You can read about it here: New Big Fish Games Manager Update

Thank you, Marian 🙂

I got that notice when I started my latest Casual Game earlier today.
Just hope I understand it when it happens !! 🤞

Thanks Marian! I saw it also and am not really looking forward to it. I just hope it all goes smoothly!

No, I am not looking forward to it either. I always worry that something will go wrong, particularly if it is fixing something that isn't broken. Club members were offered a beta version of this back in October and I downloaded that with no issues, hoping that I had gotten it over with then and there. Unfortunately the version number of the beta is different than the one mentioned in the link I gave above so it's looking like I will have to update yet again.

Mad, I think when the update is available it will just automatically start installing when you begin to download a game; at least, that is always the way that it has worked in the past.

I'm worried about the part regarding signing in I think. And, I'll have to remember to download a game or two at that time, maybe one from each of my accounts even though they do share the Game Manager. When you tried the beta version, did you have any issues with your two accounts? You do have more than one account right?

I do hope that will be the case, Marian 🤞

(I hate techie changes !!)

Hi, Marian!

I received an email from Big Fish yesterday about the new Game Manager. Since the proverbial "Murphy" has a room in my house, whatever can go wrong, will go wrong !

Susan

Yes, I do. No problems with the beta as yet. It really did not seem unlike the existing one. I think the biggest changes are behind the scenes having to do with increased security.

Susan, Murphy definitely resides at my place too. We need to send him to Bermuda or something.

Thanks Marian!

Susan, Murphy gets around!

oldbroad, he certainly does. Just when I think I've gotten rid of him, he's back again !

Marian, I'm sure the Bermuda Triangle is very nice this time of year !

Susan

Even better!

Hi.

I'm sure there will already be a thread here somewhere about the update but I've been unable to find it.

So, to test if it's happened for ME yet, I just downloaded an oldie favourite - Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles.
But I couldn't tell if anything was any different !!

So perhaps the update hasn't happened yet ??

I moved you to the existing thread, Mad.

Thank you very much, BrownEyedTigre !!

I have read all through the thread now but when downloading a Big Fish game earlier as a test (in the usual way, via Game Manger/ Purchase History) I didn't notice anything different happening.

And the game worked perfectly .. as always.

So, for now, I'm non the wiser

The update hasn't happened yet. We will all be receiving more info when it's getting closer to happening. It is supposed to be the second half of February.

Right !! Thanks, Marian 👍

Fear and trepidation that nothing will work correctly

As I said before, I have been using the beta version of the new GM and have had nothing untoward occur. I am hoping that the final version will be the same, but of course I will be relieved when I can say that with certainty.

Hi, Marian!

Is there a trick to downloading and installing the new Game Manager because I must be doing something wrong? I clicked on the "Download Big Fish Games App For PC", but no progress bar indicating it was downloading appeared. After waiting for over an hour, I brought up the Game Manager and the "Time To Update" message still popped up and I'm unable to play any of the demo games I've installed but haven't purchased yet.

Thanks for any words of wisdom you can share with me !

Susan

Hi Susan,

They are discussing all of this over on the Big Fish Fans page on Facebook, and the general consensus seems to be to wait a while longer because the new update and other changes may not have been implemented yet. There are two moderators there who are contacting Big Fish staff directly about this. I will let you know if I read anything to indicate that everything has been concluded and that all systems are go.

Hi, Marian!

Thanks very much for your response, but it must have worked because, when I launched the Game Manager, up popped "Your Game Manager Is Up to Date!". I can't tell if there is any difference, though, so it should be interesting when I purchase my next game !

Susan

I, too, now have the "updated version" and was very surprised and pleased to see the bonus of "Before and After" pictures

Thanks for letting us know, Susan and Mad!

Thanks! I just updated mine and am testing it out, downloading something in my original account and then will try something in my second account, just to be sure.

Mad, what do you mean about the "Before and After" pictures? The only thing I see different (so far) is that it is bigger.

Everything seems to be working fine for me. Whew!
