Update/Install issues
Because since the first days of Discovery some people are having trouble with purchasing/installing/updating/starting it, I will describe the most common solutions to the problem.
First of all: All these issues are UNRELATED to Discovery itself. All store platforms tes each version of Discovery for a minimum of compliance, especially installation/updating. So to make sure: I can't do anything against, if a purchase/install/update doesn't work correctly.
But... there's light at the end of the tunnel. 90% of the people that that write me an email complaining about the above issues also find a way to fix their problems without me. So here we go:
Purchase/Reinstall:
If you have bought an app in any of the stores, and the money transfer aka. "transaction" is done (you will most probably receive an email), the app is bound to your account. PERIOD! That means you can uninstall/install/reinstall as often as you want. What may confuse you is that -on reinstall- some stores still display a price tag. But if you continue in the order process the amount you will be charged will be set to zero. To be precise: It is not possible to buy an app twice (aka. 2x) with the same account on the same store, without having refunded it. If for some reason you're charged twice you have to contact the store provider (Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft) to solve the problem. I can't do anything because all payment/app delivery is being done on their side.
Install:
Sometimes the installation does not succeed. The most simple solution solution is to reboot/restart your device, to kill hanging store processes.
Start:
If Discovery doesn't start, please try first reboot-/restarting your device. If that doesn't help try uninstall->install (loss of data)
Exit:
If the game for some reason doesn't react anymore and you can't get back into the game anymore, try killing the process of the app (please google how to end processes on your device). If you don't know how to do it, reboot the device by turning it off/on.
I hope this solves most of the problems and you can enjoy the game!
