Once I get it, I will figure out how to share it with all of you. It has been a frustrating week for sure.

I have just received an e-mail from BFG chat, and they say they now see the problem I am having, and there will soon be a Fix for it, which he will e-mail to me as soon as it is ready. They are paying attention. Hi Ann, Thank you for that - heres hoping thr 'fix' is acted on a whole lot faster than thr 'profanity filter'

Great Ann because this is getting to be very frustrating. Please let us know what the solution is so that we can also fix our files.... I am getting tired of losing, saving, backing up and starting over and over again. Hi Rosita I hear wot yr saying & i know it is extremely frustrating but if we want to play weve just gota go that extra mile to do so for now Read me next post - hope it helps Fi

Simplifying the current game play of MteIf you have only 1 game of Mte it makes it more difficult to play If you have 2 versions of the game that is grt & ya can simplify how ya run them If you have V1.3 put a COPY of yr good player folder into it - the 1 that you can play offline with & the pts appear as 10,000 - use this version to play yr game Use V1.2 to launch with - Testing yr launching player: (you should only need to do this 1 time to know if you can launch & or pull from the launch screen or not) with a COPY of yr good running player that has an 'already played' my file in it go online - make - share & bump 1 lo - if the pts drop to 500 - play offline & stay offline - exit the game - delete the player folder - put a fresh copy of yr good player in its place & re test it the next day if the pts on the lo appear as 10,000 & are holding - you can launch now pull 1 lo from the launch screen - if the pts drop to 500 - exit the game - delete the player folder - put a fresh copy of yr good player in its place & add yr launching file - reopen the game & share & bump yr launch - DO NOT GRAB FROM THE LAUNCH SCREEN If the pts hold at 10,000 - you are good to go - you can launch, bump & grab from the screen - exit the game - delete the player folder - put a fresh copy of yr good player in its place & add yr launching file - reopen the game & share & bump yr launch - grab from the launch screen if you wish If at anytime the pts drop throughout yr launch you can etha - exit the game - delete the folder - put a fresh copy of yr good player in its place & add yr launching file & continue to share & bump where you left off & retrieve yr bumped los from the launch screen - OR - you can continue to share & bump yr los & wen done - exit the game - delete the folder - put a fresh copy of yr good player in its place - open the game - & retrieve yr los from the launch screen Following a successful 10,000 pt launch &/or grab - exit the game & SAVE THE MY FILE - It is an absolute MUST that you save the my file at this point!!! for the pts to appear in your offline playing game as 10,000
After you have saved the my file - then & ONLY then can you reopen yr game offline to check the points - if it appears that they have dropped to 500 - delete the player folder & put a fresh copy of yr good player in its place This is currently the only way to be able to play this game at this time & IS temporary (I hope ) until matters are fully repaired & resolved completely between the servers & Bfg If you have only 1 game - It is not impossible to do the above but it makes it more difficult to play than it is to stay offline & if ya have a good running game where the pts are 10,000 then ya better off staying offline to play - saves alot of player folder swapping etc to launch & play & over writing player folder mistakes can be made this way - unless you can get yrself into a really good system of knowing exactly where everything is & you have a very clear picture of where you are at with it al - only then - would it be wise to attempt itl If you have 2 versions of the game that is grt - Use V1.3 to play offline & V1.2 as yr launching player only & PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE - BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP! SAVE YOUR PLAYING PLAYER TO YOUR BACKUP PLAYER AFTER EVERY SINGLE FILE YOU PLAYBacking up this way avoids huge player point losses to recover if yr game crashes or anything else for any reason - it is by far quicker to recover points from 1 playing file than a days worth of playing I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH - YOU CAN NOT GET ANYMORE BACKED UP THAN THAT THEN - AT THE END OF EACH DAY BACKUP YOUR BACKUP PLAYER
Fi For gamers who have corrupt playing folders (all pts 500 all the time) thr is a way to activate those players - thr is 1 currently on trial - will post when i know for sure its doing ok - until wotever it is thats causing the corruption of the pts gets sorted out - yes thats a server thing - thr is still a way for those players to run & if they havnt been deleted - possibly for those players which have come to a sudden halt on the star screen

I have just received an e-mail from BFG chat, and they say they now see the problem I am having, and there will soon be a Fix for it, which he will e-mail to me as soon as it is ready. They are paying attention. No offense to anyone; however, I for one, will NOT run ANY so-called *fix*, irregardless of if/when they ever release one. The ONLY *fix* I intend on running soon is the *stat fix*. This so-called *fix* being discussed, will most likely have to be extracted into the actual GAME FOLDER, same as the *stat fix*. AND, as all other things, it will have to be tested and the flaws weeded out. If there are any problems with it, and it's extremely rare that there won't be in the beginning, ALL BUPs pulled into your game folder will be affected ... and most likely not in a good way. Yesterday, I had a working BUP that I was able to launch and grab from the layout page with, having all showing online and offline as 10,000 pts. (Hence the 600 or so launches as they were emailed to friends that could not launch). Last night, thanks to Fi, I got my original player folder back and in working order, without losing ANY points AT ALL. It appeas as though all is fine with everyone's players today, which is great . No *fix* for me. I will continue to back up, tyvm Marilyn and I will always have a BUP to launch with when everything drops to 500, plus my up to date player which will play them offline at 10,000 even when others won't. I've taken enough risks with my main player. Even backed up, if it were to be pulled into the game with a *fix* that has kinks in it, then it too would not be fit to be played, as the *fix* will affect it. I'm sorted over here --- huge thanx & karma to Fi --- for the numerous emails yesterday. I'm staying as I am and continuing to BACK UP. Hugs to all Connie

Once again, I played until very late last night and no problems.... today, again files are corrupted. I have noticed that this usually happens mornings and then it is corrected by night. Who knows, meanwhile, following instructions of all you experts to make sure we do not affect our game.

Well I guess i REALLY have a problem.I backed up like I was suppose to ,right after I had my new stars andBigFish came back on-line, didn't realize my players were corrupted. So to play off line is not in my cards. But it also means that I haven't got a non corrupted player file for either of my players. Now what??? I hadn't done any launches or bumping because of the warnings, but didn't even think twice about backing-up my new stars.

Fi that you and the rest of the players are having such game problems right now. Honestly, I have not even opened my game since I got home, so not since they had the fire. Since I went on vacation just before the fire. I do not plan on opening my game either until this is more worked out. So much to try to wrap this pea brain of mine around. Karma Hug to you sweetie & that Rebel Connie gal, for all the efforts you are making to help others. You are such special & wonderful gals. I'm blessed to be able to call you my friends.
