Aurora Feint won’t start.<\/p>\n
I’ve been playing Aurora Feint on the iPhone, and all of the sudden, it quit working. The game, not the phone. I’d go to start it, and then get returned to the main menu. Seems other people were having a similar problem. Some were lucky to get the game working again, others lost data.<\/p>\n
Here’s how I recovered mine, preserving game play. Your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n
0. Back up your iPhones by syncing it with iTunes. I’ve found that I always have the best of luck restoring the game when I’m at the map. Exiting while at the character page or in the middle of a mining activity does work, but not always; this causes the game to be fussy and exit prematurely to the main screen after start (unless you can intercept with a tap in the upper right corner).<\/p>\n Good luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For some unexplained reason, Aurora Feint would no longer start on my iPhone.
