Cpl. Ferro, have you tried doing it 'after' you take your iPad 'offline'? Do the split screen 'offline'? Win OS, in leaving game open and not minimizing to make time/date change, stops the game from refreshing of which refreshing "makes server connection" when it does. If we (win users) minimize game to make date/time change and bring game back up, it refreshes. Which is "making server 're'connection". Can't do that. We (win users) keep game open to make change. No 're'connection happens, no refreshing, no 're'popup of the ads. Just time changes and trophies light. That is the only thing that happens.

There is someone else here on the wiki that I saw had made at least one post to someone else about that on the "offline" in iOS... no wifi... no nothing... I did not see her actual post because it was removed...... but saw the 'responding' post about it 'worked' and the responder stated they had not thought about going offline, but that it worked.

Which is why Win OS now makes sense of doing no refresh. Keeping (windows) game open/no refresh from server, is the same as offline for us Win OS and you iOS users. Windows just makes it a tad easier. I could unplug my internet from laptop and get same results, trophies relighting and gathering becauses no refresh can happen. Will be handy during storms where I disconnect the ethernet cord during them.... but could still get energy if I needed more for extended playing.

If what I just said is not the case, what makes windows work still and everytime, then I can't fathom what else the cause could be, because all the clues point to that "don't make server connection when changing date". That part has 'always' worked. Before this update, I did back-date offline during a storm... wanted to craft some needed items to keep playing. Trophies lit up and I got extra goodies of energy and with the needed coins.

and.... I'm rambling again....
