Ad boosts not working in STC

★★★ Novice

I've played two rounds of the Sweet Treats challenge where the advertisement boosts are available to click, but the ad doesn't play and I don't receive the boost. And the button for the ad just sticks around.

 

I have screen recordings from different rounds and different events (same day) where this is happening. 

 

I reported the bug. What do I do now?

@allisnox In my go, I go out of game. Close it from the task manager (Android) and play it again. If not working, try to restart the phone. If still not working, maybe you have opened a lot of ads. Try again tomorrow.

I did before I posted here 2 weeks ago. I posted here because their advice didn't work when I tried it before coming here. 

 

I'm still getting goofed up ads and I've lost a lot of resources that I paid real money for so I could complete the challenge.

 

I'm not happy. I'm not raging, but I am really annoyed because I don't get my resources back.

Hi @allisnox,

 

Okay, we're limited in the steps we can suggest given there's only a handful for mobile devices.

 

You mentioned a bug report? I'm afraid I can't see a bug report thread from you on this. Could you share the link please? If you're referring to this current thread, it's a technical issue thread on the Technical Issues board and it's where we'd share troubleshooting options to help limit technical issues. Bug reports require the bug report template to be filled out on our Bug Report board
