I had to get a replacement iPhone and download all my apps from the apple store. After the first game it white screened. The gamecenter welcome message comes up as Welcome Nettye315 and it says it's reporting my scores but after 3 hard games I realized it wasn't adding them. I've deleted the app twice now without any luck. Interesting that it only white s deemed once and it recognizes my gamecenter name. Have you any solutions yet? </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/hackers#post-81 Tue, 06 Sep 2011 23:37:10 +0000 carmenvd 81@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>Any chance hackers' scores can be removed and those players banned from the game? Tonight XxniteshadexX shows an Average Total Score/Today of 62,197, Average Insane Score of 116,594. He's hacked before and he's (or she's) at it again. Other hacker names that should be removed: itsBROSKE, 3rd place person on the Average Total Score/All Time written in Chinese (?) characters (score of 15,690). These four people show up all in a row on the Average Insane Score/All Time leader board. iPhone_Tyler is also listed in the top four but I think his score was a programming glitch when the game first got started. Either way, that score should be removed as well. Sorry to crab but hackers tick me off! You think they would have something better to do... like legitimately play a game. </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/consistent-crash#post-80 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 03:42:09 +0000 michael 80@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>It is being fixed in the next version.</p> <p>For now go to game settings and enter in ANYTHING as a share name.

If you don't see "welcome back &lt;yourname&gt;" when you launch the app, you're not logged in.</p> <p>Apple did something that made it impossible for use to force a login. They created a 3-strikes rule where after the 3rd time you hit "cancel" it will stop asking you to sign in. After this happens it's impossible for any game to request a log in on it's own.</p> <p>The way to solve it is to use the Game Center app and log in there. Go to the Game Center app, log out and then log back in. Then launch Big Bad Sudoku Book. You can test whether or not you're logged in by tapping one of the game center icons inside the game. One looks like a trophy (achievements) and the other looks like a list of 3 high scores (leader boards). Tap one of these and if you're logged it it will take you to the Game Center screen inside the app.</p> <p>Please let me know if this works. </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/game-center-not-being-updated#post-70 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 19:55:05 +0000 Maxta666 70@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>Game center is not updating for me either on my iPhone...I do not log into game center on any other device.

We're not seeing crashes like this anywhere else on the latest version of software. I suspect something is corrupt in your settings file. In that case you should erase the app from your iPad and reload it from iTunes.</p> <p>Please let me know.

It is my first puzzle to play on your app, and it is just a random easy puzzle. I am not connected games center. I am running the game on an iPad with an updated OS. </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/game-center-not-being-updated#post-67 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 04:38:28 +0000 michael 67@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>It's a complicated problem. Each device is storing it's own high scores locally. But yet you're reporting those scores to the same game center profile. Game Center only keeps track of HIGH scores. So it ignores any score you report that is lower that any previous score that you have reported. It doesn't matter which device you used to play that game. At the end of the game it reports the accumulative scores that you've earned on that version of the game.</p> <p>If on your iPad you've played 20 games at 3000 points each, that's 60,000 points and that's what your game center score will be.</p> <p>If then on your iPhone you play 10 more games at 3000 points each, that's only a total of 30,000 points. When your iPhone reports that score Game Center sees it as lower and ignores it.</p> <p>For now that's how it's working. It's basically a limitation of Game Center. I know that ideally it would show both scores added together but that poses other problems. For example, two players could log in under the same profile name on two different devices and 'cheat' by having both of their scores add up to the same GC score. Then they'd be able to rise up the ranks twice as fast. Actually they could do this on an even bigger level with multiple people.</p> <p>One idea was in each session to first READ the current Game Center score, then add the completed game's score to it and report that back. This would solve the problem of having two devices each keeping their own score. The problem with this idea is that if the device isn't connected to the internet or can't connect to Game Center for several games those game score wouldn't be added to the mix. There might be work arounds for that, like keeping track of all games between Game Center connections, but it gets very complicated. When things get complicated and have too many variables it's easier for things to get REALLY messed up.</p> <p>Unfortunately at this time I think it's better for the Game Center rules to be 'total accumulated score on one device.' Maybe later in the year when we release the next version of GC we'll have something better figured out.</p> <p>We're open to suggestions. Please email them to me. Thanks! </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/white-screen#post-66 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 04:22:40 +0000 michael 66@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>Wow.. thanks for letting me know.</p> <p>Do me this favor.. try switching back to one of your previous game center profiles to see if it reports your score again. I suspect that it's not about getting a new profile as much as it is about logging out and back in of game center.</p> <p>Please email me directly at <a href="mailto:michael@badweaselgames.com">michael@badweaselgames.com</a> to let me know if this works. Thanks. </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/game-center-leaderboards#post-65 Wed, 02 Feb 2011 04:19:25 +0000 michael 65@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>itsBROSKE obviously hacked his/her score. In Game Center if you go back to leaderboards and then look at the total number of games played that user doesn't even show. This means that they just used the jailbreak hack to report whatever score they wanted.</p> <p>The leaderboards on Xbox 360 and PS3 have similar problems. Hackers take the fun out of playing.</p> <p>You are still in first place since the score is obviously a fake. I will ask apple to remove the score and to block the player. The problem is that the more popular this game gets the more score corruption we'll have to deal with. Hopefully apple will release Game Center 2 this year and include a way to handle things like this.</p> <p>I'm sorry you're getting cheated out of your high score. Please keep playing and keep enjoying the game.</p> <p>-Michael </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/white-screen#post-64 Sun, 23 Jan 2011 00:58:26 +0000 carmenvd 64@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>Another question. If you remove and then reload the game, I believe you lose your scores. I've gotten the white screen 3 times. After shutting off my phone, turning it back on and opening the game, I could still play the game and get new games, but it would not add any scores I received to my totals. I worked around it by switching to a new profile. I picked up where I left off and the scores in the new profile added to the old profile scores. Well, I'm on profile 4 and if I get a white screen on this one, I would have to unload and reload the game and lose my scores. I'd really rather not have to do that since MomKat56, is in first place and I've worked months to get there and stay there. Is there any way to add more profiles? </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/game-center-leaderboards#post-63 Fri, 21 Jan 2011 00:08:00 +0000 carmenvd 63@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>Anyway to remove hacks from the leader board? As of today, 1/20/11, itsBROSKE is in first with 110,074,304 points. Up until today, he/she never appeared on the leader board. I've played your game since forever, like when there were only 1,000 people total playing, and I was in 1st place (MomKat56) until this bozo hacked the game. Rather ticks me off that I've put all the effort into it only to be denied 1st place by a cheater. </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/game-center-not-being-updated#post-62 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 13:32:52 +0000 jmsp68 62@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>I have the same issue: my iPad doesn't update GC, only my iPhone does. But in the last couple of days, I've played a few games in my iPhone, which used to update GC, and it hasn't. I'm stuck with the same total score, and it just won't update.</p> <p>Any clue?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/game-center-not-being-updated#post-61 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:23:24 +0000 michael 61@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>Interesting.. So you have the same game center user logged in to two different devices? That's not something that we considered. I'll have to give that some thought and think of a way to handle that.</p> <p>Right now what I expect it will do is only report the higher of the two scores. So if you mostly play on one device and occasionally play on the other, the device that gets the least play will always have lower accumulated scores. All it's doing is reporting the total of all scores on that device to your user name in game center. So if it's less than the total score previously reported by other device it will never LOWER your game center score. Only the device you use the most will show it's score in game center.</p> <p>We could pull the current scores down from game center before each game and then just increment the gc score by the amount of the completed game... but that poses a problem if you don't have a network connection when you start the game.</p> <p>Thanks for the heads up on that bug! We'll figure a work around. </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/consistent-crash#post-60 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:14:55 +0000 michael 60@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>Sorry you are having this problem. That is annoying.</p> <p>It's likely something corrupted in your preferences file. We've seen this happen if the battery dies on your device while you're playing the game.</p> <p>The only way to fix this right now is to delete your app and reinstall it, but that will zero out all of your achievements and scores within the app. </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/harder-puzzles#post-59 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:09:27 +0000 michael 59@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>I would consider one of those two options. I don't get many requests for harder puzzles though.</p> <p>There currently is a way to import puzzles but for now they have to be created within the same app, which defeats your purpose.</p> <p>If you could email me an example of the kind of puzzle you'd like to see I can look into it.</p> <p>-michael </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/consistent-crash#post-58 Wed, 05 Jan 2011 07:28:51 +0000 Martinet 58@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>I've got the same problem with my iPod Touch 3G. Every time the connection with GameCenter is made (it's not easy or automatic), I can't finish any puzzle without a crash.<br /> I can't play a Campaign Mode game anymore, it's crashing.<br /> This is happening since I resolve the puzzle 32 (or so) and I've got 4 of the 12 achievements.<br /> I have the 2.2 version. </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/game-center-not-being-updated#post-57 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 05:48:28 +0000 NickDun 57@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>I have the same but the other way round. The iPhone us fine, but the iPad doesn't update. It shows the scores correctly and says it welcomes me back, but doesn't post my scores. I tried deleting the app from the iPad and reinstalling it but this didn't solve the problem.

I've got a touch 2G running iOS 4.2.1. The game center reporting worked fine during the campaign, but playing random games causes it to crash every time it tries to report. When I restart the game it takes me back to the puzzle I had just finished, but in a partially completed state. It's kind of annoying. </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/game-center-not-being-updated#post-55 Tue, 28 Dec 2010 21:16:47 +0000 pickle 55@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>My iPad updates the Game Center stats, but my iPhone never does. Is this a known issue? Other games do on my iPhone, so it isn't something odd in general with it. This is sort of inconvenient as I don't always have my iPad with me and I like to kill time at places like the mall and have it count :). </p> http://badweaselgames.com/forum/topic/harder-puzzles#post-54 Sat, 25 Dec 2010 15:00:20 +0000 Visby 54@http://badweaselgames.com/forum/ <p>Hi!</p> <p>I really enjoy the app, by far the best working out there.</p> <p>One thing, though: the Insane level puzzles are a bit too easy.
