This does overlook one aspect of the problem: the current game mechanics are designed for the current ad-centric game play. Without the ads, Windows players are at a considerable disadvantage. Even trading for items fails to make up for this handicap.

So I am reaching my limit of frustration over the lack of ads available on the Windows version of AC. It feels like playing with one hand tied behind my back. In desperation, I am considering buying an iPad to play AC. Has anyone successfully moved their game from Windows to IOS? I opened a...

It is truly remarkable that during a time when other ad services companies are experiencing record ad sales, Vungle/GI is unable to meet our need for ads. Not a good sign for either company. So sad, I really enjoy playing AC, but fear it is not long for this earth.

Agreed! At least run in-house ads promoting other GI properties. Without ads, the game is essentially broken, so I refuse to spend any money until this situation is corrected.

This may be a desperate struggle to replace the revenue lost from a lack of Windows platform ad revenue. GI seems unable to secure advertisers on that platform, essentially breaking the game for those poor users, and this may keep GI alive for a few more weeks. Not a positive sign at all. Really...

Sadly, "fixing it" will require a pretty substantial change to their code or paying their ad provider for streaming in-house ads, which will cost. I don't see either one happening quickly. It will only get worse once Apple's upcoming changes to ad policies take effect, which will turn the Apple...

All you can do is wait for GI to get more advertisers. Time seem to be tough for them right now.

Agreed! Vungle is pretty much a bottom-feeder in the ad services business. Their only benefit is an extremely low commission rate, which results in a few pennies more to GI for an ad play. This is a somewhat recent move for GI, as they were with a more reputable and effective ad services...

Not for me on Windows. What platforms are working?

This is a recurring problem. It is my theory that GI runs out of paid Windows ads and then the system fails. It has been an issue for months (at least) and support just says "check your internet connection and we will pass your information on to research" every time someone opens a ticket. Many...

It is my belief that this behavior ("unavailable" or "loading") is a poorly communicated "we've run out of paying advertisers and don't know what to do." Other game studios run in-house ads for their other properties instead of breaking the user experience.

I have the same problem, consistently. GI has chosen a 3rd tier ad service and this is what we get.

Why in the world does that work? Thanks for the tip, I would never have figured that out!

Since the Cinemania update, my push trucks are randomly getting abandoned on the tarmac. That means that the stand serviced by that truck can not leave the stand. Strangely, toggling away from the game, waiting 5 seconds or more, then toggling back causes the plane to disappear (take off behind...

Don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but when I choose a speed-up that requires viewing an ad and the ad served is "March of Empires" the screen shows a "Tap to Play" message in the middle of the screen and the 30 second countdown timer does not move. I can't get past it, so my only...

I am on Windows. When I opened the Store and chose "downloads and updates" it didn't indicate that an AC update was available, but it downloaded one anyway. I am now on 8.1

That is so simple! My face is red. Thanks!

Thanks, that helps a lot. That's a bit circuitous of a path, but now I now the trick.

I did try the Wiki, but the Plane page but I could not find any reference to a Pharmaceutical lab.

So I was naive when I purchased a Falcon, not realizing that I needed to build a Furniture factory. That meant that my shiny new plane was not usable for about 8 days. To rub it in, that plane was part of the weekly alliance challenge. I don't want to repeat that mistake. In addition to the...
