Unlimited life after timer expired - (Known Issue)!

Jasam2025

Update by CM: Known issue

Unlimited Lives may not work as expected when playing Star Tournament. Even if the Unlimited Lives timer is showing in your game, Star Tournament may still use your normal stored lives instead.

The team is aware of this issue, but unfortunately it is not a quick fix and may take time to resolve.

We’re sorry for the confusion and inconvenience, and thank you for helping us report this.

Hi all,

I remember before when you get unlimited life after imer has been expired you whill have 5 lives.

I noticed that now this is not the case. I got unlimited lives when we complete the second chest in Team challenge,, but after timer expired I had only one life available .

Is that normal?

Did you change the game in latest updates , or Team quest unlimited lives are not working properly?

Please advise

Hi @QueenB ,

I thought that someone will fix this issue by now , but it is still the same when you are playing star turnament. These are recent screenshots

Hi @Jasam2025, hope you had a great weekend 😊

I’ve heard back from the team, and you were right to flag it. Unlimited Lives are currently not working as expected during Star Tournament. This means that even if the Unlimited Lives timer is showing in your game, Star Tournament may still use your normal stored lives instead.

I completely understand why this is frustrating. If the game shows Unlimited Lives, it’s fair to expect that they should apply when you play.

The team is aware of this issue, but unfortunately it’s not something that can be solved quickly. This means you may continue to see this happen for a while when playing Star Tournament with Unlimited Lives active.

For now, please keep in mind that Unlimited Lives may not protect your stored lives while playing Star Tournament.

I’m really sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you again for helping us highlight this 🙏

Excellent, thank you so much 😊
Still haven't heard back from the team but will let you know 😉

Hi @QueenB ,

I have even better screenshots. ( 24 min left of unlimited lives) I and everyone else can ignore this message, but bigger problem is when timer expired you are back to 1 LIFE .

Thanks for sharing this thread @christinewupp, I'll have a closer look at it as well,

I'm checking with the team now about the fact that lives runs down in the background while indefinite lives are showing so I'll update this thread once I hear back!

Hi @Jasam2025

Thank you for keeping an eye on this and for coming back with screenshots. That really helps 🙏

I’m going to check this with the team, especially as your screenshots show Unlimited Lives still active on the map while the game seems to be warning you about normal lives during Star Tournament.

I’ll come back here as soon as I have more information. Thanks again for taking the time to document it.

Hi @Jasam2025 I see exactly the same in my game. I agree it seems unfair if we started with full lives, use the unlimited lives the game throws at us only then to find we are down to zero lives!

I say "throws at us" because this just appears out of nowhere when I open the game and start playing every morning. It's not apparently linked to any event and there is no choice to deactivate it, nor is there a claim button. I would like to know why this has been introduced @QueenB and whether the fact that our lives run down in the background while indefinite lives are showing on the app is a glitch or intended.

To illustrate the feature we are talking about check this thread also:

Hi @QueenB ,

This time I took screenshots. I opened the game this morning and get booster will which gave me 15 min of unlimited lives ( I should have 5 lives as I was sleeping ).

After some time ( less then 15 min) when I lost 5 lives( playing Star tournament and don't have adds for additional moves) game was telling me that this is my last life.

However , when I got back to the map I still have 3 min of unlimited lives left

Of course I lost it agan in that 3 min and game is telling me that only one life left.

You can see that screenshots are taken in real time since they were not edited.

Please escalate this issue to correct group to fix it. It is really annoying especially when you are in timing event and every second counts.

Thanks

Hi @QueenB ,

I will certainly pay attention in next star tournament and this time back it up with screenshots.

Hi again 😃

Thanks for coming back and sharing those extra details 🙏

As @MannyFae mentioned, this was a known issue back in February when Unlimited Lives were used during Star Tournament, so it could be related.

We have not seen other recent reports about it, but we will keep an eye on it. If more reports come in, we will make sure to flag it back to the Studio team.

In the meantime, please do keep an eye on it as well and let us know if you notice the same thing again the next time Star Tournament comes around.

Thanks again for taking the time to report it, and have a sweet day 🤗

Jasam2025

Hi @MannyFae ,

Yes all this happened in Star turnament which is over now, and now I have time to report the issue😁. Anyway, this only happened when I use unlimited lives when I already had them. To be honest I usually not paying attention to this since I have almost all 200 lives from friends, but this time I knew that is something wrong because I should have them for 45min. Maybe, it happened before but I didn't notice sine time is flying when you play the game 😁. Before, I didn't use unlimited lives in Star turnament at all. Star turnament is there to make us occupied while we are waiting for new levels, but with Soccer tournament and Deep dive dash suddenly became more interesting and I decided to use it.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up. I will pay more attention to this

MannyFae

Are you playing the Star Tournament @Jasam2025 ? There is a known bug with unlimited lives affecting the Star Tournament, which was reported back in February.

Jasam2025

Hi @QueenB ,

I think there is some bug with unlimited lives. ( Or it did not work for me this time and unfortunately I didn't took screen shots).

I have 15 min of unlimited lives and then I took Team chest reward with 30 min of unlimited lives which will be 45min together.

Funny thing then happened, after I lost I think 5 lives, game was telling me that it was my last life, but when I go back to map I saw that I still have 15 min more of unlimited lives.

Maybe when you adding unlimited lives ( I never do this before) game is not counting correctly or my account is not coping properly.

I won't care about that but when time finally expired I was back to 0 lives, which is I think also wrong as I should collect at lest 2 lives in an hour that I was playing the game.

Jasam2025

That is definitely recently changed since I remember one of the Cinemas which was offering unlimited lives and then after timer expired you had 5 lives.

Anica, game is changing and this is one of the change that is making it harder.

It is good to know that this is not glitch in my game

QueenB

Hi @Jasam2025 and thanks for your question.

When Unlimited Lives ends, the game does not automatically refill back to 5 lives. It returns to your normal lives, so if you had 1 life available, that is what you may see after the timer finishes.

Hope this clears out any doubts and have a sweet day 😊
