Always something
Apr. 12th, 2022 10:17 amI’ll do a proper post some other time but right now I’m…. Ugh.
So yesterday I found out the iPad needed an update, which I try and do when I know there is one. (Because for some reason updates tend to free space.) The problem, as is often the with updates is that even if it’s 100mb it needs 1gb free to do it (even though it never takes up that much space) so inevitably I have to uninstall something tenporarily.
So that’s exactly what I do. I uninstall a game called Star Wars Galaxy Of Heroes, because it takes up over 1gb of space and it’s always been my go to to uninstall when there’s an update. Why? Because I never have issues with installing it right back with all the progress still there and everything.
You can probably see where this is going.
I install the update, then when it’s done, predictably, there’s space freed up. I reinstall galaxy of heroes but don’t go on it, because I’d done the stuff for the day so didn’t need to.
A few hours later I do go back on it, because at 1am the game switches to a new day (its usually midnight but when the time changes it always goes odd. But instead of the usual thing… it’s the first time start up screen.
Of course I panic, because there’s a lot of progress lost on there (several years now). I go to the pad’s Game Center but… theres nothing there for the game at all.
It seems that during the update it logged out the account that I’d got logged into Game Center, which had all my progress on and instead logged in with the iPad’s ID instead. Which ugh.
So I know what you’re thinking: ‘why not just log back in with that account’. Well I don’t know the log in details, I only logged in on here once, maybe twice and just forgot about it. The email is tied to the old iPad, which I’ve tried going on today but it seems to be firmly dead. And I just… I’m trying to sort it out but I’m honestly not sure how and I’m just… ugh.
It’s just another thing going wrong that I can’t stand. And it may seem a little thing but I’ve sank so much time into it and just…
Update: ea’s help center was useless it didn’t even try to help me log in, they basically said ‘your stuff is server based we can’t help’ which I’m sure is wrong.
