    New Device - transfer your games

    When you get a new device, you have a choice of setting a restaurant on your new device or transfer your current restaurant to it.

    To set a new restaurant:
    1. Download Restaurant Story unto your new device.
    2. Start playing on your new restaurant. Don't forget to set your new Storm8 ID and password.

    To transfer your current restaurant to your new device:
    1. Transfer your games (see below instructions).
    2. Log into your Game Centre if using iOS device
    3. Start Restaurant Story

    Transfer your games
    You can use the Login feature to transfer your Storm8 ID and all Storm8 games over to your new device. Since Restaurant Story does not have the login feature, you will need to use any game listed on Post 1 of the Login Feature thread instead.

    Please see the instructions on post 1 of the New Logon on Feature thread.

    If you have issues transferring your games, you can contact Storm8 Support: https://support.storm8.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and they can transfer your games.

    Note:
    (1) If you are selling or giving away your old device, it is recommended that you contact Storm8 Support: https://support.storm8.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and ask them to remove your Storm8 ID and games tagged to that device.

    (2) Playing on devices of different platforms may cause sync errors.

    • If you recently transferred from iOS to Android, you may have some items that are not supported on the platform and appear invisible. Contact Storm8 Support: https://support.storm8.com/hc/en-us/requests/new so we can assist you in hiding those items and prevent the errors.

    Maintain your device
    Remember to do the general housekeeping periodically to maintain your device for the best in-game experience. Your game will slow down when your device is not performing well.
    • Always keep the latest software version for your device (e.g. operating software and game)
    • Make sure your device has plenty of space (by clearing unwanted apps, photos, documents, etc.)
    • Clear cache
    • Disconnect and connect to your cellular or wifi
    • Restart device

    What can I do to try to resolve my game issues?

    iOS General Issues
    If your iOS device is having issues, make sure you've tried the following:
    • Restart your device
    • Delete and reinstall the game
    • Hard restart - hold the power and home buttons, through the power off slider, until the Apple symbol appears.

      For newer devices (iPod Touch 4th Gen and newer, iPhone 3G and newer, all iPad versions [possibly other devices]) - close out background running apps. Double tap the home button, when the screen raises up, hold the app until it starts shaking. Press the red minus symbol to close.


    Connection Issues
    1. Force shut game
    2. Disconnect device cellular/wifi setting
    3. Switch off device
    4. Power off modem and router, and power up after 2 mins if you're using wifi connection
    5. Switch on device and reconnect cellular/wifi setting
    6. Start game

      If you are using wifi, the bandwidth and number of devices connected to it are contributing factors to your connectivity performance.


    Device Performance Issues
    Some older devices may have trouble keeping up with the game.
    • Clear cache - go to Safari in Settings app on iOS device and click [Clear History and Website Data].
    • Check that you have sufficient space on your device. Try deleting some unused apps/photos/videos etc if you don't.
    • Store away some (if not all) animated decorations in your restaurant
    • Avoid running other apps in the background
    • Let your game settle for a few minutes (3 mins or so) after starting it, before you do any activity
    • Delete and reinstall game if the above doesn't work


    Display/Graphics Issues
    1. Clear cache - go to Safari in Settings app on iOS device and click [Clear History and Website Data].
    2. Restart device and game
    3. Delete and reinstall game if the above doesn't work


    Sync Issues
    Ensure your connection is good. Always fresh start your game before you do any actions to avoid sync issues. It is recommended that we do not leave our games running in the background.
    • If you discover that you have forgotten to close out your game, force shut it without doing any activity and start it again.
    • You can force save your game progress by visiting another restaurant.
    • Do not leave your game immediately after your last action. Try to force save your game progress and sync with Storm8 servers before closing your game.

    Gem Dispenser (removed)

    The Gem Dispenser gives you 1 gem every 12 hours. Tap on it to collect your gem and the timer starts to count down and you can collect again in the next 12 hours. The gem stays at your Gem Dispenser and does not expire if you do not collect from it. However it does not accumulate any additional gems until it is collected. You should collect from it as close to every 12 hours as possible to get the most gems out of it.

    You can collect gems permanently from it as long as you are using the supported software (iOS 1.7.6+). It is not support on Android. Please note that you will not see your Gem Dispenser on your Android device if you are playing on multiple platforms. You will be able to see it when you return to playing on your iOS device.

    Troubleshooting for Frequent Issues

    How do I unlock old goals and the locked items?
    You can't unlock goals which have expired and the items from those goals remain locked. However you can redo those goals if/when Storm8 relists them again.

    Why did my food suddenly disappear?
    You may encounter a quick-sell of food if you block the door to your restaurant. Refrain from blocking your door to avoid this.

When you block the door, you may not see the customers coming in, but our system will still recognize them walking in and buying your items. When you open your door again, the consumption that took place while your door was blocked catches up, which is why it looks like you instantly lost all of your items.

    If you want to avoid the quick-sell, don't block your door.

    Why did my "Free Gems" icon disappear?
    This promotional feature comes and goes to random players. You may get it again if yours disappeared. Likewise you stand a chance to get it if you don't have it.

    Why did my restaurant restart at Level 1?
    You can recover your restaurant by logging back into your Game Center, if you are using an iOS device.
    To log back into Game Center, please follow these instructions on your device:
    1. Device Settings (little silver cog icon on your device)
    2. scroll all the way down to Game Center
    3. tap Game Center and login where it says Apple ID.
    4. Restart Restaurant Story.

    Why is my Gem Dispenser missing?
    Please note that you will not see your Gem Dispenser on your Android device if you are playing on multiple platforms. You will be able to see it when you return to playing on your iOS device.
