A lot of you have had this problem: 1) You update to the latest version of AF. 2) You are prompted to create a new character and thus you lose all your stats. 3) However, you notice that the stats in the your signature are still your original stats, not all 0s. HOW TO GET A SIGNATURE Go to this link tekky.xnet.org/iphone/af/UPDATEHere's a unconfirmed method to find out if your stats will be reset. Get a signature. Make sure it's recent and updated. If your stats in your sig are all zeros, but your actual stats are not all zeros, there's a good chance your stats will be reset after updating. Some have said updating to 1.0.1.2 will recover their lost accounts. That will definitely be worth a try. Danielle and Jason have announced that the account system will be revamped in the next updates. AF will be switching to the traditional username/password system. Also, 1.1 will apparently fix the problem with updating, then getting your stats reset. There is only one case under which a lost account can be found. You can tell if you are in this case by using the signature generator and you device identifier. If your stats show up correctly on the signature and not in your game then I can help you. Please PM me your device identifier and when I have a moment I will do some magic and get things working on our side for you. Once I have done a quick task on our end I will need you to uninstall the game (press and hold the launch icon till it shakes and approve the uninstall) and then reinstall the game (not from backup, but a whole new one). If all is done correctly your problem will be solved. For those who didn't read carefully, for this to work, the stats in your signature must be your original stats! If your signature stats are at 0, then you will need to start over. EDIT: Here's a good way to determine if your stats are permanently deleted. Get a signature. If the stats in your signature are YOUR ORIGINAL STATS: the devs have your lost account. Contact them. If the stats in your signature are ALL ZEROS: the devs do not have your account. Start over.

Hey guys,
I fixed many many accounts over the last few days. I have made a change to the server that will allow your devices to start syncing with the web again from here on out. If your device stats are behind those on the server some progress may be lost (I am sorrry, I fixed as many as I could up till last night!). I hope hope hope to see account loss become less of a problem with this update and a basically non existent problem with the next one.
Thanks Danielle

Thanks for your effort Danielle. Although I lost some blueprints. I am happy to see most of resources are recovered. It's great to hear that accounts will be safe after two updates~ Maybe I will plan a crazy leveling up after that update ;P

I hate to sound negative and I hope it is fixed because having to restart the game every few days is getting really old. Loosing accounts with updates, get stuck and unable to get out of the mine to go to the store, those are the tow problems that have been plaguing me. I'm just about to delete and reinstall it again for perhaps the 4th or 5th time just to continue.
<sigh> I'll give it a few more chances but this is getting really old.

I had to do a restore and for some reason the backup that I had done the night before didn't show up so I had to use an older one that was not corrupted. AF did not even show up in my apps after that so I installed over wi-fi. It made me make a new character, but I used my old character name to see if it would grab my data. It did not. I am syncing right now to see if that will somehow bring back my data, but not knowing where the data file is stored I have no idea if this will do anything. Could someone tell me where the data files are stored on my computer so I might be able to find my old one? Not knowing where that file is saved I don't see how a sync would find it without doing a restore from a backup since syncing is only installing apps, media and settings for mail etc. If it's in the settings file area then I could see how the data could be installed again on my phone. Can someone tell me what the extension is for the settings/data files for AF? And where I might find them on my computer. Unfortunately I haven't been able to back up my computer in 10 days or so and that's the period that I did the most levels in AF. I would really hate to lose this file. I was sooooooo excited to finally be able to play the game without having the download it every time. I got way up there in levels & spent way too many hours doing this that I really don't have!
Great job on the game Danielle. You really did some creative stuff with this and very complicated in such a short time. I'm really impressed. I really hope your changes keep everyone from losing data in the future because you've done such a beautiful job.

What do you know.. I just updated to 1.0.1.2 and I'm back to square one again. (for about the fourth or fifth time) I've checked that Sig generator several times throughout all my problems & I've only ever seen a fresh character w/ zero stats. I just don't know what the problem is. I'm on an iPhone that is ALWAYS connected to your server. I've also tried several of the fixes with NO success. Might be time to give up on Aurora Feint for good...

Well, I was sad to hear that others char's were lost in the 1.0.1.1 patch, luckily mine had no issues until I downloaded the 1.0.1.2 patch. Now all my stats are back to zero (and I was pretty close to 70% through the game! Is there going to be a fix for those that got deleted in the "fix" patch?

I'm a little confused. I have a problem where I have beaten every level except 1. I am at 80 speed. The one last level is greyed out and I can't level up in the mine until I beat the last level. It's an irritating loop. I've read on the boards that others are having the same problem. So I was reluctant to update to 1.0.1.1 because it was killing people's accounts. On Jason's recommendation I waited until 1.0.1.2 to do so. But I'm still reluctant because some people are having problems with this version wiping their stats. So I wanted to make sure that my stats were saved on the server. So I checked the Sig File generator. It says that my stats are 0 0 0 2 0 0. However I believe my stats should really be 8 8 8 8 8 8. So now I'm EXTREMELY reluctant to update. Suggestions?

alleygater: I would hold of from updating until this is fully ironed out. Besides, not much was changed in 1.0.1.1 & 1.0.1.2
