📅 Weekly Contest showing scores higher than normal

In this week's Weekly Contest some player's scores are based on data from various weeks and not only this specific week.

Therefore they may have scores and achievements higher than normally.

This issue now fixed, so when the Weekly Contest resets next week, all players will start from scratch.

Thanks for your patience with this week's Weekly Race and the data issue with the scores!

@José_Savelkoul This issue from February this year was solved months ago.

If this is happening again, then it's a new issue with the Weekly Contest. I'll keep an eye if any new comments or reports are coming in.

This surely isn't sorted, or it's acting up again. Today I noticed one of our members of the Candy Crush Saga All Helpgroup asking how it would be possible to beat 2281 levels in a couple of days. I told him it's a hacker, or this "issue" could be acting up again. I've asked him to contact you about this (with screenshot). You might get more complaints, again unfortunately.

How can some one possibly win 448 levels with 02d 16h 06min still showing on the weekly challenge?

@Crazy Cat Lad This issue now fixed, so when the Weekly Contest resets next week, all players will start from scratch.

@Crazy Cat Lad @Pounawea can you please feedback to the Game Team that the issue of high Weekly Contest scores has not been resolved.

Unless of course you think someone really can complete 8000 levels in one week.

@slly2216 believe it or not. The mysterious person popped up on Friday with 30 more wins than me. I was able to get ahead on Sunday and won weekly race. Again this person was someone that seldom plays. Their score wasn't so high that I couldn't catch them. That is why I won.

slly2216

If they can't settle the friends problem, just reset the system back to where it was. Frustrating...it's not to relax your stress anymore...it's to add to your stress thinking how they are always getting you to but boosters. I vowed never to spend a cent more on them

slly2216

There's absolutely no way you can get number 1. I think it's a hoax..everytime you reach number 1, some mysterious player appears ...and all you get is a lousy color bomb

I’m not so sure the issue has been fixed.

@kiara_wael, @Crazy Cat Lad, @Alienscar, @Carol-38 .

Good to see others complaining. The unrealistic levels won should never have been added to all without being tested first in a small group. This has effected most of your players, discouraged many. Differently not a good move that effected the Candy Crush Community.

They went up over 400 overnight. Lol. Definitely a glitch

Crazy Cat Lad

@sashimi Thanks for reporting this!

I spoke with the Game Team and the Weekly Contest is reset for most players. In some games the fix will take another week or two.

Thanks for your patience on this!

sashimi

Still happening. This really stinks

I for one am happy for that because 3 weeks in a row and not one time at the beginning of the race 2 were like 3rd day 1 4th day of I had an one support person tell me because she started in a different one then was moved over here not to mention I don't believe anyone can win even 200 levels in 2 days I asked a few people why high up in levels even they told me it was impossible. SOoooo thank you very much Crazy Cat Lad your A☆☆☆☆

Hi and Welcome to the King Community.

At the moment due to temporary problems you are facing such a problem. Work is underway to resolve the issue and you will find detailed information

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/363492/weekly-contest-showing-scores-higher-than-normal

Once the work for the Weekly Race is completed, your race will work normally again.

GabbyF

for two weeks I am number 1 in the weekly race and your system has an error because it is not keeping or tracking the real score. Attach photos as evidence.

Although I have many levels my account or name Gaby is always in 1 or zero. Please check what is happening with this issue. Thanks.

True. Many people are experiencing this issue.

This is a plan of Studio to make players depressed.

JulesCrushit

My weekly contest has me playing with people who already have 300 or 400 levels complete which is impossible. It looks like the game is counting their stars not the levels passed. Is this going to be fixed?

Alienscar

Hi @larrywhite this issue if abnormally high levels scores is known about and has been reported

*#!😠😤 kidding me?😵‍💫🤐 now even 3 players are way over 100 levels and they really weren't they're a few hours ago. This isn't funny anymore, changing games while playing/rules it 😪

(Edit by CM: Unsupported Language and Rude)

Bennihanna

I don't understand how I can be number one in the weekly contest with 10 wins and most other players have around 9 or less wins and then, all of a sudden, another player becomes number one with over a hundred wins. This happens pretty much every week. The players are all at the same level and, bam, a player comes in with over a hundred wins and becomes the winner. This happens within minutes, not hours or days. How is this cheating done and not corrected by King?

unknownh24g

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/363270/weekly-contest

Same thing was happened to me🤯😨 I hope that it's a different version of a troll. I was getting those suspicious accounts in my weekly contest since 2 weeks ago.

unknownh24g

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/363270/weekly-contest

Absolutely correct.

See here. This troll appeared within an hour🤔 I don't think, any person, except a hacker, could pass 100 levels within an hour.

Hi and welcome to the King Community

Thank you for your report it. will give this feedback to the game team!

Alienscar

To the CM that changed the OP to remove the rude language, what about addressing the issue being complained about as well?

The issue of people in the Weekly Contest having scores in the hundreds is becoming the biggest issue on here. It is high time we had an official response.

Hi @Alienscar I too was shocked this morning when I logged in. Yesterday I was leading with 49 and Melanie, a very good friend of mine was nowhere to be seen. As you can see she is now showing as 112. I have just spoken to her and she laughed, said she has only passed a couple of levels from Monday to today. King really need to sort this it is so unfair. I will see what happens Sunday and if Melanie is still showing as the lead I will ask if she actually got the boosters.

Extra annoying as I have now, like 4 years ago finished and eagerly awaiting the new levels. So I know this was the last chance I would have had of coming first legally.

Alienscar

Hi @Carol-38 damn sorry to hear that you have been robbed of your first place in the Weekly Contest.

Being just a player on here the same as everyone else I obviously don't know what is going on. Based on what we know it could be one of two things causing this I would say.

A troll was added to some people's games that completed a number of levels similar to what everyone is seeing now. Complaints about the Troll have stopped, but it really makes you think that King has just turned a real player into the Troll by providing that player with a false number of levels.

Also this problem has only started since the introduction of the new friend feature. It really makes me think that somehow the number of lives received has got mixed up with the number of levels completed.

Ah well the issue has supposedly been reported to the Game Team now, so only a year or two to wait before it gets fixed.

The more this goes on the more I realise that the Fast Race doesn't work the way I thought it did. That is, in my Race Kerrie was first but in her race she was second. That means that in my Race no one would have actually won the rewards for coming first.

Carol-38

Hi @Alienscar it definitely isn't to do with the number of lives received, if it was I'd be off the scale and 1st all the time. So we can rule that one out. Suppose we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Alienscar

Ah well that is the thing @Carol-38 it might still be linked to lives, but only if King selects you as the Troll in the Weekly Contest.

Can you ask Melanie how many lives she received?

unknownh24g

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/363269/weekly-challenges

Yes... I suspect this is totally done by the Studio.

And I also got such a troll, in my weekly contest, who wasn't there before an hour, but completed 139 levels.

unknownh24g

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/2039061#Comment_2039061

I'm experiencing the same @Carol-38 . Take a look at this.

Screenshot_20220209-164220_Candy Crush Saga.png

Carol-38

Hi @Alienscar Melanie said she could possibly have received all those lives since Monday. She isn't really into it like us, just plays every now and again. She said she has players who keep sending her lives, she doesn't know who the players are or where they came from but she isn't complaining.

I didn't tell her she might be a troll we'll just see what happens Sunday/Monday.

MiladyR

@kiara_wael @Alienscar @Carol-38 @Crazy Cat Lad

Please note that I am not a cheater!!!

My Weekly Contest had disappeared for weeks. I had notice that a couple of people had the same happen to them. Then yesterday it appeared. When I saw my total, I was shocked. The only thing that came to mind is that it represents all the levels I had completed from the time it disappeared up to where I am today. 🤷🏽‍♀️

If anything I was cheated all thought weeks that it had disappeared!!! 😊

Bennihanna

Well, you have a screenshot which is usually what you ask for. This is a major bug in your system. Also, the rewards for second and third place have become ridiculous and not even worth it.

stashbash

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/2038821#Comment_2038821

This just happened to me. I had 84 levels and the next closest was in the 20’s. Now I have 69 levels and someone has 120. So I lost 15 levels somehow on top of the nearly impossible task of clearing 100 levels in an hour.

Kerrie

@MiladyR 🤔Very interesting 🤔

We've been talking about this here also.

***Tried to put the link for the "troll in the weekly race" discussion here but I couldn't get it to work. I can't post links yet, sorry.

Something's going on with this for sure. If those high numbers show up like they have been for many of us your explanation makes sense. But...why would several weeks be all under 1 week? It resets every week. Why am I in 2nd place on my screen and in 1st place on @Alienscar screen and we're in the same race? We have the same people in our race except for those high scores that pop up from nowhere people.

I wish we could get an update of some kind from support in regards to this problem.

MiladyR

https://community.king.com/en/candy-crush-saga/discussion/comment/2039738#Comment_2039738

@Kerrie I don't know for sure if that is the case (cumulative total of missing weeks). I sure wish this can get resolved because it's been weeks I've been missing out on boosters. I'm usually in the top three.

Kerrie

@MiladyR What you said make sense though. It made me feel a little better about maybe my avatar showing up somewhere with wrong totals on it. That makes me uncomfortable. I don't want people thinking I did it or that I'm trying to cheat.

Gold bard
Hello, I just won a race. I had 55 gold bars. It should have went up to 95 gold bars but the extra 40 didn't register. How can that get fixed? Thank you.
