  4. So I’m not sure if this has already been answered, but I signed up for an account on my iPad today through the Create a user button. My phone only gave me the option for Facebook and Google Plus log-in. So when I logged in on my phone it reverted to the iPad version which is basically the first two “levels”, as opposed to on my phone which had almost everything and 400 clams along with several hundred thousand coins. I had the new Rupert and everything! =)
    Have I lost it all now? And why didn’t my phone give me an option besides Facebook and google plus. I could go to the second screen after switch accounts or whatever it was, but it only gave me the option on my phone to sign in with username, never create one. I’ve emailed Tinyco, but of course no reply. Is there anyway to revert to the awesomeness my phone held? =)

    HELP!

    • You created the account on your ipad, which was new. That’s the issue. So because you created the account on a low level game and then signed in on your phone it replaced your phone game with the saved game.
      I think TinyCo will be able to restore your phone game, you’ll just need a little bit of patience. Make sure you indicate that you purchased clams etc from it and hopefully they can get it back for you. Beyond that, there’s no “trick” i can give you to get it back. With out creating an account on your phone you can’t revert back to it unless TinyCo helps. 😦

        • For those experiencing this issue… it is a known one… here are some things you can try while TinyCo sees if they can do more on their end to help as well.

          As a temporary workaround, Google suggests clearing Google Play Store’s data from your phone and then trying to install the game. To do this, go to Settings > Application Manager > All > Google Play Store > Clear data.

          A second possible workaround is to re-install the entire Google Play Store App. To do this go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Store > uninstall updates. After that try to install the game again.

  6. So today I went to move my Al Harringtons and tgen the game crashed. I got back on and Als disappeared along with the Stewie Tea Party quest and any items used to unlock character skins (I had Falcon Peter waiting to be unlocked after collecting all items for him.) Now, I scroll to Falcon Peter in Peters skins and it says I need to unlock Als in the shopping district to get the items for him! What the heck do I do now? I can’t progress anymore in the game without Als and it’s NOWHERE in my game! Please help.

    • DO NOT SELECT REPLACE….you’ll lose your progress. Send a message from within the game to TinyCo. Main menu, help & support, “contact us”. Tell them about this in detail, include your Facebook info. Tell them about the warning screen pop up. They can help you reconnect to your current game status.

    • It’s written weird. It actually is saying you will lose your level 1 game, the one that loaded on the new phone. Just hit ok and your old game will load. Since it is linked to a Facebook account. You won’t lose your saved game.

  19. How about a suggestion to make the game more enjoyable:
    Create a character that has a guaranteed drop. The task time could be 2-3 times the normal task time to account for the rarity (example: 24-48 hours for plutonium instead of the 8-hr task), but it would be guaranteed. It would really help when you just need that one item that will not drop. Maybe make the Mafia Don, since he can get anything. Whatever items you are working on would be available. This would be in place of the buildings, which are effectively all premium since they cost a lot of clams.

    Just a thought and figured I would share.

    • Here is a troubleshooting sequence to try:

      Try a hard close, then shut your device off completely to clear the memory cache. Then fire everything back up. If this doesn’t work, the next step is an uninstall/reinstall (make sure your game has an email account set up, or Facebook/Google linked account). If this does nothing, send an email to TinyCo: help@tinyco.com Give them as much information as possible.i.e device used, description of problem, when it started..etc. Good luck. Let us know the status. 😉

        • Do you have the game on your main device storage? Or do you have the option for an alternate one, like mini external SD card? On my GS4 I put this and the other game on my external. Both are full of info and need a LOT of space. At least 2GB for the other. This one I allow at least 1GB. If you have the option and DON’T have the game there, try moving it in your applications manager to see if it makes a difference.

          In the mean time, make sure you have a LOT of space open on your device to download any updates. I usually keep at least 2GB free space on my device mainly for big downloads.

          If all that does not help, you may want to contact TinyCo for additional help.

  27. Hi. Ever since my latest update I haven’t been able to play.. ?

    Consuela always comes up and says “no no” and I get a data error message to try again. For a while. I thought my net was down

    Sucks because I was on level 40 (max level atm) and I do NOT have facebook so I can’t add it to my game thing there..

    Btw I’m on an iPad (prefer the bigger screen alternative)

    Oh and off topic but when I try to access the AppStore also, it lags to load and keeps saying “loading” but nothing actually happens. Idk if it has anything to do with the family guy game screwing up but ever since I stupidly updated it. Both stopped working simultaneously :-/

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    • I am seeing reports of players having issues loading the game. Variable reasons. Most I can suggest is the basic troubleshooting…my concern is the fact you stated it is NOT linked to a Facebook account. There is nothing that saved the data if you did not opt for an email save.

      So in your case, I would suggest contacting TinyCo right away as the basic troubleshooting may wipe out your game permanently and they are only ones that can recover it for you if that happens. Just better to be safe in that way.

      Due to you can’t access your game, I say email them…
      help@tinyco.com

      Give them as MANY details about your game as you possible can. If you have any screenshots with your ID on it, let them have that info too.

After checking a bit on the facebook page I noticed that I wasn’t the only one with this problem. Does they know about this ? Are they working on a fix ? I spent a couple dozen euros on clams for a game I cannot play anymore (and just when Stewie is released !), this is really irritating…

        • I only ask as people tend to vent or state problems with their devices, but don’t report it. By reporting it, their techs are able to visually see how many players are impacted, the devices impacted, and possibly see if there is a compatibility or trend issue with that device going on.

          It really does help to let them know. I will also ask in the meantime.

          May I get some more info from you to send to them myself too? What patch exactly are you talking about? Approx date? (A lot have been released recently.) What are the specific issues you are running in to? When does it happen? What troubleshooting have you tried? Etc…

  33. Hi! On july 14th at around 6pm EST, I’ve been having issues regarding launching the game. Tried relaunching and even force closing the game several times now, but Consuela still keeps saying that I couldn’t connect to the server. She’s getting on my nerves and it’s getting frustrating. I’m about to unlock Falconer Peter and I just couldn’t do it coz of technical related issues. I tried checking out the appstore for updates, but there’s just none. Hope engineers from tiny co are already well aware of this issue and fix it in no time coz I seriously looooove this game!

    • Try a few troubleshooting methods like a hard close to see if it corrects it. You can also try a complete uninstall/reinstall of the app as long as you have linked your game to an email or Facebook for recovery (needed to get your game back). Double check to see if your characters have completed all their other tasks that may be holding them up from being able to finish these ones.

      Outside of that, contacting TinyCo via your in game menu and letting them know the issue will give them a chance to look into it to see if there is another issue going on. (Especially with the scroll crash).

    • This is very sad to me. 😦 We try to stress to ALL players to avoid the “modified” game dealers. Now you can’t reach out to TinyCo because they ban such activity. Try playing the level one game until it gets to the point were the main menu becomes available. Go to the account info screen, select “sign in as another player” then enter your Facebook info. You’ll get a message that reads you’re about to lose your level 1 game. Ignore it and select “OK”. If your level 33 game doesn’t load. Then your game (and money)….were taken by the “eBay” individual. Sorry, other than the tip I just gave you….there’s nothing more we can do for you. Let us know if it helped. 🙂

  48. I seem to be having trouble gathering a large amount of coins. I finished district 7 right as the Fourth of July event began so I didn’t really have much free time to save up coins. I have all the buildings built and even some premium ones. I put all my characters on tasks at all times including the ones who aren’t involved in any quests or item drops. With the new district being open now and the buildings and block clearing prices are much more costly I was wondering if you guys have any tactics to getting more coins faster or to getting a larger amount of coins at a time? Or is this just a normal thing that takes time to save up? Patience isn’t really the issue here, I’m just curious if I’m just not very savvy with my Quahog currency 😉. Thanks!
