Windows Update Starting to Roll Out

This is just great!!  Since I have a mobile game as well that I've been growing the last 3 years, I thought I should leave that one connected to FB and took the Windows baby game off FB connection...Not sure if this is advised from reading the above?

Hi all, maybe we are finally getting an update.
If I have posted this in the wrong place please move it.


Dear Windows players, the long-awaited version of the game for you is just around the corner, yay! Make sure to check this information :point_down:
:heavy_check_mark: Connect your game to your Facebook account not to lose the progress if you re-install it;
:heavy_check_mark: To do that, go to Settings, click on the "Facebook disconnected" button, and enter your FB details;
:heavy_check_mark: Voila, you're all set!

Are you guys excited about it? :heart_eyes_cat:

@Shannon I have merged your topic to the one I had already posted in Game News

Thank you for coming to share this info on the forum though

And please never worry about posting in the wrong place, we will always happily move things to the right section

Thank you Downton Falls

Since it's been a while since the last update, how will we know if we have been updated, or do we have to uninstall/reinstall for the update to take effect?

Here’s what you should do: delete the game, restart your device, and then reinstall the app.

I guess this is why they encouraged folks to back up their games to Facebook first. 

 This update is likely to be pretty significant if it requires a whole new install.  I wonder if Windows players will be able to play in the same universe as mobile players after this new version is installed.  Coop members may want to try to all update about the same time.

Did anybody get this rumoured update? Is it merging Windows and mobile now?

I would quite like to play the game on the pc 

Hello everyone!

So I've been playing on PC for quite a while now, and even though my game was connected to my facebook account I don't recall it stayed that way (since now I can't check it).

Today in Windows Store I can see a Township update failing at installing, and I've read the suggestion of re-installing the game but I'm afraid to lose my progress and community there, as my facebook account is likely not connected currently, and I can't change it otherwise as I haven't been able to log in for the past three days.

Is there a way for me to keep my town and get the update, do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way to get into your game by going into Facebook first and Launching it from there?

Thanks for your reply.

It's most likely that my town on Windows PC isn't connected to my facebook account. And I didn't know what you said was possible until now, I've just tried to start it there through this; https://apps.facebook.com/township/ , yet it doesn't seem to do anything, nothing starts, all I get is a message suggests  that the game will be going away soon due to flash going away.

But since my last message here, I did try to contact support, through which the chat-bot suggested I wouldn't lose my progress with re-installing the game, I deleted the game, alas, now I can't re-install it as well

Hopefully the support will be contacting back to me. I'll be putting any possible result I'd get from this for others to learn as well, if there's anyone who's bothered by the same problem.

Hello,

It's the link for the township application on facebook. Is it not what you were suggesting?

The AOL version has not been supported for several years now.

That's why when Adobe stops supporting the Flash Player it will finally go away completely.

Links for the version available for Windows 10

Thank you for sharing

Unfortunately clicking on install/play there opens the township page on Windows Store on my PC, through which I'm still unable to re-install the game.
