so what can affected accounts do (if anything at all) ?


According to someone I know who's been affected - nothing. All they're doing is continuing to play and hope everything is still functional by the time EA come up with a solution.

It seems EA can't do anything much either at present, or at least nothing effective.

It seems likely it'll continue to affect players until such time as the next update comes out. If past spacing between updates is anything to go by, that could take months. 

Heaven only knows what chaos it will have caused by then.

    thanks for the response 

    the next update will have to erase old corrupt profiles ?

    how can they do that safely ?

    My educated guess would be to change the format (data structure) of the profiles and/or to rebuild it locally (on the device itself) then synchronize with storage servers (GPG). That removes the corruption but can also introduce another issue like lost world progress (may require you to replay some world levels).

  • Those affected by the bug can only hope that any 'Cure' won't end up being far worse than the affliction.

    Those NOT affected by it have to hope that the 'Cure' won't be applied to them as well, and EA don't end up ruining everything for them as well.

    The situation desperately needs a 'Silver Bullet' approach to precisely target and eliminate the problem with minimal collateral damage. But what's the betting EA will use a 'Shotgun' approach that will have far reaching and in all probability destructive consequences for everyone?

    I agree with you Humplemann.  There will not be any 'winners' if a solution is found.
