Nope, don't bother going for any medals higher than the one where you have to score 1000 points. They don't work...

I should have listened! Lol didn't see this post until after I got 8000 points and no medals after 1000. I also can't get the 300 medal for some reason either. Fun game tho.

Should have mentioned that the medals work.

Wow son of a

Apparently I haven't been able to get medals because I was logged in for too long? I relogged, then medals work fine once more.

Nope. They're just as wonky as usual. I logged in and out several times, and while this does seem to have an effect on the problem, it doesn't last forever, and medals send randomly.

Dammit! I lucked out totally and scored a little over 17,000 points on Claustrophobia (gotta love those "double your points" stars), and NONE of the medals I was missing sent, and this was after I logged out and logged back in... which seemed to work somewhat on Anaksha (a few medals didn't send), and Mind-Breaker (one 50 pointer didn't send).

I know it shouldn't bug me in the grand scheme of things, but man, that high of a score on Claustrophobia... that's a heartbreaker.

The medal problem is really getting frustrating.

I finished the entire game and did not receive any medals. Not even one.

Same story with this game.

Who should we be contacting to fix the wonky medal problem?

PsychoGoldfish or Tom maybe? Psycho did implement the medal system so maybe he can shed some light on what's goin on.

I played claustrophobia on IE. I got all the medals up to 1000 points to unlock EXCEPT for the 300 point one. It does work better on IE although apparently not perfectly

Can somebody give a hint as to the secret medal in the Wade Fulp Simulator game? I can't even begin to figure out what it is, and all I can do in the game is the 2 functions that allow you to get the medals. I'll admit, I'm not too up on the life of Wade (looking at TheRainbowZilla's comment "BEDNNNN STEEL CADNY!!!!111", I thought that might be a clue), so I'm wondering is the medal some sort of in joke or something?

Watch, it's probably something really easy and I'm putting too much thought into it. But a hint would be wonderful.

Wow, as for a hint, 2 seconds later you get it from multiple sources. You guys are good! Thanks much to Asandir and Teach for the assist.

I'd like a hint for the secret medal too if someone could PM me. I got it once (somehow, I don't even know) and it didn't give me the medal, so I would like to know how to do it so i can delete my .sol file and reattempt to get the medal.

Another new medal game, but again, they don't seem to unlock (at least for me they don't)...

Not only do they not work, but for me, the levels don't work either. I got past level 1-1 and 1-2 was just black, no pig. I refreshed, played level 1-2, went to 1-3, and same thing. I guess I can frefresh every level, but kinda stupid just to try to play a game, no?

You know, ever since you posted that, I haven't been able to get ANY medals at all. It's all your fault! J/k but what a coincidence.

I know because I was playing Thing Thing Arena 3 and had just gotten a bunch of medals. I went to the forums just to check up, saw that post, went back to Thing Thing and couldn't unlock any medals. Tried a few other games since, and the same. Just now got that same message from another game. Is anyone else having trouble recieving any medals at all now, or just me?

Well, if you read the last two pages you would know that a lot of people are having similar issues. I already PMed the problem to the staff, here.

Meanwhile, what seems to work ( sort of) is logging out then logging back in. That's not going to solve much, for most of the game, it seems, but it's better than nothing if your desperate for medals. I think a lot of the usual medal hunters around here are taking a break until the problem is solved.

I'm "priming" up medals from grinding games, and playing other games. Cause... y'know, games are fun, right?

I got "connection established" instead of that pop-up I just posted, and I got some medals from claustrophobia, so I think the medals work again.

Unless it's just me, I don't think its fixed. I played Claustrophobia and got the 2000 point medal to unlock on the screen, but not in my profile.

Unfortunately, even after logging out and then logging in, they don't work for me. They may for you.

They worked for me, so it's not the game's fault. Maybe there are small connection problems again?

It does have an irritating bug. It skips every other level or so after the 10th level, so you can't get the 24 levels cleared medal because it skips it automatically. When I try to reach it from the level select screen, the whole game crashes.
