Hi Pogoians,

I had a few days off there, and am just back in, so I'm playing catch-up. Thank you for flagging this!

I took a peek at my own game, but didn't run into this issue - I wasn't being forced to use power-ups in order to play, or when I picked a chance card, so it may help to get a visual on things. If it's happening for you, could you grab a screenshot or a recording of it?

As you can see in the screenshot, the x to close the current game is missing forcing me to use powerups which I have never been forced to do before. The game also forces me to use extra chance cards. The X to say no to using extra chance cards is also missing. And that finger comes up. Never seen that before. My game is stuck in the screenshot below for days. I have closed my browers and cleared all cookies etc and nothing works

The main issue for me is the total inability to use power-ups when in game if I run out. Run out of extra chance card picks? In the past, I'd just purchse them when down to Zero in my bank, ten new ones at a time. Now, with the dumb Store icon, I can only purchase them in advance. Trying to purchase new power-ups in game as needed causes the game to lock up and force additional purchases.
New way of buying broke the old way - and the old way was better.

What about the low earnings? My daily goal is like 12m and I can only earn 200k per game. It's also only issuing the minus cards so it's not worth playing. Looks like a couple people are having the issue of low earnings and/or their upgrading their homes and the next day the earnings are reset to low

Here's how to replicate the errors shown by multiple users here:
Log into the game and use up all power-ups for Second Chance/Extra Lives/Double Earnings. Don't buy any in the newly-added-with-this-update Shop icon. Start a new game and intentionally make three mistakes in cell placement, so that the "Out of Lives, want to buy more?" prompt comes up. Attempt to buy more, and after that attempt to keep playing the game in the way you've done successfully for years,
Earn enough cash to upgrade a property with additional houses/hotels? Try to upgrade. Cash will be subtracted from your total, but do you get your upgrade? I admit I haven't tried lately because I'm tired of losing virtual money and I've seen no indication that the cause (again, this all started after last week's game update) has been remediated.
