I’ve got a LOT more to lose than you in my game. I’m also linked to Facebook. Right in the menu, account screen you’ll see your save info listed as name on Facebook and lower right being Player ID #. Take a screen shot of it.

      Facebook hates my name and has shut down my account many times. Due to this, not only have I uninstalled and Reinstalled the game too many times to count… I’ve also completely in linked and refined ALL my account progress from one Facebook name to another. No problems as of yet. I just get the game to Level to the menu option… pop into the account menu… log back into Facebook… and LOAD my saved game. 😉

      If you’re having crashing issues, it’s most likely your device. This is what I do for those issues.

    • You need to make an account. Regardless if you play this event or not. It’s the ONLY way to save your progress. If you don’t you’re risking losing what you worked for.

      A lot of fixes can be done by uninstall. Especially if you have a corrupt file

  27. When will TinyCo. get their heads out of their rear ends and do something to make their product useable on Windows? No saving option. Stops after district 8. NO special events. No special characters. I don’t want to put it on my phone because they want so many permissions that they don’t need.

    • Matt answered about Windows in our Q & A you can find the answer on it here..

      Star Trek Q&A With TinyCo: Highlights

      The short of it is…this game is intended to be a mobile app on iOS and Android. If you want to play it with all the updates everyone else sees you’ll have to play it on a iOS or Android device. The windows version is meant to be a stand alone option, one that can be played offline if needed. Therefore it doesn’t get the same updates the other version gets. And currently nothing new is planned for it.

      Like

    • Matt did speak on it during the Q&A. It’s a stand alone system from the mobile and needs other focus on what’s there before adding more to it. No updates now, but they’ll see what future brings.

      As for permissions, I don’t see any that 1000 other apps now request too. So I personally don’t mind. But that’s your choice to not want to give them.

  48. So without having that option of an amazon platform playing friend available I was still able to understand what you meant and able to successfully use my credits. I had to uninstall my game and reinstall it through amazon app market vs google play store and once I linked the fresh install to my user id via amazon (and skipping the google logon) I was able to complete my purchase through amazon (it was the only payment method available). It was a lot of work but totally worth it to cash in on my free $20 amazon app store credits. 600 clams baby-hell yea! I couldn’t have done it without your help and suggestion. Thanks a million!

      • I’ve never used amazon app store for anything; having an android smartphone as my primary playing device I’ve essentially defaulted to using gmail/google play.

        However, I did see the coins you referenced (although) I have none). I ccontacted amazon they said my credits were valid and any issue I was having was likely a developer issue (I.e. either they don’t accept amazon app store or im experiencing a tech glitch). I did email tinyco but don’t expect an immediate response because they’ve got lots of other stuff on their plate.

        I just thought it weird to not see any amazon payment options-even if it were “coins” I don’t see an option to use coins. Isn’t it odd for the game to link up via amazon but not use amazon app payment options?

        Sorry if I’m wordy or repetitive I’m just anxious. Thanks again for your help!

        • K… so here is the issue then… you can ONLY access the app market linked to the device. AKA iOS- Apple, Android – Google, Kindles- Amazon, etc. So to use a product for Amazon, you would need to borrow a friends Amazon device, log into your account, buy what you need, log back out, go to your device.
