Eventually Facebook access was restored and people could easily login to their accounts again. Support could sometimes help locate and sync up the account, though it could take a few days/weeks depending on the information the player had, though they were usually good for getting you back logged into your account in the end. This went on for a few months and as players lost progress, accidentally reinstalled, or had to switch laptops they found themselves locked out of their accounts. There was a big Facebook issue for a while where if you got logged out of Facebook you were unable to log back in. As if it was more checking of a list, update to a certain version, even if there were versions with fixes a little later. If there was a bug with a version they could have realized it was coming and included the bug fix with the update, but time after time they would introduce bugs into the game when they would update that were already resolved in the mobile game, including several exploits that were well known to mobile players and fixed, but opened up in the Windows world without a care. Being behind the mobile game meant they had hindsight, they knew what was coming and could plan ahead. Do hope to eventually see the other mini-games that have disappeared on mobile make their way to Windows.Īnother missed chance to do better is all the glitches, exploits, bugs that were in the game. As well some features such as the Jetpack Run never went away on Windows, which is a fun monthly mini-game with great rewards. Players figured out it was the vungle file causing the constant crashing and freezing, and learned to delete that every few weeks or sooner depending on ad views. Eventually they began to regularly include a spell option on all clan events, which was a nice change from the mobile version, and given the issues on Windows made it so you could make points without losing a ton of gems. There was also crashing, lagging, freezing of the game, seemed to be caused by the ads in the game for those who did get them. For some regions or players videos to continue on an extra bird weren't available for example, making clan events a bit more difficult. The ONWH (Oh No What Happened!) screen became way too familiar with many players, and we often hoped they would just give us a "retry" option when connecting to save points.ĭue to the constant issues they did make it a bit easier on players. Depending on their timezone some could only play during the lag hours and quickly became frustrated. As these server and lag issues dragged on for months we lost many players who had varying degrees of patience and available time to play. Often missing a day of bootcamp meant getting kicked out of the top 100 which would greatly reduce the seasonal rewards you could expect, making it harder to be in the top 100 the next season. Issues quickly arose though with the servers, often giving out daily and we could even know what time of day, say 7PM to 11PM was a no play zone, and it would be a bit hiccupy around those times as well, so really it became an 8 hour window to play, depending on when you played and worked making it difficult to get the dailies in that you need, clan points, bootcamp play. I always felt if I had started a year sooner I could have my flock power built up more and once in the top players you get more rewards making it easier to stay in the top if you keep up with daily play and have good strategies in and out of gameplay. It was great as I always missed on the mobile version not being there at the start and having a chance at the top 100. We had gotten a lot of mobile players together quickly into a clan and started knocking out clan events. As well I personally saw it not being cross platform as a bonus, a chance to start fresh with a new leaderboard and a new flock. When it first came out in 2019 it was pretty exciting, a legitimate way to play Angry Birds 2 on desktop without dealing with emulators or other issues. As it has been a year now since the last update to the Microsoft Windows version of Angry Birds 2 I thought I would take the time to speak about the game a bit.
