    Aaarrrggghhh!

    After an hour of effort, I had a really good run on the donkey that gave me +.8 seconds and put me in the top 10 on one of my tracks I have trouble with....and I got the screen below:



    For 30+ minutes I had those swirly-arrow icons, and nothing changed. So I tried a few things to "gently" jump-start it; left (but did not close) the app and came back, etc.. Arrows kept swirling around.... finally I just clicked the continue button.

    The game didnt seem to register my winnings at all; I was still at the same rank, I got no score improvements, etc. I waited a half-day just to be sure... nothing.

    So I went back to trying... and thats when I found out it DID register something; my time. I couldnt see the improvement anywhere, but it was there. It gave me no credit at all when I improved my score by +.3 secs; no score, no rank improvement. It didnt give me any when I got +.7 second improvement either..

    ...a couple HOURS later I finally beat my last "known" score by .82 seconds, and FINALLY it registered my top-10 rank on the track.... and gave me a tiny global score improvement (probably since it acted like I went from +.8 time to my .82 time ....)


    So....

    1) anyone found a successful way to get out of this mess when it occurs? (other than beating your own score again and getting no credit)
    2) anyone want to share their frustration/experience about this?

    I had the spinning arrows happen, and I was pretty sad that I didn't get the points. Before playing the same track again, I went and improved my score on a different track, it just happened to be by only 0.001 seconds, but that improvement gave me 20k points, so I knew that the missing points from before came through too. So maybe you don't want to improve the same track again until you can force the points to register by improving on a different track? Mine was not with Donkey, though, so it's hard to say if the same trick would work. Sorry for your loss (of points).

    Yeah.... After additional hours of effort (like I said above) I beat my other time that also gave me top 10 (barely) that refused to show. Losing score in the process. . . . I would try for more but I am too frustrated with the game/track so I gotta move on to keep my sanity.

    I feel your pain. This is why we need monthly LEADERBOARD RECALCULATIONS!

    yeah, i checked the top players on all of the tracks and its impossible that stampede-8 would be higher than GTdave (im not saying of course that he is a cheater, im just saying the LB should be recalculated)

    Yeah, even stampede himself is aware of this and has stated it in previous threads. There is something obviously wrong and it needs to be addressed! We all just want it to be correct. Hell, I might lose rank if it happens, but I'd rather it be correct.

    In before Comunnity Manager comes in and says:

    "Thank you for reporting this issue, we will forward this to the devs!"

    I'm not trying to make fun of Iker, Ubi or Shifty, but you can't tell me they are not aware of this issue!

    It's also impossible that I'm approaching (not there yet) being ahead of GTDave by 1Million points. I think we can all agree the LB needs a recalculation.
