Re: Application runs slow and crashes since last upgrade

If the app is still crashing after the new update (V4.8) then please send on some crash reports. Other things to try: 1) restart your iphone 2) delete your user file and create a new one (you will lose all scores and stats) 3) delete the app completely and download it again via the appsore (search f...

Re: Window 7

Just a note that other games (e.g. Fifa 10) also work fine on XP and have problems on 7. You might want to install the latest graphics drivers for your video cards. Some people actually have to install very old graphics drivers to get things to work properly, but normally its recommended to install ...

Re: Window 7

Works fine for me here on Windows 7.

Try reducing the resolution values in the startup window (maybe to 800x600x32) and ensure anti-aliasing is turned off.

Re: game will not play

Two things: First of all wait for V4.7 which is due to be released within the next few days (waiting for apple to complete the review process at the moment). Second, if you still have problems in V4.7, please get me some crash reports. Have a look at the "Application runs slow and crashes since last...

Re: Pyramid Solitaire crashes

This is probably due to the end game music not loading properly for whatever reason.

Try turning off the end game music in the main options.

Re: New Version - Omniscient Game Logic?

Nothing has changed in the AI part in the last few versions. Its just the luck of the draw. For more info see the "turned up card always favors the computer" thread. It seems that one thing I definitely do not have to do is make the computer play better.

Re: Application runs slow and crashes since last upgrade

I don't see how it can affect another game - I think that's near impossible as all games are installed and run separately.

Are you up to date with the latest version of the OS? I think its currently 3.13. You can check it in Settings->General->About->Version.

If people could post what model they have and what OS system version they are using it would help. Also I'm not sure if its possible to generate a crash report also? I need some info if ...

Re: Auto Play does not respond.....

I presume you mean quick moves, and not auto-play.

To assign quick moves to the primary mouse button, press "S". This should hopefully fix the problem.

Re: Black screen in game play

This is a known problem with the game under Windows 7.

GrassGames' Hearts (http://www.grassgames.com/hearts) uses the same (but updated) system and seems to work ok for people with this problem, so I hope that the next version of Solitaire 3D will fix this up.

Re: Turned up card invariably favors the computer hand

This is not a problem as such and hence won't be fixed. Read my answer to the post above to see why. The only solution would be to fix the computer's cards so that it always gets bad cards or rarely gets good cards and this I am not going to do.

Re: Automatic Scoring Option

All good points Trantor. When I talked about auto-scoring in the past, I meant (and assumed people meant) that the computer did the scoring for you. Entering your own score (via I think a nice row of number buttons) seems like a good idea for advanced users and I'll think I'll put an option in in a ...
