Been 4 days since able to play this person. They see it as my turn, I see it as thier turn. I am receiving "Game out of sync" when I click on thier name to see thier chat responses. What do we do? neither can resign. Playing on facebook

Answer 1

I had the same problem, so I started a new game with the same person.  I haven't had the problem since then, yet.

This worked great for my laptop, but on my desktop, I am totally unable to get the same drop down list, therefore I am unable to actually go to the elements to delete.  I have tried and tried, and I still get the same drop down list on the desktop, not the drop down list that is supposed to come up.

The above suggestion did not work for me.

Answer 4

Try deleting the app and reloading it. Sometimes that fixes the problem.

Answer 5

Simply refresh/reloading the page usually does the trick.

After 5 days there has been a load of refresh/reload. still not working

Then:
1. Try using a different browser. That will enable you to quickly determine whether the problem is with your account or your browser.
2. If it works in the new browser then you need to clear the cache or Facebook cookies from your primary browser.
3. If it doesn't work in the new browser then change your permissions and/or remove then reinstall the app: http://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications
4. If nothing works then contact the developer's help desk: http://newtoy.zendesk.com/anonymous_requests/new

I have tried all that you have suggested before finding this forum. I have even suggested to the other player the same. We have tried all we could think of. We are now just waiting out the period of the 5 days in hopes the system will force resign one of us and we can try a new game

You obviously haven't tried #4 if you came here.

Ok Scooteristi, it honestly appears to me that you enjoy to have the last word. PLEASE do not keep adding a reply if you do not know exactly what is going on. I respect the fact that people come here to ask questions that they need "HELP" with. I do not answer questions if I do not know what I am talking about. I browsed other questions and happen to see some of your answers and do not see to me as someone who takes all of the process seriously. So again I ask you to please do not reply to my question without a serious and helpful response. When i asked something my question is honest and so are my answers. YOU have no right to question that!!!!!!

---

I can question anything I want, because it is quite obvious that you had not contacted the developer for help, otherwise you would have said so before saying you tried "all" before coming to "this forum" which is just run by fans of the game.

scooteristi, as an IT Consultant I can say that contacting the Developer's HelpDesk is a last resort for many reasons, the first, you are contacting a limited number of people who work on a development scope (intermediate between teams) and very rarely get an answer let alone a resolution, posting within forums gives you access to potential millions. 2) In all probablility if one person has experienced a software issue, multiple people have, forums are the best place to source those people The one issue I do see in forums however is people with limited to zero knowledge on a subject (such as yourself) that pick at technical grammaticals in someones post to somehow boost their own personal sense of believing they know something which they do not.

---

Thank you very much!

---

Anybody find a solution yet?  I tried all of the above and I've contacted the developer's help desk.  I guess if all else fails maybe the game will drop off after 11 days.

---

I have had the same problem, keep refeshing, closing out the game, rebooting. All of those activities help at some time or another and the problem seems to solve itself. I am using facebook as the foundation because on its own it is jerky, slow, and tediously difficult. Even with Facebook it is slow. So, I use Google Chrome, go to Facebook from there, go to my home page and clisk on the game. Now it is as fast as it was on the android. I can close out of Facebook and come back using chrome and the out of synce problem disappears for the most part without waiting for the game to drop off into the world of idle-time oblivion.

^5 on that. Solutions is what ppl want. Well said, anonymous
