I was very close to the final beacon in weyworld and my game won't load. It crashes when trying to start. It started having fails as soon as the new update happened. But now it won't wotk at all. I hate to restart because I was really far along - and I would love to finish. Anyone know how to fix this? I have a new iPhone is that matters.
Thanks

When you say final beacon you mean the one which has as I recall something like 3400 ore and 2700 crops? Its the 4th or 5th silly build beacon in weyworld. Not that my suggesting you have several more yet to do helps your issue, but in the iOS case they may be able to recover your game for you, you need to contact 22cans support.

Yes that one that needs 3400 ore- I was working towards that one. All my astari are gone (dead) etc. I did send a request but have never heard anything. If I delete it on my phone does that make me start from square one?
Thanks for your help

It is hard to say. I'd guess 50-50 chance.

There have been reports on this and the official forums that a full reinstall provided no useful changes due to the way the mobile game is deployed so the serverside may be where the fault is so you are best going back to support.

Got to love that we are proving support here in the absence of 22Cans and their shoddy product. I lost all my progress on the PC version. It was hanging on the title screen and when I alt-tabbed it asked me to pick between two saves. Whichever I chose it seemed to wipe my progress and take me back to the start. 22Cans had no solution.
I think the save management for this game has been appalling. Its probably related to the mobile nature.

The two saves piece was blames on steam, each of the saves relates to your userid. If you copy the older files from the prf1xxxx folder into the currently active one you should get a chunk of your game back. Oh and rename teh older prf1 folder to _prf1 or whatever when you next restart or you will have two saves again/still.
In save management terms it was poor, then it got so much worse...

Its always somebody else's fault with GODUS. It wouldn't be a problem if the game wasn't such a chore. There is no way Im going to repeat all that flattening. |

Have to say that was my immediate response too, but having worked out by trial and error what I needed to do to get some 90+ percent of my world back they appeared to have posted the 'workaround' and its blame on steam on the steam forums not on their own nor in response to the support case I opened either. I know in kickstarter terms we expected to be used as additional testing on the game but if such a simple thing as deploying makes the one item you use to track your user base get damaged or reset then it suggests that exactly zero actually 22cans testing was occurring at that point, or at least near zero using the deployed images.
Its not unreasonably that not all their testing is done through some steam feature so as to better match what the paying customers are doing but never having deployed games my self through steam it annoyed me.
I've been backing up my prf folder on every godus update for a long time, having once lost 70 million belief when they decided to break something...

Now now that actual belief loss was due to 22cans changing their save format, even they cannot blame that one on the tooth fairy - but they assured us they were very very sorry...
That made all the different... not.
