[Steve26]

20 Gifts sent.

Many thanks for those received . Will return to those I couldn't tomorrow, all being well.

I too have intermittent production problems - 1 catering facility is on strike and the other is only working at half output.

I speak Russian
Well, the Update doesn't work. The normal way is to get an update via Store. This is just another useless link...

lol, I did stick it in google translate, so technically speaking I can read it with the help of google!

IS THERE ANYBODY THAT NEEDS HELP TO DO A BLUE LAUNCH TO COMPLETE A TASK ? WE ARE 2 QL THAT CAN HELP AND MAKE YOU LAUNCH AND RETURN 14 MINUTES LATER, JUST LET US KNOW
PS : You need to be neighbours with Rocky ,MikeO and MikeO3 for that

 

[Vivke]

Thanks for all the gifts. Unfortunately I can't send gifts because my game didn't reset them after sending my gifts yesterday. Don't know what has happened but can't send gifts and can't visit my neighbours because it keeps saying 23 h 40.
It isn't the first time it happens but not so pleasant don't be able to send my gifts. Hope it will be back ok tomorrow.

I also got the message of the update but didn't try it.

Need to build a mission control center level 2 and therefore I need 2 more communication antenna.

How can you fly to Area 51 and how to get the plane for it?

 

[Ten33go]

@Vivke - I'll send you a communications antenna from Ten33go when gifting resumes. As for the fighter plane, you need to complete one of the collections to get it, and from what @KenDuckySmith said, it only lasts for a few hours or so.

 

[Vivke]

Took again a look on my gifting and now I was able to send them. Hooray, so they are send now and already a few on my waiting list for tomorrow.

Can now send machine oil for the reserve hangar level 3.

 

[Blue Aero]

I just leveled up and now have attitude indicators available. From last time when I leveled up I have wireless compass, washing machines, and blankets available to gift.

Please, Please, Please note that I am not doing the Aliens Quest. Please do not send me Event gifts !!!!!

I have more than 20 neighbours doing the Event so will need to roll over some gift returns until tomorrow.

I will gift Specific Requests received either by tagging me here or starting a conversation with me, first.

Next Gifts will be sent to Event Neighbours who have supplied me with specific requested gifts

Remaining Gifts will be sent to Event Neighbours in strict rotation.

In the absence of specific requests please see my gamename Harco-item. Currently I need Spare Wire and Fuel Hose.

I hope this is acceptable to you all.

Hmmm. Have been playing Ten33go2 this morning, and switched users to start work and bring up Ten33go. But, Ten33go is back to the white splash screen with the G! GameInsight stuff again. Although this time there's a new twist, the screen closes itself after only a few seconds. Then just keeps closing when you try and bring it up.

Switched back over to Ten33go2 and the same thing is happening. So, went immediately to the folder and did a back up of both games, restarted and still unable to bring up either game. So, may try and uninstall Ten33go2, then reinstall, then copy the last back up and try to start it again... Crossing fingers!!

*** Edit *** Oookay. Now the plot thickens. I uninstalled it, went to the Windows Store, attempted to redownload it, and it wouldn't do it. I received the following error code for my reference:

0x803f7000

Anyone else get this particular error? Going to look it up now.

*** Edit 2 *** Might be the fact that a Windows update is running in the background right now. Just noticed it. Will try again in a bit when it completes.

*** Edit 3 *** Okay, got it to download. So, we'll now copy the LocalState folder into the new game and try to bring it up...

Ok I know I am an amateur.... but I have to get this off my chest. I am seeing too many people have problems with their games.......The Savebinfile technique seems to be screwing up peoples games and I don't think it should be suggested anymore. I think that screwing around with a game's program files is a bad idea and is wrong too.

People should just try the proper route to restore their games first- see below, Also the savebinfile backup is the very technique that is allowing people to cheat in this game. I'm not saying anyone here - I mean those guys that always take 1st in the world map - I am not accusing anyone here to be clear.

It just seems to me that some people who have frequent crashes are using the savebin backup-restore.-

I have never done it and my game only crashed once due to G! problem and once due my own fault-- See my technique below - it is safer and more legit I think. Only use the savebinfile back up technique if nothing else works.

Everyone in this thread is a Window user, and windows has a restore function. If you simply save a restore file every day - takes as much time as doing the savebinfile backup thing. Here is how...

To back up your game (and your entire computer)
You can use the search function and search for Restore - or go directly to system properties, system protection. Click on Create to Set a restore point daily -

If you have a problem with the game. You can go back and restore you entire computer to this point. Yes the restore part does take about 5-10 minutes and isn't as fast as the savebinfile technique.

 

[wkndcmpr]

I do this once or twice a day
very simple

 

[Cluck]

@Cluck
It's okay just need to pick up two more movie theaters and its done.
Thanks anyway.

That wasn't my point. I suppose my real point is everyone has a battle that not everyone knows about. Some people like to publicly discuss their battles, some prefer not. I choose this forum as a safe haven away from mine everyone else's battles. So I don't think it was very understanding or kind of you to delete me.

I hadn't thought of that !!
I do create weekly restore points to guard against virus's etc which get past my defences, particularly Ransomware.
I will do it daily from now on.

As one amateur to another - Thank you @Cluck
