Hi, Marilyn, I played some layouts off line but when I went online my times did not show up. I played another layout. That time showed up but the other ones did not. Only when I redid some of the layouts did the times show, for those layouts only. I tried another bunch of layouts and my times showed up. I tried another bunch and my times did not. Are my points still being counted? I really don't want to do all those layouts over again.

Hi Katie, Yes yr points are still being counted - if you clik on the 'my times' wen u go bak into the game yr times will appear thr. For yr points to appear in the 'global times' wen u go bak on line it can take the server sometime to log yr points in - this depends on the amount of files played. I usually know wen the points are still being transferred to the server by watching the lights on my modems - wen the scores are being transferred the lights flash flatout - wen the points are logged the flatout flashing stops - thn me times usually appear in the global times - hope this helps

Hi, Spazza, after I went back online I clicked on 'best times' but they did not appear. I downloaded another layout, played it and my times showed for it but when I clicked on the ones I had done offline, my times did not show. I did two of them over and then my times showed for those two but not for any of the others. I exited the game and tried another bunch I had done off line and they showed up. I exited and tried another bunch but they did just like the first, did not show up in the best times. I'm confused because this hasn't happened before. My times always showed up after I had downloaded and played a layout.

Hi Katie and Fiona! Thanks for helping Fiona! Karma hug to you! Katie as long as your times are showing, as Fiona said, in your MY TIMES in your game, then the points counted. Are they still checked off in your fav list as being played? Here is a quote from a post above from my vacation: my times have NOT shown on the MTE server in all of the zip files that I played offline that I have checked. (I played about 20 files probably and did not check them all) Sooooooooooo as long as your times ARE showing in your game, they are counted even if you do not show on the BFG server times list.IF I CAN, I always go back online after playing a zip file offline while the MY file is still in my game. But when out of town or not near a net connection and I can't connect right away and I play more than one MY file, then my times do not always show on the BFG server, but the do show in the MY TIMES in my game. I hope this helps. Let me know if I can do anything. Karma hug to you for asking.

Marilyn, when you say"My Times" do you mean where they are checked off as being done in my favorites? I checked the stats and that's where my name did not show up. After I had redone some of the ones I had already played, my times showed up in the stats.

Hi Katie, In your game, there are TWO spots to look for your times. When you click on "Best Times" in the upper right hand corner you will see "My Times" and "Global Times" As long as your times are showing in the "My Times" then your points are counting. Are the LOs showing as played in your favorites list?

Thanks Marilyn and Fiona!! Never thought to check that spot. I just panicked when my times didn't show up in the best times list.

TOTALLY UNDERSTAND Katie! I think we all at some point experience that "heart attack" feeling when you've played a ton of layouts offline to go back online and not see your times on the BFG server. So glad your times are showing in your MY times. If you read up, you'll see I earned 4 stars while on vacation and very few of the times are showing on the BFG server. Another Karma Hug for you sweetie.

I have a question for anyone but I don't know if this is the right place for it. I was getting LO's today at 10,000 to play later. After I was done getting them I got a message that my MTE needed to be updated. My puter froze and I had to restart it. I check for updates, there wasn't any for my game. Then I went back to the game and the LO's were still there(I just downloading them to my favorives to play later. When I went back a couple hours later to play them, they were all gone. Does anyone out there know what happened?

Does anyone out there know what happened? Hi Judy, Am very sorry to hear your puter froze on you mid game - 2 posibilities come to mind as to yr puter freezing 1 - Ran out of ram (puter memory - mte uses alot of it) 2 - Favourites list too full - not too sure bout this 1 as iv never struck this prob to know if it can freeze yr puter The update msg you got has drawn a blank with me - the only msg iv come across is one i think alot of us has had & thats something like 'make sure you have the latest version of Mte' but maybe someone else has come across the msg you recieved to be able to help you with that 1 Whatever has caused it - you've had some sort of crash - puter &/or game - It isnt uncommon to lose game data during any sort of crash that involves the mte game - in this case you have lost yr my file data & probably any points you've played up prior to the crash if you hadnt backed up after yr last lo file play After any crash that involves yr game - you should always back up yr player file B4 re entering the game - that way you always have the most up to date player files to put back into yr game should you lose any data - doing this would also have saved the 'my file' as you last left it, with all the 10,000 point lo's in tact I am having a similar problem with my launching players files - not all the time but on occasions when i start up my game to launch, i sometimes get a msg telling me that the 'expected object is missing' when i clik on ok, my game continues to load but when i get in thr all my launching players have gone & it tells me i need to create a new player - so i exit the game & delete the player folder in it replacing it with my last backed up player folder i have, replace the my file in it with the file im going to share, start me game up & all is in place - because of this disappearing player data problem - i now copy & save the launched my file as soon as i exit the game & then i immediately back up the player folder as well so i always have the most up to date data files for me launching players - i even do all this wen launching someone to 90* as i share a number of files doing so & i dont wanna lose any one of thm I dont currently use any of me 3 launching players to play the game at the mo as i am running an older player up that iv had sitting dorment for sometime on me puter that i want to get out the way - so its pretty bizarre to me that this prob is affecting this particular lot of players only - it could be tho that i run these players via a flash drive havnt explored that idea enuf to get to the bottom of it - im not too worried bout it etha tho because thr always backed up wenever i use thm The player i am running up is backed up after every lo file i play so i also have the latest possible data on that player as well Sorry Judy - probably not much help in relation to your question - but may help if you ever crash again to you - Fi

Thank You So Much Fi!! Yes that does help clear it up. I do have alot of LO in my favorite, because my daughter and granddaughter play them too. Next time I'll drop some of the LOs before I download more. You were right about the message-it was "make sure you have the latest version of MTE". Judy Karma Hug :-Xfor your help

How, if there is a way, do you go offline to play? I have cable internet and am always online. Would I have to disconnect my internet to go offline?
