[QUOTE="Eric Qel-Droma, post: 216655, member: 794"] And now it's gone from the tablet, as well. This makes NO sense. I've lost scores that were, for me, huge, and the result of hours of trying. I'm so mad I may never play this game again. (Okay, that's probably an exaggeration, but still!) How can the system for high scores be so simplistic? Why just a file? Why can't the system actually keep a list of my high scores and rewrite them one by one, keeping only the highest ones? I'm not much of a programmer, but that algorithm is super easy to envision. At least have a "verify scores and goals with server" option in the program that can standardize scores across versions or something. I've just lost my gameplay for the last three years. UGH. EDIT: Okay, so the PC version hasn't been out for three years. The point stands. Honestly, thinking about getting the Harem Multiball started is enough to make me sick to my stomach. Oh, and Barnyard Madness? Forget it. Those weren't fun to get the first time; the thought of having to get them again because there's not a two-layer check somewhere along the line? UGH. I love this game, and I'm glad FS has made it, but PLEASE find a better way to handle scores and goals so that they aren't overwritten by Steam. I haven't had this problem with ANY other game.
