Just as a heads up, R243 is delayed on Google. This is mostly a maintenance release getting all the stuff we'll need to have in for the holidays, so it's not going to have any impact on gameplay between platforms. Wanted to let you all know though that it *is* still coming. Just held up in the black box that is first party. It'll be out when it's ready!

    Oh man, I had to do it. I uninstalled the game then reinstalled again. Guess what happened... I lost all my progress. I was using facebook backup I was sure, on playing first time after reinstall I was prompted to restore the backup but that did nothing.
    Great.

    Well, I lost my old game account. Daniel2121 is gone... all six or seven months of progress. I can't retrieve it. Had to create a new account, and btw, apparently game accounts cannot be linked to Google Play accounts. Otherwise I'd be able to retrieve my Daniel2121 account.

    Contact customer support in game.  Multiple ppl in the past have reported that they can help restore an account.

    ... apparently game accounts cannot be linked to Google Play accounts. ...
    Mine is linked and I've no problem in switching between different Android devices to access the game. So it works fine, almost for me.

    Contact customer support directly by mail. Your data as Daniel2121 is saved in the d3go servers so they can give it back to you. Maybe they must ask you for some proofs that you're the real owner, but it should not be a problem to you.

    I had seen more worse things solved by CS... So, stay calm and contact them.

    I'm getting the exact same thing on my S9+
    Says there is an update waiting but when I hit OK to go to the app store, all I can do is hit 'play'. That opens the game to a black screen with the sound playing in the background.
    I can force close the app but when I start it up and it loads to 100% I get back to the 'there is an update waiting' cycle again.

    I got it to update.
    If anyone is having the problem I had above, what you need to do is:
    1) Force close the app
    2) Open the google play store app.
    3) Search for Marvel Puzzle Quest.
    When it finds it from the app store it will tell you its installed and this time there is an 'update' button instead of a 'play' button (what I got when I tried to update from inside the game). Click that and it will properly update.

    That was the first thing I tried but there was no update lol. I reinstalled in hopes that it would patch the game that way... but in doing so I lost my account.

    I tried contacting support.. will take a while I guess

    Lol  I bet they were wishing they hadn't made it mandatory to update to play the game.  I distinctly remember when you could ignore updates for a good while before the game would break.  Sometimes being a long term player and forum member is a real joy.

    Another possible solution is to:

    1) Open Google Play Store App
    2) Open Manage Apps & Device
    3) Go to Updates available

    You should be able to update the MPQ app from there. 

    I also ran into the black screen issue and this is what I did to solve the problem.

    That worked for me, thank you! The Update button wasn't showing but it found it using your method.

    Uninstalling and installing the game fixed it for me (had no issues retrieving my account with Facebook)
