Can no longer play BW2 via BFG Manager under the Free to Play games section ?
6 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 1st 2018 at 2:56 AM Moonie I just went to the Free to Play games section of the BFG Manager, and my beloved BW2 is no longer listed! I play another game via the manager, Farmerama, and it is still listed. However, when I open Farmerama, the manager gets closed, so can not play any other game that acts that way; aka closing manager when opening game. I do have a "downloaded" BW2 that is openable via the manager but, that version acts the same as Farmerama, so can not open BOTH at the same time. I despise playing games in browsers, which apparently is the only way to have both of my games open at the same time now ?! WHY! Anyone else experiencing this or have a work around ?

BW2 will be listed there.

I can even open my MS word program, and I am able to use them all simultaneously and keep all windows open with no problems.

I play this game in my browser so I hadn't noticed the issue in the manager. Did you put in a ticket with BF? I will try in my manager and if I have the same issue if I will put in a ticket. This is a BF issue so the devs in this forum won't be able to help. I was very disappointed about the changes BF made. I have been a member since 2008. I chose them because they used to have the best options and game prices. The community forums and game manager were other reasons. I use the game manager for all of my downloaded games.

6 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 1st 2018 at 9:40 AM Moonie That's the same for me, Army. I have too many tabs and different browsers open for different things as is. I use Chrome for one of my Coral Isle character's, FB Gameroom for the other and another game, Opera for my browsing needs, and FF for when I need to login to gmail to tell them that was me logging in, in some part of the country, because we are truck drivers, connecting to various cell towers all across the country. Not to mention Outlook for email, Excel times 6-8 different files at once for game infos, business infos, etc, calculator, magnifier, notepad, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc... Right now, in Opera, I have 18 tabs open! I do NOT need another tab just for a game, which complicates changing tabs for various needs. I just want to be able to alt tab to BW2 like I used to be able to, and with BFG closing their forums, I'm lost on where to get help with this issue!

1530 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 1st 2018 at 10:54 AM ArmyMomOkc Moonie, You are very welcome! I hope they didn't make a change to the GM without announcing it. I won't be able to check if I have the same problem until later today.
7 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 1st 2018 at 5:12 PM sfergu4127 I had the same problem and submitted a ticket to Big Fish and they could not correct the problem so they gave me a free game. I now can only play online. I did like playing through the manager.

I have had to go back and forth with them several times before to actually get a problem fixed. However, this is time I don't think support can do anything. I just opened my GM and see they changed it since the last time I used it. It shows they updated the app today. (update is shown on the BFG website) I'm not excited about the changes they have made.

6 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 2nd 2018 at 4:31 PM Moonie Playing the "downloaded" version works fine, until I try to also open Farmerama at the same time. You can not have both games open at the same time, unless you were playing the BW2 that opened from the "Free to Play Games" section of the BFG Manager, which is no longer there.
1819 Posts	Link to post - Posted May 2nd 2018 at 4:52 PM Flybaby That sounds to me like it is a BF issue. I know that change is sometimes hard, but you may want to consider other options that were suggested in this forum. I have played on BF online for years, and have never had problems.
