A head's up on Friend Points

I had the same happen yesterday. Had no idea that a new FP was released until I cleared a handshake and saw FP. Later I cleared more but no FP. Annoying really. Did visits after and got FP from that and so far today seem to be receiving them. The glitches are too frequent at the moment.

Most of my handshakes haven't given points in over a week and I still have a ticket open with EA for it...........

I just realized this is happening to me too. I tried going to the neighbourhood screen, and that didn't fix it.

Its been happening since the angel statue showed up on the FP points thing.
Hopefully tomorrow I earn all the XP for the bloodbath peprize so I could get back to earning some extra donuts

Well now it's gotten even weirder. I was playing my games over in my recliner while we watched TV and noticed that I'd stopped getting FP from friend visits. I tried the usual glitch fixes (short of re-installing) and nothing worked. So I said 'Oh well' and just went on with tapping and watching TV.

We got done with TV for the evening and I moved back to my desk... And started getting FP again.

Oh, and this is two separate games on two separated devices. And it's not because they were running on battery, because I have an extension cord by my recliner so I can stay charged up (you never know when the power is going to go off out here in the boonies - with no power and no charge on my devices there's NOTHING to do out here except sit in the dark).

Yep, noticed I received FP for about the first 5 or 10 handshakes cleared. After that no FP.

Same thing for me. I just got the current final prize, so I can't verify this one for a while again...

It's been happening to me too, for no rhyme or reason. When I stop getting them from handshakes in my SP, I try differnt things like exiting and coming back, visiting friends, hard closing etc., but nothing seems to reactive them. They come back eventually no matter what I do, but in the meantime I've lost about 15-20 friend points from clearing handshakes.

Just curious... When your power goes out, how do you get power for your internet? I think I read that you have a satellite provider, but that still uses electricity doesn't it?

When my power goes out, I always have power for my tablet because it is nearly always plugged into my laptop pc. That will last until the laptop's battery goes dead. However, I still don't have any electricity to power my wifi router, unless my next door neighbor powers up his generator and I can use his wifi connection.

Same for me. And going to KL didn't fix it either. But then it just starts working again without doing anything special. So I'm guessing a server issue.

Another strange thing is that the game is doing a behavior that I saw years ago. I click on a $ over a building and a neighbors name comes up in white, just as if I was clearing a handshake.
