Re: Sync Between iPad and iphone?

I've tried that Indys2. When I click on link from the iPad it still asks me if I want to load the gamecenter game and lose the current one. I don't have the guts to try it for fear of losing my iPad game which is really advanced already.

So you deleted the app from the iphone and opted not to keep it in game center and the ipad one is asking you if you want to load the linked one? (Just making sure I understand @captn9 .)

I'd try the in-app support then and see if they can unlink your one from the iphone from game center and if not, contact Apple and see if they can do it. There has to be a way, I would think. The only problem with having a game not linked to game center is if the app crashes or if your ipad starts to act funny and you wipe it, the game and your progress will be gone.

    Yes sorry if i was unclear. here is what i did

    1. downloaded app on my iphone

    2. looked to sync my iphone and ipad, but clicked link to gamecenter on my phone unknowing of the proper process.3

    3. deleted the app on my phone.

    4. redownloaded the app and did the tutorial different with wind power instead of coal.

    5. clicked link to gamecenter and verified gamecenter version was the first tutorial i did on my phone.

    6. deleted the app again and all the gamecenter data from my phone.

    7. got on my iPad and went to link to gamecenter and it asked if I wanted to download gamecenter version and lose the current version,

    Losing my ipad game is what I dont want to do.  I dont know if i can recover from this mistake to ever play on both devices with my game of choice, but that is my goal.  I i cannot and I lose my ipad game I will probably not wish to restart the game.  Also, i'm assuming that my backed up version of the game is the tutorial game if I ever need to restore my ipad for any reason.

    So I'm in the same boat here with no resolution so far.  Here is the order of what I've experienced.

    1. Downloaded on Iphone 6+; played to around level 10.  

    2. Logged into gamecenter

    3. Downloaded on Ipad Air; played just to end of tutorial then clicked login into gamecenter, but it did not connect with my further progressed iphone game.

    4. Deleted app from ipad; including deleting game center data when asked.

    5. Played game on Iphone to reload game center progress. All good there.

    6. Went back to ipad; downloaded app again, played through tutorial, logged into game center... and it loaded the PREVIOUS ipad progress that is said was deleted... NOT the iphone progress that is further along and supposedly the only progress that should be left after I "deleted it and its game center progress" from the ipad.

    I'm so confused.  I would really like to play this game on my ipad, but I cant get it to load my main progress file from my Iphone.  Please help.  

    However if I can't get this fixed AND they don't fix the ridiculous trade center HQ situation, I may just bail on it all together.
