I’ve been playing 3 accounts on 2 iPads and iPhone for years now, and I could play all 3 on the same device just fine. But since last night, I cannot switch accounts anymore. My main account loads, regardless of Game Center account I’m being sign into. I reinstalled the game, I wiped one iPad, no luck. New game starts, I am able to load my main account, but when I sign in to different Game Center accounts, game won’t pick saved progress anymore and will continue with main account. Even after wiping iPad and signing into alt Game Center, game starts with new village and doesn’t find saved atomic town. I can sign in to main Game Center and game will find that, but my alt seems vanished.

Customer service gives me canned responses without reading the tickets, because how can you reply to the above saying that creating multiple accounts on one device is unsupported? The accounts were created years ago, I cannot switch existing accounts, not create new ones.

Nexon is really screwing up recently, our feeder alliance basically got killed because chat is empty and all messages are gone as soon as you reload the game, and now I cannot play with alt accounts, alts that I put some money into.

I am having the same issue. As a workaround, after the game loads with the wrong account, wait 3 minutes until the “are you still there?” box comes up. When the game reloads, it will load the right account.

Game finally loaded my alt on wife’s iPad. I’ll leave alt there, but it’s just inconvenient to swap tablets when until last night I could simply login to another Game Center.

Cannibals has your issue started yesterday too? Or this is something ongoing? Because I’ve never experienced it before yesterday.

Yup it started yesterday. I think it has something to do with loading events data because it only happens when I load an alt with a different age. It doesn’t happen when I switch between CWA/AA or two alts that are of the same age. I think it loads correctly after the “are you still there?” box because the events data is already cached at that point.

My accounts are CWA and AA, so age theory doesn’t apply, but once the game reloads, it will find alt account. Going back to main CWA is seamless, but switching to AA alt again I have to wait. Somebody changed something, either Nexon on server side or Apple did something with Game Center service.

Same here, no problem switching back to main account. Going to an alt account, my game stays logged in to my previous account. By changing the language, it quickly updates the game centre account, try it...and learn a new language ;)

I have been having issues on Android for a couple days now. I can switch but it takes a couple minutes.

I bet you didn't learn Russian 🤣
Must be iOS user. The problem is your request to the server wasn't pushed through. By changing languages, that request was finally pushed through. This happens in other games also

This made me try. I am running iOS 12 beta version 2. Very nice and stable by the way, but I have no trouble switching accounts. I have to clear game from the app switcher, closing it, but then my other bases load up just fine
