So, just after dinner last night, I went back to playing my semi-regular, weekly, six-hour, double-bonus, session of Candy Crush Saga. I use this bonus to try a run through as many levels as possible in the limited amount of time I have. It helps racking up secondary bonuses. After I ran out of lives, I went to another game so I could exploit a glitch the my computer has with interacting with the game. As I mentioned in previous posts, whenever I exit Candy Crush, the game resets to its baseline immediately after I return to it. This means I have full lives, and I receive my first day daily bonus again, exactly as if I just signed in for the day. This allows me to play through levels faster, since I can always get full life back any time I want just by refreshing the page, as well as getting huge numbers of the current first day bonus. It limits me to just one type of bonus, at least on my regular browser but not others. It also means that certain side quests don't activate until I play a level. I sometimes miss out on some bonus points for some side quest due to this. Anyway, it is still a benefit. Well, when I went to my second game, it didn't download. Did I mention that I play these games only on Facebook? Well, I do. I tried refreshing the page. I switched browsers. Nothing worked. It wasn't just one game, it was three games that I play regularly, and two I don't but I still leave up just in case I want to go back. Strangely enough, my Candy Crush games weren't effected. Neither was my lone instant game that I have up. Not was a trivia game I only keep up so I don't lose some of my accomplishments on it. The situation lasted through the night. I lost out on a large bonus on one of my games, which will probably reset to day one when it comes back on. I missed out on two free bonuses, as well as the changed to improve my weekly score, on a second game. The third game? I just missed out on playing more games. Unfortunately, it will make it harder trying to score my last achievement missing form that game before it leaves Facebook at the end of the year. Still, I'll keep trying for it. When I went back online this morning, at least the one game I checked on had came back. I didn't check the others, at hat would have activated the daily bonuses on them, and I didn't have the time nor the inclination to play them so early. I had sent Facebook a message about the problem just before I logged off last night. I don't know if that was why the game came back or not. For all I know, it was just a side effect form Facebook's upgrade that is finishing up soon. As long as I can still play in some form, I don't care, although I will admit to not really liking the new format that much yet.
