cheesemonkey Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 First off, awesome new version! UI is slick, looks great, new features are good and the game runs smooth on both my iphone 5 and 4th gen iPad. I can't for the life of me work out how to use iCloud for saved games though? iCloud is enabled on both devices but see no options with in device settings for FMH? Then on the device I don't get a option to save to cloud... I know it's some thing small I've overlooked but after reading the support FAQs can't work out what I also have no option to delete saved games, is this correct?

SI Staff Alari Naylor Posted November 14, 2013 SI Staff Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hi - are you able to swipe on the save game page to reach the cloud save page? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesemonkey Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 No, there is no bookmark tab either? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Alari Naylor Posted November 14, 2013 SI Staff Share Posted November 14, 2013 Could you try rebooting your device and let me know if that helps? Also please make sure iCloud is signed in. This isn't something we've seen or heard of anyone having an issue with so far so the more info you could give the better - what device are you using/OS are you running?

cheesemonkey Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Also please make sure iCloud is signed in. When you say signed in, you mean turned on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Alari Naylor Posted November 14, 2013 SI Staff Share Posted November 14, 2013 When you say signed in, you mean turned on? That you have a valid account signed in at the top of the iCloud settings. FMH doesn't appear on the list of iOS functions that use cloud - rather it's found within Storage and Backup -> Manage Storage -> Documents and Data Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesemonkey Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 SOLVED - missed the documents/data option within cloud. still no option to delete games though is that correct? just overwrite Didnt see your reply whilst I was replying, thanks for the quick responce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Alari Naylor Posted November 14, 2013 SI Staff Share Posted November 14, 2013 Good to see you've found it. Saves can be deleted from within this area by using the 'Edit' button. Just to check, you are actually able to save to cloud now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveo72 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 How does icloud work. If I save a saved game on my iphone though icloud, does that mean I will be able to pick it up on my ipad? and vise versa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I save a saved game on my iphone though icloud, does that mean I will be able to pick it up on my ipad? and vise versa Yes, that's correct. Swipe from the Save Screen or use the bookmark menu button to reach the iCloud Save Screen. Save in one of the iCloud slots and you should then be able to load the game from the same iCloud slot on any other device logged into the same iCloud account.

harlock Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It seemed to be an iCloud glitch for the last few hours. Each device had it's own saved data (with different size) in the iCloud Documents & Data display. Then I constantly had iCloud error message when trying to save. At some point when I tried to go to the iCloud game load I would see the saves from device B very shortly (less than a second) then the page refreshes and goes back to the saves versions of device A. Then when I refresh the Documents & Data save display it changes once in a while (sizes of saves, number of saves) without me doing anything. OK here's the good part: it's now working!

Kn2010 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I have Icloud running on my Ipad and Iphone but can't see how you save a game to icloud. The App is showing as backing up data to the cloud in settings but I can't see how you save to it from the game. I've seen the exchanges saying you swipe or bookmark but not clear how that works. Nothing I do from the save screen in the game does anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted November 18, 2013 SI Staff Share Posted November 18, 2013 Just out of interest - on the 'save game' page are the 'tab' circles showing indicating that there are seperate sections? (if so then swiping should move you to viewing the 'cloud' games) If no cloud games exist then obviously you can't load them initially - when saving to save to cloud do the same thing, swipe to move to the cloud area then save into a slot within that.

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted February 4, 2014 SI Staff Share Posted February 4, 2014 Hi,I have accidentally overwritten the wrong saved game on my icloud. Is there any way to retrieve the old saved game at all??? Its possible that you might have a local autosave game of the same game if you haven't turned it off - best bet is to move to view 'local' saves and then load each auto-save in turn and check.

I've read your other posts on here so I've rebooted and made sure I see fmh in the manage and storage area of icloud. Still no icloud save option. I DO, however see a file next to fmh in the storage and backup. Could that be from my iphone that I saved? If so, how do I load it on ipad...again no icloud load button.

Really struggling to see what's going on here, clearly the game can't contact the cloud on your iPad for some reason but the setup sounds correct.

pleb16 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I recently got a new phone (6) and downloaded Fm2014. When I tried to save it in iCloud, I got an error 'unable to save in iCloud, please check connection and try again in a few minutes. I had no problem with my previous phone (4s) or on my iPad. I deleted the game (and all it files) from all 3 devices, rebooted and downloaded again and get the same error and don't even have the option to save in iCloud on my iPad anymore (attached) or my previous phone.

The in game date is 16/2/13 but when I look at game saves on my iPad i can see no game save to load under the iCloud option i am connected to the Internet on my iPad and previously it found a save but at 1/1/13 for some reason even though it doesn't match the above game save.

If this is for FMH 2014, Apple made changes that broke it. If for FMM 2016, it sounds like FMM has not been given access to your iCloud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
