Piñata party 5th December, festivus causes crashes
Piñata party is jumping back to the Home Screen today without any rewards so it’s not worth doing . I have completed the festivus which sometimes causes crashes but the problem persists.

When I have done the level in the subject above, the game crashed immediately and I don't think that I can get some rewards in that level
Why? And how to fix it?Today was the first day the Christmas pinata showed up. I completed the level but when the christmas presents were about to show up, the game crashed. I tried again but slowed things down. And the same thing happened again. Can you please fix the christmas level reward crash? My device is Iphone 13, version 15.
oh, i don't think so, I was really frustrated about this
And thank you for letting me know!
I could mean,i had spent 10 gems to replay and it still crashed again,rip my 10 gems,i shouldn't have replayed.I have seen the below post from subreddit explaining the issues with the current Pinata party rewards. If any of the forum mods have noticed this message could you pass this over to the devs at PopCap and get this fault rectified please? Thank you.

Pinata Party rewards for the week has been defined incorrectly
Somebody turned my attention to the fact that in the wiki, there are no rewards listed for the period Dec 05 - Dec 13. These tables are produced automatically - i.e., I have a Python script that reads the data files of the game and creates these tables based on what it sees. So, if something is missing, it's either missing from the game, or there is a bug in my script.
So, I took a careful look and, guess what? It's not a bug in my script.
For the Pinata Parties during this period, the game defines a reward table named lod_feastivus_2022. Too bad, no such table exists. There are tables named lod_feastivus_2022_1, lod_feastivus_2022_2, lod_feastivus_2022_3, and lod_feastivus_2022_4. My guess is that somebody at PopCap meant to use the name lod_feastivus_2022_1 there but maybe had some eggnog too much.
Also, I am now inclined to believe that this is why today's Pinata Party is crashing when the time comes to grand you the rewards - it is referring to a rewards table that doesn't exist. If I am right, the Pinata Parties will keep crashing for a whole week, unless this is fixed ASAP.
We've had such a problem in the past, which is why I keep nattering that PopCap needs to hire some real programmer to write a data consistency checker for them. To err is human but there ought to be tools that catch such kinds of errors before they slip into production.
All these problems with the game are putting players off the game now .
It’s about time they get it sorted like you say.- @ewSenpai28 Please read other threads on this subject
- @coolhez Santa's little helpers must have snuck into the Santa's workshop and tooled around to get piñata party up & running. Hope they got overtime.
Nice to have it working again
